            Nice boots megatron.

            I just order my smoke jumpers from bakers… Feels like crap waiting for them being made.

              Thank Ronaldish, it's about time that I give mine a service and put them away for the winter….the single leather sole doesn't like wet, frost, snow etc....

              You won't be disappointed when they arrive, Whites boots are absolute quality.

                At least about 4-5 weeks before they are made.. Damn, the wait is painful…. :-\

                  will be worth it when you get them.

                  that's a really nice makeup on that boot.

                    The only bad (shocking would be a better word) part about White's is the arch height, especially on the smoke jumper.  If you have a low arch or just haven't worn boots that high before, it takes some getting used to while your feet stretch out.  They feel great after a couple of weeks.

                      Is the arch so high that people with flat feet will have problems wearing them over time? My Alden Indys are pretty much completely flat and very comfortable for my flat feet.

                        My feet aren't flat, but my dad's and sister's are.  I might have a lower arch than others as a result.  The SJ hurt like a sonuvabitch for about 2 months, but now they feel wonderful.  I kept another pair of shoes around just in case during the break-in period, but never had to switch.

                        My only real criticism is they don't use a cork insole that will mold to your feet like Alden uses.

                        You can also have the Whites lowered by a fair amount.  I think it's a 1/4" max, but it should make a pretty big difference.  The type of sole might matter too.

                          I did mine 1/4inch lower.. Luckily for me. My feet are pretty flat…

                            Hmm, I think I have to go for a pair of semi-dress brown chromexcel captoes.

                            I wonder if it is possible to get custom options on the cap toe, like double stitching and another shape. I am in love with the cap-toe-shape on the 1000 mile limited edition.

                            Seize the day and don't you cry.

                              Only customization of the captoe on White's Semi Dress is the "medallion" cap toe.  I know you can get this option through Baker's.

                                  You might want to try buildaboot.com by bakers. Pretty fun website. I ordered my white's there.

                                    Thanks for the tip! Been playing around a while now 🙂 Think I know what I want. Just have to wait to 2012 and a new budget year 😛

                                      Guys, what are the odds that White's will give you a "nice" price if you order two pair over the same configuration, only difference being black and brown chromexcel?  😛
