I don't have White's boots with the block heel, but I'm finding the Cuban heel very comfortable, no problems so far.

Isn't one of the cool things about shell how resistant it is to everything you can throw at it (including walking in them not making creases)? Just hit it hard with a brush and it comes back to life

If you're referring to the convo up above, the boots aren't shell. Checked them out yesterday in person though and I wasn't crazy about them. Leather was fine, just didn't like the shape.

This is true, I would confirm that they are actually horsehide. People misleadingly say cordovan to describe either horsehide or a brown coloured calfskin. It's never shell cordovan, or they would say shell cordovan.

For 150 dollars and DC Weather would Chippewa Gq's be a good choice?

They're not really workboots....

Don't

+1 ask in that ps thread. Or search it, there is a great post by zippy in there somewhere comparing the different models. Size varies drastically depending on the particular model/last so we can't give you a generic paul smith size conversion.

Seriously? They are available on the Grenson website in a UK12, which could very well be a US13.
