2) What are the best boot laces to replace the laces my boots came with?
I meant to put this on the White's Boots discussion, but cannot figure out how to delete or move this post.
gait issues aside, a standard height block heel just looks goofy to me. throws everything off.
I've walked in both the standard heel and block. It does make a difference in gait; however, I have other boots with a block heel so it didn't feel weird. I was very close to selecting British tan when I bought my natural CXLs. I saw British Tan in person and it is a very nice color with more variation, depth, and character than any picture I could find. You can't go wrong with it IMO.Hi everyone. Looking to get my second pair of White's. My first pair - pictured below - have been fantastic. I love the arch-ease and robust build and especially the heel. That said, I am thinking about changing things up aesthetically on my second pair. I think the details in question are 1) going with a block heel at regular height rather than a cuban heel 2) still unsure about the sole. I am looking for a robust, hardy boot but also one that can be dressed up a bit and isn't too utilitarian. At this point I am strongly leaning toward british tan at 10" Any big fans of the british tan out there? I've read - as I recall - that some people are not crazy about the block heel at the standard height because the gait seems a little off. Is there a consensus on that? Also I am wondering if a full commando sole might be too clunky. Oddly it seems to be the only sole available that seems really rugged. I wish they had a more recessed commando sole available, but I am considering it anyway, clunky looks notwithstanding, as I would like something that I can hike around in, but also polish up a bit.

commando sole would probably be your best bet, but i don't think that's a standard option from white's, so you'd have to have baker do it or something. it's low profile enough to not make boots look chunky like the vibram 100.
After checking out more photos of the standard height block heel, I couldn't agree more…it looks kind of weird. SO, standard Cuban heel it is...gait issues aside, a standard height block heel just looks goofy to me. throws everything off.

Yeah, i have the mini lug on my brown dress bounty hunters. It would be nice to find something in between that and the Vibram 100. Too bad that's not an option.Or do the vibram 430 mini lug
.
And if you consider lowering the heel you should also consider how they wear vs how they look as the height is a feature for comfort.
I prefer the cuban myself.
Thanks, natty CXL was on my short list, but I want something I can polish up a bit if I feel like. I'm thinking that British Tan is going to be a good color.I've walked in both the standard heel and block.
