        Mate, Is it single midsole? Your pics look really like double.
        But yea, I've heard by some guy that White's offers like 1.5 midsole on commando mini lug…

          You are basically right - the mini lug is attached to some leather, which makes the boot look like having a 1.5 sole. It was the main reason for me to get that sole.

                    I really don't get the Japanese obsession with two inch thick soles on boots.

                      Love it - that leather is nice, and double sole with v100 makes it a real shitkicker.  looks like it might be a BH - built on SD last.  regular SJ last seems to have a more squarish toe. but i agree, for me (esp. at 6'7"} its too much sole.

                              Prob has to do with their average height being like 5'6" ish

                              Those red dogs do look nice tho

                                My used White's Semi-Dress boots that I scored a nice deal on. They are size 8 1/2 D black Horween Chromexcel leather, leather toe caps, block heel, brown edge, Vibram 700 sole, nickle eyes and hooks. I need to get another pair of boots that I like this much as I don't want to wear anything else.

                                  I kinda like it, purely from an aesthetic point of view (Unpopular opinion?).

                                    A couple of pics to show how the sole is connected with a layer of leather.

                                      Story Time.

                                      I was at Ikea today, and the wife needed to use the bathroom. I sit down on the bench to wait, look over and there's an old guy sitting next to me. Mid 60s, maybe older, with a big bushy white moustache. Before I had even sat down I had scoped his boots. They were definitely Whites. I looked over nonchalantly and said "nice boots." After he said thanks, I asked him if they were Whites. He seemed surprised that I knew what they were, but began to talk about them. They looked like a black dress leather, definitely well worn, with the cuban heel and a vib 430. The toe box was definitely not celastic or steel, and it had the more pointy look of a Viberg, so I'm assuming maybe the Farmer/Rancher?

                                      He said that they were great for standing all day at the farmer's market (he was a farmer with a real texas drawl, but living in Ohio), and great for walking "if you're not in a big hurry." They aren't good "for climbin' hills or rushin' around"

                                      I wish my phone wasn't dead, because I would have taken a pic. He said he had worn Red Wings until 1980, and that this was is second pair of Whites (he'd had them since 2000, worn them every day, and had 1 rebuild)

                                      God damn if that didn't re-ignite my desire for a pair of red dog roughout bounty hunters…

                                            farmer rancher uses the same last as the smoke jumper its just built with a 700 or 430 sole vs the vibram 100. so the toe wouldn't be pointy. cool story though.
