I hope you've had many orders for your Cordovan builds.

Pretty good so far. A few black have been built. Good response on the burgundy and brown.

• Smokejumper, 6" height, lace-to-toe
• Not sure about the last, could be #55 (Semi-Dress last).
• Single midsole, Vibram 700 outsole
• Standard sole trim (two rows of stitching)
• Standard (aka curved or "cuban") heel in standard height
• Rolled top, false tongues
• The leather looks like some sort of Chromexcel – probably natural CXL (brown CXL usually appears darker on images)

Hey guys, guess what, my third pair of whites just arrived today. Wow! What can I say, wow, this time I figure the size perfectly, now I know what you guys mean, fits like a glove. It's just so comfortable right out of the box, and I really love the distressed smooth leath, feels rich of oil, thicker yet still supple for my taste, and the vibram 430 feels some how softer than my one year old whites, not quite sure about that, maybe they changed the ingredients a bit, and the leather lace is better than before, not as thick, so now it can fit the speed hook perfectly. I am just so excited, some quick snaps to share.

Great leather choice! I love how the distressed smooth looks on your boots – nice contrast with the dressy medallion toe caps!

Thanks, appreciate it!

And some brief thoughts about the 1/2" lowered block heel.

They do feel comfortable, almost like wearing shoes without heel, your feet feel leveled when you stap on the ground, actually balanced, won't quite notice the low profile heel stack. But I won't do it again, because I am guessing they bit of straggled to get the heel done, you can see from the picture below, there is a curve under the rubber heel, I am guessing they need to soft the rubber before fix it to the leath stack, that I worried may lead to a problem with heel swapping when it weared down, I am not sure local cobbler can do it properly.

Raiminwhites - when you say you 'this time I figured out the size perfectly' what was the process? Did you send in tracings and measurements or just adjust sizing based on your experience with your other Whites?

Based on my experience with my other two Whites, which I bought from online dealers. And tons of information on this forum.
