    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    @ Everyone, At some point in time every boot owner will have to clean their boots. I try to wait as long as possible to clean mine with an actual leather cleaner, in part because I have had VERY bad luck with numerous cleaning products (including Lexol Leather Cleaner). On my most precious...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Okal, The horsehide has truly surpassed my expectations. I tend to be extremely hard on boots, often completely wearing them out within six months. My horsehides have been completely soaked for hours on end, covered in mud, and really roughed up. In fact, after being completely saturated...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    In terms of durability, (i.e. scuff and scratch resistance) it is important to look at the relative density/thickness vs pores in a given area of hide. Many people say that elephant would be the most "durable" hide; however, this is contingent solely upon thickness. While elephant hide may be...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    All my White's SDs have leather soles, but I will resole a pair soon with the commando mini lug half sole for versatility reasons (wet hiking conditions/gravel).

     CXL is often susceptible to thick creases, don't sweat it man, it an attribute of character... Cherish it!

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

     Go for the double leather sole, but if ya hate the idea of an all leather sole, the mini lug commando is sweet.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Ok so, cuban vs block... My oh my are there a lot of debates about this topic on this thread. In my most humble opinion they both have their place and should be appreciated equally. I spent the first 27 year of my life living I'm Texas and living in cowboy boots. I have literally worn nearly...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    @ okal, mine are standard SD last. My second pair are close trim with no cap toe because I want the variety and I also like the look. They each serve their purpose. The double stitched standard trim can be a bit cumbersome, but have that authentic work boot appeal. The second pair is designed to...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    @ tavoz, these are the lowered block heel. On other configurations I think the regular block heel looks a bit funny/chunky. I felt that by lowering it and adding the double leather sole, it would even out the overall look. I actually have another pair on the way, same configuration but with no...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    These have about three months wear. Their configuration is a bit different compared to what I've seen before: brown HH, double leather sole, heel lowered 1/4th... They are by far my favorite boots, looks and wear

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I'm sorry but what is confusing? The options I listed are all possible configurations listed on the Baker website. Should I describe it differently?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Has anyone every seen a pair of SDs with a double leather sole, single mid sole, standard trim, and a boxed 90 degree heel (lowered 1/4")? I want to order a pair with this configuration if it doesn't look funny.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    The area I had described was noticeably thin, which I observed while cleaning. The exterior was lightened slightly through wear; however, I have no experience with this style of boot. Not to diverge, but I have been wearing all leather cowboy boots for at least a decade. I have acquired an...
