Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts? - Page 31

I just got the #8 Shell Cordovan Semi-Dress!

Have a look:

Considering Width, any last have from A to FF(4E) width to choose. But the Semi-Dress Last is lower at instep, so if your instep is high, you may find it a little too pressing from the top.
Other Lasts that Smoke Jumper use, include Standard Smoke Jumper Last, #38 Swing Last (Very Wide Toe), #461 Last (Upturned Toe), and Northwest Last (Wedge Sole Last). And they are mainly different in shape and profile. The #38 Swing Last is the widest of them all.

YOU BIG SPENDER YOU!

I think it`s for gd1944`s customer

Yes, my own taste is a Brown Smooth Smoke Jumper, not this.

you have a shop in Harbin?

Sort of. Online Shop.

Anyone interested in Semi-Dress Brown Chromexcel 12.5EE? Got them custom ordered from White's couple of weeks ago, but they are too large for me. Boots are in excellent condition. Drop me a message.

i got the #38 Swing last. they're wide, but seem to have a lower profile @vamp than my SJs. it's got same upturned toe as #461 [that has a rocking motion when walking] & run bigger than SJ/SD, so sizing down 1/2 to 1 size is necessary.

my questions are:
does the #461 last have a similar high profile vamp like on the Viberg service boots?
how is the toe box?
how should i size on them?

Yes, the #38 Swing Last is the most roomy one, but as for lowered profile, I don't really know that.
The #461 Last, I think it will just feel like the Standard Smoke Jumper Last in size.

Did you order via Baker's? You may be able to return.

not my size but what is your brannock size?

white`s said their boots will slightly draw down in length as it gets broken in. Otherwise most people have had their success sizing 1/2 - 1 size down

 

 

what about bounty hunter ? do u like it ?

 

 

 

even custom made also can be returned ??? i think custom made is non-return-able

Actually, what I wear is a Bounty Hunter, it's Smoke Jumper on Semi-Dress Last.
