    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Extended morning walk with (slightly muddy and dusty) Zug grain Ilkleys. the double leather soles are surprisingly comfortable and I actually prefer them over the ubiquitous Dainite.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    That boot is pure, simple, straightforward perfection. Very interesting new (to White's) leather. What last is it built on? EDIT just read it's not your build (yet). But maybe the image source has some more info.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I'm not Legal Eagles, but own (among other leathers) a pair of BT SDs and absolutely love them. The colour is beautiful. It's not just some mid-brown/tan, but has a lot of ... um.. presence and depth. BT is drier / less waxy than the usual CXLs and feels silky smooth to the touch. However, it...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Lovely colour contrast with the natural edges! The finish & stitching look super neat too. Any update on your Chromepak pair with some wear?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    From the pics I would guess (!) you can go one width up in the entire boot, not only the front half. Assuming they are laced up as you typically wear them, the wide spread of the facings suggests you could use some extra width there too. The Swing last is not wider in the areas you marked on...

    ^ No personal experience with this specific leather, but the "shrunken“ tannage is not just an embossed leather. The grain is enhanced by chemicals that shrink the hides during the tannage. It can create a very dense, rugged leather. I have a pair of White's Boots in shrunken steer shoulder and...

    You can slip a piece of thick leather of appropriate colour in between the laces and the gusset tongue. If it's wide enough to just fit in the gusset folds, it will stay in place and not slip around, and it'll take up a noticeable amount of excess width. This helped a lot in getting my Ilkleys...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Beautiful pair. What's your first fit impression of the combo width, possibly (if you own one) compared to a standard single width build? I am considering this option for a future pair and wondering where exactly the transition from C to D happens.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Seems like someone misread your order somewhere in the process, which is frustrating of course. That said, the Desert Sand is lovely. My favorite roughout colour in White's current selection.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    #38 Swing, Horsehide, single leather sole – all the cool options! Lovely boots. Please also share a pic of them when you wear 'em! I think the edge colour contrast (or "mismatch") may be unavoidable with single leather soles. The "oak" sole leather is a different type of leather than the...
