Thanks guys! I don't like the contrast stitching, so this is a relief.

With you completelyLots of folks do like the contrast stitching, but it brings with it a whole new layer of boot care. You can’t just polish or grease the boots, you have to thoroughly clean them and then use a neutral polish or conditioner to keep that stitching clean and “contrasting”. I admire the folks with that level of dedication to taking care of their gear, and do like the looks of some of the contrasts I’ve seen, but I’m too lazy for that. I’m happy to be able to brush on oil, grease, or polish as required and be done with it!
So don’t feel too bad; there’s at least two of us monochrome heathens on here.
I got the contrast khaki stitching on my olive waxed flesh bounty hunters I just ordered specifically because I know I'm probably barely ever going to touch that leather with any product, which should help keep the color of the stitching intact. Dunno if I'd bother with it on smooth leather that I'd be more likely to condition/oil/polish.
It’s looks good with brown dress too if I may say so myself?That sounds like a sharp color combination, and I agree that those boots would be a good use of contrasting (or in this case, complimentary?) stitching. I hope that you'll be sure to post pictures here when you get them!
Which ones? Refresh my memory lolI like these SD’s so much that I’m ordering another pair in black elk tan. This sale is dangerous.
@chicagoan2016 these. Went with the standard heel height on the new ones though.View attachment 1504900
Just got these crazy nice natural HH SD's from @PACostag because I got fed up with nobody providing updates with how this leather wears. Excited to break these in while I begin the wait for my Black Friday orders.
For me, I’ve sold off a lot of viberg/other boots that didn’t quite work sizing wise, so I feel comfortable buying them fast because I’m filling holes in the rotation that I know get a lot of use.I have ordered two BHs during the sale but the pointed toe packers (White's not Hathorns) look great. Like @Chrikelnel mentioned this sale is dangerous but I also remember @Luscombe 's recommendation to take this (White's boots) as a marathon and not a sprint.
I am kind on the fence about a third White's pair. What do experts here think? Should I wait until I get my two BHs and order more during next sale (Father's day sale)?
Thanks
I sure like mine.. maybe my favoriteI like these SD’s so much that I’m ordering another pair in black elk tan. This sale is dangerous.
I have a ton of AE boots, they are great especially for the price but have no arch support. I could try to sell them but Ebay fees and return policy among other things are making me hesitant. I would probably make half of what I have paid for the new pairs(AE).For me, I’ve sold off a lot of viberg/other boots that didn’t quite work sizing wise, so I feel comfortable buying them fast because I’m filling holes in the rotation that I know get a lot of use.
If you don’t wear them get rid of them. Even with the loss it’s not worth keeping shoes you don’t wear, and if you only get a bit for them it’s still a bit you can put toward white’s/other purchases. If you want to avoid fees I’m sure there’s an AE BST over on the CM side.I have a ton of AE boots, they are great especially for the price but have no arch support.

I dont know if I should keep them or take a loss and get rid of them?
That's probably one of the reasons I am a little cautious about White's. Although there is no comparison between the two brand but I would hate to make the same mistake!!!
Man, I need to get out of the house, oh shoot ! Most of the places are closed or closing early lol
