Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[brokeassp]

Got mine today! pretty much just like the retro/original brown dress single sole with the tan liner and close sole trim. Fits awesome! Went TTS BTW.

I bought my brother one too but unknown to me he had already ordered straight from white`s so he had to return it and have it exchanged for a filson 256 I think. Props to Kyle for the outstanding service.

I`ll see how this one breaks in and I will put another order though the recent emergence of all these actual pics of other colors are making it hard :foo:

my apologies young lad

Just like the original with the trim and leather lining. Just wanted something nice to beat on yet a little dressy for places that have stricter dress code

Bought some shoe trees, saddle sopa, brush, edge color, LP from white`s too

is the Fiebing's Edge Dye what White's uses?

 

[brokeassp]

I am assuming it is since that`s the only edge dye they have on their site.

I had some crappy shoe brush so I figured I`d buy a new one and turns out the white`s kit comes with a shoe horn too.

came across this pic

Thats the config for my SD I am goin for next. No close sole trim this time + getting leather laces

Just have to decide on black dress vs black chromexcel

 

[sinnedk]

whites look a lot like wolverines

 

[SLAB]

not really

 

[allenp24]

Might go with the classic dress boot with the bull hide. Anybody have a pair of whites with bull hide?

weather sucks so I am currently breaking my sd`s on the carpet right now. Wow glad I went TTS on these. Actually kyle from bakers measured me on a 7B width but after double checking on a brannock I am actually a C width. I supposed I could get in to the B width as well but as it stands the C width is pretty snug around the instep. Maybe I had sent him an inaccurate measurement as well since I did the tracing by myself. I supposed I could go .5 size down which seems to be the general consensus around here but my toes are about 5/8" to 3/4" away from the top which is about what White`s recommend. I also tried on a D width my brother had and it was just as comfy. My ball is right on the widest part of the boots and the eyelets don`t touch.

YMMV on the sizing but it all goes down to how someone prefers to wear their boots and how their heel-to-ball/toe length measures as well.

Have the chance to buy some new smoke jumpers 10 inch with black rough off for $240 only problem is they are size 10.5 ee and I normally wear 11 d. So tempting!!
