Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[knucks]



I ordered some custom white`s off baker`s for my brother for xmas that just arrived last week. Turned out he already placed an order that same month I placed it through White`s directly
I also have an order arriving for myself off Baker`s. Dunno what to do with the extra pair, I am away from home atm and he`s not sure whether Baker`s accept returns on custom sd`s

I do believe they take returns,but depending on the size you also would have no issues selling them for sure.

black chromexcel, natural sole, half commando, block heel (lowered 1/4), antique hardware.
dislike the laces that came with them, any suggestions?

sorta rounded, didnt realize. feels fine tho

Hi Knucks!

Is this double midsole?

I was once told that commando half sole cannot be used on double midsole, but yours is apparently double......

 

[knucks]

No, single. The commando sole is half sole so it may look like i've got a mid double sole

 

[gd1944]

Oh, but that surely looks like double midsole. Look at the boundary between the 2 supposed layers.

cool pic I found

yeah thats what I thought too. maybe commando sole wasn`t possible with a single leather sole?

 

[knucks]

Hm maybe. I ordered single wasn't told it couldn't be done..no idea

 

[brokeassp]

thought I`d post this here to in case anyone feel like their boots might be too tight (or loose)-this is a good basis.

Buddy of mine has some sd`s that I thought were too big for him-eyelets almost touching and he didn`t need to unlace loosely to slip the boot in, I could imagine that he could wiggle his foot in the toe and heel-but I guess some people do love to wear shoes certain ways-more power to him

looks good like that though. can you confirm with bakers? I`d like to order one just like that in british tan for the winter

Id also like to know my pair coming is 430 vibram so it's not commando my next pair will be. Thinking about brown chromexcel have brown dress on the way.

Bought konadog's semi-dress boots w/single leather sole, roughout toe & british tan uppers (thanks j***!)
Yes, I need to do something about the backyard. Like plant something.

 

[slide13]

really like the combination of rough out and regular leather...looks nice.

 

[meso]

Thanks! It's an unusual make that reminds me of a saddle shoe (in a good way). The contrast is interesting but not distracting.

 

[crosswound]

mine are definately a size too small does white's/bakers do exchange in size for made to order? if not -__-;; @ bad economy and low baller city.

 

[brokeassp]

crosswound what is your brannock size? is there 5/8 - 3/4" of space between the toe and the boot?
