I’ve never sold only bought. Whites quality of a packer boot, have purchased half a dozen between $225 up to $350. Does seem to me prices have increased since purchasing most a few years ago.
@Scooterputtputt could you share a picture of this boot showing its profile from the top?Whites 690 & 695 packers. Nicks dress packers. Love them. Favorite style, packers. Goes against conventional wisdom, i went up half size from my semi dress boots. To my actual brannock size
Would love to just don’t have access to them. Sorry. I keep a few pair to work in at the cabin. Will be a few weeks or so@Scooterputtputt could you share a picture of this boot showing its profile from the top?

Slow and easy they say, for breaking those bad boys in. I’ll attest to that. Have definitely experienced what you are feeling right now. Have noticed there’s sometimes not a rhyme or reason why some may cause troubles. Having broken in 50 years worth of heavy work boots, going too quickly can definitely cause some accompanying pain, learned the hard way. In the end, once broken in, boots like yours have helped my knees. For me the double midsoles broke in comparable to single. Use them for hiking. Hope your knee gets better friend!Folks, I have been wearing my BHs for a mile or so walk in the evening, not exactly every day, I am lazy.
These boots have double midsoles so they are quite heavy. I walked a little less than a mile yesterday (Sunday) and today when I was wearing AE Higgins Mill in the office, I felt a strange pain in my right knee. It's still hurting when I walk, I wouldn't term it excruciating. Am I overdoing by walking in the Bounty Hunters? I thought it would help with the break-in process.
Can’t sleep so forgive me for the rambling. As far as the boots go with your knee pain, may I suggest a few ideas. In the beginning be extra diligent. For me the socks. Darn tough or equivalent. do not over stretch them by wearing left to right. Right to left. I tag one sock with colored thread. They then always fit perfectly with no pressure points. This has been #1 trick to eliminating my foot pain. Make sure the tongue is folded perfect. Lacing spot on. Take your time. Adjust it quite often, especially in the start. Once your dialed in doesn’t take much time. I do all this due to feet pain, replaced knee, and just getting wore out. Don’t get discouraged once you get them dialed in it will be sweet. Got a pair like yours due any week!Folks, I have been wearing my BHs for a mile or so walk in the evening, not exactly every day, I am lazy.

Obviously break-in times vary by person and by boot, so it's hard to generalise how break-in will be for each person.Folks, I have been wearing my BHs for a mile or so walk in the evening, not exactly every day, I am lazy.

It's quite possible tendons or ligaments in your knee have been strained a little bit - it's amazing what a little inflammation can do to cause pain & discomfort. The truth of the matter is, a double midsole boot is not ideal for walking in. Your entire foot and leg motion is going to be different because of the stiffness. I've been walking 1.5 miles most weekdays since the summer since I'm working from home now. About a month ago I developed a similar situation - an inflimation above my right knee that would ache like crazy in the evening. A compression sleeve and switching to shoes with a more flexible sole and the issue resolved itself. I wasn't wearing double midsole boots but had been wearing a couple newer boots. Yes, it helped break them in wonderfully but at a price. Combine the altered stride with the extended, constant walk and you get the inflammation.Folks, I have been wearing my BHs for a mile or so walk in the evening, not exactly every day, I am lazy.
