White's Boots

how long have you guys actually worn a cxl leather o your work boot? i wear mine walking, biking, and working in construction. anyways yes i agree wearing cxl leather on a jacket , wallet and belt even bags theyll look great! but when on your feet exposed to all these chemicals and you need to start cleaning them with all these leather cleaner you will know what i am saying

My SD's are tomorrow being shipped to James Taylor and Sons of London, to have a second leather midsole, and a Vibram composition half sole fitted. The cost is a bit harsh (£120 with return shipping), but they're the only cobbler to respond with a confident "yes we can do that attitiude". The response from other cobblers has been kind of "we'll have a go at it if you want"…...not inspiring. I'll post pics upon their return, which should be 2 weeks(ish).

Sorry Mega, had to quote this. This is true for so many things.

Anyone ever order these custom Baker's Boots/Shoes by White's?
Seems like a slightly cheaper alternative to the regular White's. And with the Coupon Code "TWITTER" you can get an extra $12 off plus free shipping I believe. Is a machine stitch down sole so much worse than the hand sewn version?"White's quality and craftsmanship and at a lower price than the traditional smoke jumper because of machine stitch down saves from labor intensive hand sewn welt construction."
The collar is a bit weird but I think it would be comfortable.

I'm going to be ordering those oxfords with my next pay packet. Looks like a good summer shoe to me.

I can't see how these would be that much different then all those pretty Vibergs besides being about half the price. $288 shipped, I mean come on. That's quite a deal. A custom shoe/boot that can be 2-tone. They're about the same price as Red Wings.

I totally agree, Viberg quality for Red Wing price, it's a no brainer
-
It says they will be on the build a boot site soon. Will be cool to see these on there.

Exactly the same Chris.

Btw, i was talking about the edges of the cxl leather. Not the edge of midsoles.
.
This is also one of the reasons I liked the cxl
