White's Boots

[seawolf]

Nice make-up. I love the SJ's.

[urbanwoodsman]

I don't ride a motorcycle or work construction so I went for Chromexcel. I got the heel counter made of black smooth though, to help the life of the boots.

Shane, the black CXL is really nice and soft. It'll make for a comfortable boot almost right out of the box. That being said, I think you made the right choice with the counter. The black smooth seems to be way more robust than the CXL.  Can't wait to see your new boots!

Yeah I can't wait. I have Alden Indys in Brown CXL and they are extremely comfortable. The CXL on the Aldens isn't nearly as thick as White's or as well supported. But I did notice on my Aldens that the heel had a lot of scuffing and nicks, so that's why I went with the black smooth.

Nice make-up. You're exactly right about the heel. Heel on my cxl Alden's is also beat up pretty bad.
But, why the block heel?

Looks.

I had to email Kyle to see if I could get them, wasn't an option on the site. But I'm sure it will be fine.

I have a block heel on my Aldens and Vibergs as well.

[seawolf]

That cuban heel might look a little funny, but once you get used to it, it's awesome! I absolutely love all of my boots with the cuban heel. My Aldens are pretty effed up on the heel as well. So much that the stitching has been worn away. They are in desperate need of repair.

[urbanwoodsman]

Yeah I'm just not a fan. Reminds me of cowboy boots.

Maybe I'll try them on my next pair.

I actually prefer the Cuban heel but to each their own

Looking forward to seeing these Shane, the make up looks very solid. Love the two tone of black and natural, if I ordered again I would do exactly the same, maybe with a double midsole and different toe leather.
