Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[chicagoan2016]

When did you place the order? HH will look exceptional!

Cheers,

I could look up the date.
I have professional commitments coming up and will be busy in the coming months.
White’s is the only brand I wear (the arch support) so wanted to stock up lol

Favorite White's?
I think they have to be my BHs in Maryam Tosconello Horse butt - just love the color, it's very rich.

For ease/comfort I still love my original SDs in brown cxl - very low maintenance and quick to put on/remove.

Speaking of British tan CXL, I replaced the stock false tongue with red dog. You could barely tell the difference. I have mentioned this before all my White’s boots are “reddish”!!!

If you put the laces threw the false tongue the opposite way you did in this pic you won’t be able to see the laces coming out of the hole

Breh, I agree with your technique correction, but bruh, the word you are looking for when describing something moving from one side of something to another, is not threw (the past tense of throw), but through. I had to say something brah(ndon).

@brandonboot @Abe_Room
The way I have laced the false tongue is because of this extra step ( taught to us by @klank74 ).

I've seen a few people do this. What's the theory behind doing it this way?

To look cool... or different... or unique... perhaps in the mystic chords of memory there was at one point a utilitarian purpose (like keeping the false tongue from sliding side to side) but it has since been lost to time... an anachronism... like the boots on which we wear them...

Our in-house expert, @klank74 , came up with this idea, the false tongue doesn’t stay in its place lol
This extra step helps with that!

@Jimk4003 , it wouldn’t hurt to look cool
