White's Boots

[TinMan]

decided on my sole config,

went with a single midsole, block heel, and a vibram 700 half comp.  should be here in 6 weeks. pics as soon as I get them.

I would love add to the awesome pic already on here.

Word to the wise on the commando.. it leaves marks.  The half comp doesn't.  Just found that out on the kitchen floor

no regrets

After some recent sales, I think I will be calling Baker and White's today to discuss my options. As Viberg NEVER wrote me back, they can save it. I will report back.

Just spoke with Baker. Turn around time would be about 4 weeks. I think I am going to jump. Just need to figure out the make up and confirm my sizing.

Good decision L, you even got me considering the Oxfords after my initial thoughts

Tinman, can't wait to see your set up 

Those Whites above….....not loving the christy, again

[TinMan]

Ron,
Is the Arch Ease still hurting your feet….. or do you have them broke in?

Mega, I will get pics up as soon as they arrive.

[demonito]

what sole is that? i like the thick mashmallow sole

[TinMan]

I think it is the vibram 2021

The soles on those boots remind me of…..

…..and not in a good way.

[ronaldlsh]

Tinman, i think it got a lot better. Can easily wear them out for the whole day.

But i still feel a bit of pain after one whole day or walking. I guess this is unavoidable due to my flatfoot..

[TinMan]

Mega this is a pic of the christy wedge.  The sole on the oxfords and that black roughout boot is a 2021 and it's an industrial comfort slash walking sole.  It is not as dense as the christy.  At least that is what my research is telling me….

Is there a good way to be reminded of this?
Yikes.

[Megatron1505]

TM, I hear ya, and I dislike them both 

I have nothing against a white, wedge sole on less costly boots, but they wear too easily to be on boots this expensive in my opinion. I have the christy sole on my Abingtons, and something similar on my Wolverines…...but never on my Whites.

Having said that, the resole price from Whites is very, very good, and the christy looks good on the oxfords, but as a rule...never !!!

Whites smoke jumpers, brown oiled leather

[madmonday]

that oiled leather is something  special, i'm not a fan of that boot makeup, but that leather looks really nice & the boot looks to be great quality.  i also like the natural wooden bits, really compliments that leather.
