Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Has anyone seen a 2-tone SD made with dress black and brown leathers? A quick google image search doesn't come up with anything. I'm thinking brown upper, black vamp with brown medallion toe cap.- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Thanks for the detail, you answered many of the questions I would have asked anyway. I would definately opt for the close trim and brown color (if not black) if you want it dressier. I have the standard trim with natural color on my BHs and it looks great, but very work-boot like.- chiliinabowl

Also, does the single celastic toe help retain shape? What if you get the toe cap? My BHs don't have the celastic toe or toe cap and they are holding shape good. I've only had them for about 6 months though.- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Ha! Well that ain't my wife. Believe me, with shoes >$400 a pop I'm lucky to talk her into that! I can't really complain though, I'm pretty sure I'm more expensive to keep clothed than her anyway. I didn't look on ebay but a quick search on-line brought up a new one on Amazon for $900, that's...- chiliinabowl

I can appreciate your forsight in purchasing a tool that will allow you to adjust shoe sizes as an investement. However, the exchange between me and my wife would be comical as I explained why I needed a $1000 shoe stretcher. I do share your general take on the heel height. I do still think it...- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Yes my BHs are a british tan/classic brown combo (both Chromexcel leathers) and they look very casual - the standard trim plays a part in the casual nature as well. Looking over old posts I found that Bl@ster posted many SD boots, all with lowered heels, in both blocked and curved. At one point...- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Thanks for the feedback. You might be right about the color. I was hoping to get the burgundy chromexcel but perhaps they won't "shine up" very well. I'm still undecided about the heel too, I'll check out the referenced post. I have a slant heel on my bounty hunters and they just seem so...- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I have a question about the retro oxfords (not related to your questions). I'm trying to order a pair SD that will have a similar look, only in a boot of course. I want something a little more formal to wear with a suit but I can't justify paying the extra $$ just to have it in shoe form. With...- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Several pages back I described a fitting issue I had. I am submitting this update to report that I had the issue resolved (remade by White's) and they now fit perfect. Andrew at Baker's did a great job of helping me out. I went ahead and had White's change the lowers to brown CXL. Now for my...- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
They are built with a single mid-sole. I agree with your "custom" fit comment and thoughts on heel slippage. That is why I just decided to go ahead and wear them in earnest as opposed to just walking around my house. I figured I really needed to break them in to see if they fit. Unfortunately...- chiliinabowl

That's pretty funny, you are dealing with the same thing! I probably looked at 80 pages of this thread but missed that one. When you say you shelved your BHs for now does that mean they are still eligible for return? I have worn mine outside so I am guessing they are not.- chiliinabowl

Thanks for your comments all. The whole classic brown/british tan thing is a bit odd. You'd think they would just stick to one to avoid confusion. I fretted over which to pick for a week!- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I got my BHs in a couple of weeks ago so I had some questions/comments. First the comments, love the boots, well made as were the pair of SJs I purchased in 1998. I had an interesting conversation with White's concerning the color. I ordered them in British Tan but changed to Classic Brown as I...- chiliinabowl

The folks at Bakers told me that they were getting a lot of complaints, I can't recall why. They said White's was soon to discontinue offering the commando mini lug half sole. Thanks for the comments on color.- chiliinabowl

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I have researched the hell out of these boots but would still appreciate some thoughts on a few specific details. 1. SD vs SJ toe shapes. I have a pair of SJs purchased in 1998 in 10.5EE. They have what appears to be a more "pointed" toe than the images I see of the SD. "Pointed" is relative I...- chiliinabowl
