White's Boots

[Lucifer]

I think I'll go with a pair of white's as my 2012-boot investment. Black chromexcel, antique eyes/hooks, natural coloring on sole and cap toe… drool

You cannot go wrong with Whites, the build quality is incredible.

[barun]

not sure I will ever buy anything but Whites again

[Megatron1505]

I doubt I'll ever purchase any other boots for regular wear. I'm going to resole my Abingtons, and just bought some Israeli army combat boots to beat up through the winter, my leather soled SD's wouldn't be much use in snow.

Definitely my next pair of boots

I got my share of brown boots right now (danner mountain light, alden indy and 1000 mile boots), but I need a good pair of black boots too, and for now I've ordered a pair of dr. martens ormonds (I know, in a completely.. totally different league. So the long term plan (2012) is black chromexel, cap toe, double or triple sole, brass hardware version of the White's semi dress. Perfect for someone in the legal profession like me

what boots are you referring to Dave?

[dave]

The SD I posted above… Someone asked me for the specs in a PM, so I thought I'd post them.

[barun]

ahh, thanks.  I love whites and I'm glad you bought at Bakers, they seem to be good people.
