    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    On a trip and I've noticed my boots have started squeaking. I'm 100% sure it's the sound of my foot rubbing against the insole when I step. Is this the sort of thing I can fix by just conditioning the leather insole a bit? Or perhaps some talcum powder? I think my feet just aren't sweaty enough...

    these might be some of the best semi dress I've seen (from White's Closeout section).

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Would love some more pics of the swing last (maybe even off the foot). I think I'm going to order two pairs this Christmas and one of them will be a swing last model. Even if the swing last looks a bit weird, I think it's only use shoe nerds who actually notice stuff like this; barefoot shoes...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Shipping from White's to the UK is $125 (!) when it's half the price from Bakershoe. I'd really quite like to order some White Perry moc toes so is there any way I can get around that exorbitant shipping cost? And here are my Brown Dress MPs after their first saddle soap + bick4: I love these boots

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Haven't visited this thread in a little while. I've been loving the look of White's Moc toe boots but they still won't offer customisation on them which is a shame. I'm toying with the idea of getting a pair of Burgundy CXL MP boots with a brogue toe-cap; something a bit smarter. Main thing i'm...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I decided to attempt a trip to Prague last weekend exclusively wearing my MPs. I can say that whilst you absolutely can do 20-25k steps a day in a pair of 1.1kg boots, your feet will hate you for it eventually. No blisters or anything like that, but at least with a Vibram 430 sole, you'll never...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I didn't realise combo lasts cannot be crafted with stitchdown construction. I hope that doesn't mean they'll do away with them as my combo-lasted MP boots are the best fitting boots I've ever owned. Hopefully we'll get some warning in advance because I'll order a bunch of boots if that ever...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    @Luscombe Great looking boots; that natural CXL is aging beautifully. I actually have a couple of questions about the Stevens boots for you guys. 1) How much lighter are they than bounty hunters and MPs? 2) Is there a definitive answer about what last they're built on? I think it's supposed to...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I think I had the opposite problem to you in that heel was seldom a problem for me but boots tended to always be too tight in the toes. I've ordered so many pairs of boots from different brands and they've always fit perfect except for being too narrow in the toe box (yes, I do indeed have...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    White's do combo-lasts yes but as @Jimk4003 said, they're not going to do a D/A last. My MP boots are a 13D/E (D in the heel, E in the toes). I'm very curious to see what D/A feet might look like; are you a good swimmer by any chance? :P

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Just asking a question (and I don't mean to come across as remotely dismissive) but I don't think I've ever seen a pair of SDs with 8 eyelets. Did they definitely say that they could do that (I tuned into this epic a little late it seems :P)? If they can do 8 eyelets that would look seriously...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Like I said, WFH + British summer means I really haven't worn these as much as I'd like. Only about 50-60 hours in them so far but I've really been enjoying them.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The combination of UK summer heat and WFH for the last 2.5 years means I seldom get to wear my Whites. Anyone else relate? :(

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Mate I think these look fantastic (though I'm avid fan of a full 430 sole), If they're comfortable and they're no longer squeaking i think you're winning! Also, the denim stains on the back are 🔥🔥🔥

    Probably put around 30-35 hours in now (including a full day trip to London). So happy with how these have turned out.
