    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Was asked for an update on the horses and thought I would share here as well. Apologies on not having brushed the blue pair before taking the pics

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    It was essentially a rebuild of the boot, the uppers were the original but everything else below that was new

    It was the leather shank coming loose for me, had to send it back in to be fixed.

    Yup those are the same pair of navy horse hide. All my boots are on the Swing, it fits my feet the best ?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    This pair is built on the Swing last. I hammered out all the custom details with Kyle, then placed the order through the Bounty Hunter page, writing out the full build details in the comments section.

    Here’s a quick post-work snap in my front hall, hope it’s what you were looking for?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Impact absorption is excellent, I think you’d be pretty happy with it. Flexibility is slightly less than my half commandos, but they’re slowly breaking in and I don’t feel hugely held back by them.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Navy blue horse butt from Maryam, great stuff and really unique colour, looks more steel grey than deep navy when starting out, but I can see the blue showing more and more as wear and patina sets in. I’ll try to get more on foot photos soon, but did post a quick one a few pages back.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thanks a bunch for the kind words! If I recall, when I started out I ordered the basic tools like small pieces or straps of leather, needles, thread, punches and stitching chisels from online stores such as Rocky Mountain leather supply, OA leather supply and a few more. I didn’t do the starter...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thanks a bunch! I’m just a self taught hobbyist, making whatever catches my fancy. Leather working is very calming to me. This horse rump shows everything in a very cool way!

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Wasn’t planning on using the false tongues that came with my most recent pair, so decided to make a watch strap from them. Also updating quickly with the boots. They’ve already taken me up a tree to rescue a cat. Good times!

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Here’s a quick low quality snap of them on foot at work, not sure if it’s what you’re looking for? The crepe sole is really great for cushioning, I’ll report back on how it does on ice in a bit if anyone is interested. Currently getting snowfall here in Toronto. I chose 7” just because I...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    My feet are clownishly large for my frame so I usually try to avoid drawing attention to their width, but I can absolutely see these with double row stitching in my head. Someone should do it!

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Definitely on the lighter side, more of a muted steel blue under certain lighting. I’m excited about the patina potential, which seems like a common trait with my horse butt from Maryam so far. Maybe reach out to Baker’s to see! I asked about blue anything and Kyle let me know about the navy...
