Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[Royteane]

I'm discussing with Kyle to have White's or Wesco Oxford built with golf sole. I dont know if it is good idea or not. My current golf shoes now are over stretched, so something stronger and a bit heavier is what I am loking for.

There are a lot of good golf shoes on the market. Why go through the time and energy involved with all of that? A lot of R&D goes into it and I can't imagine getting something that would be truly correct

the oxfords pictured above are natural cxl, double leather sole, 1/4 lower block heel. no celastic toe, brass eyes. I really liked what style forum was doing with their make up but I love the way White's fit my foot so i decided to work with bakers boots and see if we could come up with something similar. These nailed it plus the fit is perfect for my foot. These will be my go to summer shoe from now on. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Those Oxfords are fantastic. Makes me want to order a pair immediately. Sadly, that money will have to go in my car first (which is made in Italy and has an unquenchable thirst for repairs;-)
Congratulations on your build. As others have written above, it's made me consider oxfords for the first time.

I understand that point, my concern is over-stretching. I tried serveral brands, all end up with over-stretched in about a year. I went to the shop last week, tried serveral pair. dont have any real WOW.

Wide size is also scared to find in my country. Last year I went to the shop, made some try 9.5D 10D 10.5D. I thought that 10 is too narrow and 10.5 is too long. I decided to ebay 10EE. And that's wrong, it came too large. my foot can twist inside, that made the shoes over-stretched in very short time.

Beautiful Oxfords! Natty CXL is really growing in popularity...Love the look

What are some good leathers that would go well as the leather for the upper shaft on the Red Dog BHs. I wanted something a little more comfortable on the top but at the same time something that is long lasting like the Red Dog. How about Brown Chromexcel or Brown Dress?

I love @andy b. 's boot below but looking to see if there were others that were good.

Thank you.. Cool website to try out the different features of the boots. However the colors on the website are not even close to the actual colors of the leathers Whites offers.

So this is the "Retro Oxford by White's Boots" on Baker's website? I always wondered why they're so expensive - roughly 150$ more than a Semi Dress, right?
How's the fit and sizing? Like an SD, just lower?

And not nearly all the leathers are there for options. I thought they would have fixed this by now.

What would be cool would be either red dog bullhide or red dog rough out. It doesn't fit your 'more comfortable' criteria, but I think it would look boss.

I think these oiled leather break in to be comfortable enough anyway, don't they?

Maybe burgundy french calf or red milano water buffalo would fit well?

I actually like the Red Dog Bull Hide very much. Is Bull Hide a hard leather too? I actually thought it would be comfortable but not as hard wearing as the Red Dog..

Also BuildaBoot has Red Dog Smooth and Red Dog Oiled. I am guessing it is the same leather. Am I right..

^ I don't know the answer to either of the questions, sorry.

From what I can tell bull hide is much softer and more flexible than the smooth leathers, but still quite durable… Red Dog Oiled is Red Dog Smooth with Ober oil...
