[demonito]

NO NOT ALL YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW THICK OF THE LEATHER WHEN YOU ORDER IT FROM HORWEEN

just thought i should share this on here…

@riff:

For those that are curious about the build differences between White's, and mass produced boots like Red Wing, this pic should give you an idea:

thanks for the pic riff!

My SD's have been delayed coming back from their resoling until next week, they had to order the soles in 

I really miss my SD's

last night:

"Hey man,  these are too big for me.  I think they might fit you.  try em on."

Hands me a pair of beautifully broken in White's Semi Dress boots.

I try em on, they fit like a glove.

"Cool.  Take em home.  I don't need em."

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!!

[Jordan23]

Nice Friends you have!

[eyeq8402]

^ that is so awesome riff! Great friends and a nice pair of whites!!

[Megatron1505]

Riff, you have the best friends. Those boots look amazing 

My SD's arrive back from resoling tomorrow, and I am captain excited 

[hectic]

Nice, Riff.

BTW: I placed my order 3 weeks ago. Should I start getting twitchy?

[riffblaster general]

i seriously could not believe it.

[Megatron1505]

I ordered mine a day after you Hec, the current build time from Whites is 6 - 8 weeks…..plenty of time before the twitching hour.

riff you must have some good karma going, great story & a not so bad looking pair of boots.  that makes me think about not pampering my leather goods so much.

[ronaldlsh]

Nice aging on the boots! Great friend you have there!!!

those need polish. Shoes tell so much about the wearer. Badly maintained boots vs. well taken care of…

[Megatron1505]

The pics make me remember why I love SD's. They look equally amazing pampered or worn hard, they really are the ultimate utility boots.

[riffblaster general]

I like the look of a beat up pair of boots.  It means they were used for their intended purpose.  Much like denim.  I probably will oil them before winter though.  I'm really liking these.

They look sic Riff. I just won two pair of Whites on eBay, hopefully they fit when I get them.

Why do you guys actually find white's that fit you on ebay?! Curses

Haha. Well I've only tried on the Semi-Dress and the 8.5D fit me well with thick socks. I got SmokeJumpers in 8.5 and Outdoorsman(lace to toe, more flexibility in the toe box) in 8. I don't think I'm THAT far off. You just never really know until they're on your feet. Also, when youre paying 25-40% of the retail price I think you have room to take risks.
