White's Boots

Demonito/ Ed doesn't rate CXL, but he is a serious biker, and does construction work also, so his boots do have to be tough as hardened shit.
I wound never even consider wearing anything other than a proper motorcycle boot when biking. Ive gone down hard a few times on my bike, and the first time I was wearing an engineer type of boot and they got ripped right off. The last 2 times were track related, and proper boots did their job and stayed where they needed to be. I cant speak on construction, but I could see why CXL would not be the best choice for construction boots.

Very, very nice Mega, I like those even more now I've seen your pics! Mind if I ask what size you ended up going with, and how they compare fit-wise to both your Smoke Jumpers and SD's? Also, thanks for posting the costs, but did you also get stung for import duty and 'administration' charges?
Seriously considering a pair of these in the red dog rough out

Viberg Oxfords sold on Superdenim UK are made from CXL, are you saying that Brett claims to make his shoes out of crap leather? Not the best advertising

what is CXL?
-
Thats the type of leather ?

@Dirty:
Thats the type of leather ?
Correct
-
Ok got it

LOL at calling CXL shit. I can understand how it would not be the best leather for a work boot in a work boot required environment. How it cant handle a Harley ride is beyond me. Care to elaborate as to why its not a good casual boot leather?

HI MEGA YOUR WISE THAN WHAT YOU SAID. IMS URE YOU KNOW PEOPLE DEMAND MANUFACTURERS JUST GIVE. THEYRE CRAP PERIOD . ITS NOT ABOUT VIBERG, WHITES, O ANY OTHER BOOT COMPANY . LEATHER IS FROM HORWEEN TELL EM THAT.
I DID A REVIEW PLEASE READ IT AND NOW YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

The dress leather on my SD's is still in really good condition after a couple of years wear, so the CXL on the oxfords will make a good comparison for me personally. I just hear so much more good things said about CXL than bad, so people must like it for some reason, I must admit though that if I were going for my dream make up Bounty Hunters that I keep threatening to order, it would be Bullhide and Dress Leather all the way.
Could you link me to your review please Ed?

one more thing. how many of you people have cxl leather in their boot for more than 3 years?
Lots of Aldens floating around in CXL that have been around for extended periods of time.

Would like to order the Baker's Oxford (model # 64OX).
http://www.bakershoe.com/search.cfm/product/bakers-oxford/
They have two different oxfords on their site. The oxford linked above has more options in general, but less options for leather. It is limited to combinations of smooth or rough out for chocolate, black, walnut, or red dog. I know what the others look like, but does anybody have any experience with, or pics of, walnut?
