Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts? - Page 32

 

 

bounty hunter is the best model of white's. i am also only into bounty hunter.

Want to order the Baker's Oxford, but I am completely new to White's Boots.

I see that Baker's offers this oxford in brown chromexcel. Any pics of this oxford in brown cxl? Thoughts on such a makeup? I want something that would approximate this viberg oxford (but for a lot less money).

Sorry for the monologue, but I did find a pic of the Hathorn oxfords (same as Baker Oxfords?) in brown cxl with white soles from a shop here in Japan. These look great. I know most on here our into boots, but I'm surprised these oxfords aren't talked about more?

is there any other [distinct] difference between 461 & SJ, aside from the upturned toe?

 

 

is this a bounty hunter or classic work boots ???

 

 

i want to know to. any expert know the different besize the upturned toe ? it would be great if you can show pic too.

i want to order a pair of smokejumper but i dont know which last i should choose. headache...headache....

Its a Classic workboot.

Thanks. the block heel look bit wired on a workboot ...

do any body have a pic of 1/4 inch higher heels on whites boots ?

On the subject of heels...

How tall is the standard semi-dress heel? I believe I once measured it at approx. 1.5" but I'm hoping someone with a pair can confirm.

Thx.

^4cm on the dot__ 1.5 is about right.

Thank you sir.

Anyone know if it's possible to add a 1/4" lift to an existing heel? The current heel on my pair is only 1.25" (they were an old eBay find) and I'd like to bring it up to standard SD heel height.

Do I need to replace the entire heel? Would be a shame 'cause there's plenty of life left in the Quabaug.

i got my MTO SD HH lowered by 1/4", as well.
i, also, would like to know if & how to acquire a lifting/lowering "kit"__ hey KYLE, maybe you can answer that for us

i read in this thread that you can work things out with baker..it has been done..
