      Looks like Smoke Jumpers, not sure they are White's.  Is White's stamped anywhere on the boot?  The way the boot is stitched and the last looks like White's.  As far as the leather, they don't look like buffalo to me - maybe horse, although thats not so common in White's.  "Looks" like standard black cowhide, but hard to tell.  Looks like these have been used as work boots, so less likely that it's an exotic leather imo.  The double leather on the inner sides of the boots is also unusual, more like a lineman boot feature??  I don't see that feature offered as a White's option on Baker's…

          I'm really starting to warm up to the lace-to-toe style, something is never had considered a year ago.

          And I'm starting to like the look of the Cuban heel… what's happening to me!

          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
          Well, I have others.

                LOVE curved heels - feel like I lived 50 years in the dark.  Here in the midwest U.S. you never see cuban heels on work boots, only cowboy boots…  Who knew?  And I agree with everyone on Lace To Toe, it is perhaps an acquired taste, something I have grown to appreciate.  But I got onto the curved heels right away, just loved the look from the first time I saw it.

                    My next pair will have them. As it is, I wish I had spec'd then on my current pair of BH.

                      @Anesthetist I am with you, had the same "problem" with my first BH´s, but I traded the pair. I have a pair SJ´s with the cuban heel, and they are awesome!

                            Whites isn't stamped anywhere, but the sizing 10 1/2 C is the same style lettering as my semi-dresses located in the same place too. – with the "c" sizing option I'm thinking that i guess they could be a custom boot, but not entirely sure.

                            that little extra piece of leather has been confusing to me too def. more like the lineman for sure

                            anyone else have any ideas???

                            i'm a little bit shy, a bit strange, and a little bit manic

                                    I am still totally on board with the straight heel.  I understand the functionality of the Cuban, but it will always look weird to me…

                                        These have been to hell and back to say the least.

                                        Custom White's Packers that were originally rough out and now, well, not really. The tounges really only show the true original color.

                                        I have a  feeling that these may be the most beat pair on here, but they have never failed me and i still wear them almost everyday at work. I'm an manufacturing engineer at an aerospace company so i stand in oil all day.

                                        i don't think i could ever part with them after this long.

                                            Glad to see that work boots are being worn for real work; conditions my pairs will never see as I have a desk job!

                                            How long have you had them, and do you plan on sending them back to White's for a rebuild?
