    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I am looking at the Centennial Hiker. In need of a boot to take on upcoming backpacking trips next summer. Anyone have experience with these? What about hiking in SD's that have an aggressive sole? I have a pair of 8" rebuilt smoke jumpers but worried they are too heavy for long mountain...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    i probably wore them 30 - 40 times during the cooler months. just getting back into them now. the leather does not show any crease at all - it is very stiff. i do use wooden shoe trees so i think that helps. here's the build: Black Shark Standard last Black eyelets with hooks Black liner -...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    so I've had these black shark SD's for about a year. they started off real black but are now taking on more off a silver/gray/black shade, which i really like. i haven't oiled or done anything to them yet. the shark leather is quite tough and just now starting to get a bit supple. would...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Allan - do you know if you can ask to have the stiching in black vs. the normal white? After looking at the pictures that ewing sent I think you're right - the double white stiching looks like it will detract from the look I am going after.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Is this picture the black shark? it looks kinda brown but maybe it is just the lighting. the close-up pictures look more black. awesome looking leather.

    These boots would be worn more for dress than for work

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I am thinking about ordering a pair of black or grey SD's. The Horoween Chrome Excel look sharp but the Moongrey Bullhide and the Black Shark look really good too. Maybe there are other options not listed on the Whites web-site? Looking to get some opinions - bring 'em on boys.
