White's Boots
-
Ok, this is what I'm going to go with, but Chrome Excel rather than calf, and brown edging rather than natural.
-
Mega, go for it! The chromexcel leather looks really good..
And so the White's finally arrived.
6inch Smokejumper with Brown Chromexcel
Vibram #430
I love the look of the double stitch.
I must say I am impressed by the construction of the boots, the stitching qualities are top notch and I love the feel of the laces haha. Definitely worth the wait.

really nice!!!

Absolutely beautiful Ronaldish, how do they feel on your feet straight out of the box? How long did they take to arrive?
-
Generally between $390 - $800 depending on style, leather configuration, and options such as cap toes, celastic toe, lining, sole etc…
You can get an absolutely beautiful, custom made pair to your specific configuration for around $500. It's only when you start adding stupid things like Shark Leather that you stray into the reals of ridiculous pricing.
-
What's the general price point for White's please?
You can see how their various leathers and options change the price @ http://www.buildaboot.com/

A basic semi-dress boot starts around 390. if you use "twitter" code you get $12.00 off. There's more options if you customize a boot at bakershoe.com rather than buildaboot.com. I've spent many hours creating different make-ups.

Can any of you leather experts recommend me a high shine leather to use in contrast to a mainly bull hide Bounty Hunter?

dress ( dry tanned leather) is WAY better than cxl .

Ok, I've done a lot of yapping over the last few pages, and not a lot of showing. These arrived to me today (again, new to me), I picked them up from nicecrackaction just before Christmas. This is my first experience of Smoke Jumpers, and I'm so impressed that it had bought me some thinking time on my custom order ….. or at least satisfied my blood lust for now.
Pics taken both with and without flash to give a balance of the true colour.

Cheers Rafa, the weird thing is that I have always thought that Smoke Jumpers look shit compared to SD's and Bounty Hunters for some reason, and now I know why. Smoke Jumpers are not a boot that pictures well, but in the flesh they are every bit as pretty as SD's, and I hope to find out soon about Bounty Hunters.
