White's Boots

[ronaldlsh]

Was rushing to go out, so I didn't try it on.. But the leather felt solid..

It took bakers about 6 weeks to make them. Shipping was about 1 week plus to me.

Thanks in advance

Great pics Ronald and nice boot configuration

What's the general price point for White's please?

[Megatron1505]

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.

cheers Mega adds to mental list

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.

Thanks guys

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

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.

looking good from what i can see…not my cup of tea but i think they´ll suit you just fine...

looking forward to see them in your new waywt-pics

[Megatron1505]

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.

[Finn666]

crossing fingers for ya matey…

but tbh with ya...i don´t know why, but to me they always look like pig´s trotter when seen on a picture.
never saw this type in person so i can´t really judge about´em, but yeah...

[Megatron1505]

I think I can say that they're probably a boot you have to see in the flesh to appreciate.

that´s what i think as well…i hope you can prove me wrong though

[Seul]

Nowt wrong with cute pig trotters… 

Ok no seriously: not a boot I'd wear, but they look hard as fuck, extremely well made from what I can tell, and am intruiged to see them age!..
