White's Boots

[SpaceGnome]

Im not surprised in the least to be honest.  It seems that if you build kick ass stuff, its a prerequisite to have an out dated web site, LOL.  White's web site is like a time machine back to the beginning of the internet.  But they build great boots, not flash websites right?   I just passed 4 weeks for my order.  Im hoping to have them a bit broken in by the time i go to Chicago at the beginning of June. Gonna try and scam a Horween factory tour while Im there.  Fingers crossed.

Oh yeah!  That would be awesome!  You'll probably smell like top-shelf leather for weeks after going in there!

Holy fucking shit snacks, USPS tracking is doing my head in - my boots appear to have taken up residency in San Francisco.

Mega did your shipping include tracking all way across the pond?

[Megatron1505]

It certainly did, and mine didn't get stuck anywhere. They arrived 4 days after I got notification.

Definitely not a bad place for them to be. Although, safety is definitely a concern. Jk, I am sure they will be in NY soon. What size are you again?

ha! I'm sasquatch - no good for you ;p

Where did you order from to get horse hide as an option?

[Chponglasia]

http://www.bakershoe.com/  They're fantastic.

[SpaceGnome]

Nice build.

[Keyfour]

Ahh, for some reason horse hide isn't available from white's or buildaboot but is on bakershoe. Thanks!

I'm looking at an identical build and was ready to press the button when I stumbled across these beauties and now I can't decide if I want a toecap or not. Decisions, decisions.

Toe cap!  IMO, the cap makes the SD boot special!

quite disturb with whats happening to my lw engineers with cxl leather

see the "maps" starting to come out form the leather? i just thought its just caked oil and dirt

but after cleaning it  its till there

cracks

more crease crack

more mappings

applied neatsfoot " horween sys that cxl methid uses neatsfoot on its last coating thats why it being really oily so its best to use neatsfoot on cxl leathers

Unfortunately, too small for me. But Figured I'd take some pics before I sell them off.
