White's Boots

[Megatron1505]

Now that is cool, being able to compare the profile of the Work Boot and the SD. They look more similar than I expected for some reason.

I concede hectic I like yours much better lol

[derivative666]

Thanks Mega! because of you I bought these.

[Megatron1505]

I can't pick a winner, both great.

[Giles]

I just spent the last 5 mins scrolling up and down…No winner.....

[derivative666]

I love the cap toe and block heel

[hectic]

The SD has a certain formality (even dandyness perhaps) that the work boot lacks. I'm a sucker for a toe cap so it was a no brainer for me. Both great though.

[Megatron1505]

I resolve to use the word dandyness as often as possible from now on

man, i keep coming back to this image.  sexy.  How has the break in been?  My boots on order are pretty close in build specs as yours, except they are Smoke Jumpers, 8" and the BH last.

Dude, very little discomfort. They are quite roomy in the toe box (compared to RW iron ranger if that helps).

Looks like i need my second pair of white's. In black!

Beautiful pair there hectic…

[demonito]

what is a farmer-rancher from whites boots? is it a smoke jumper? or a bounty hunter?

[ronaldlsh]

Someone please enlighten me too. What are the differences between farmer rancher, smoke jumper, bounty hunter, work boot, and semi dress. They look relatively similar to me.

[SpaceGnome]

As far as I know, the bounty hunter is a last, so there isnt a specific bounty hunter model, per se.  You can have a semi dress built with bounty hunter last, swing last, standard etc…  The Bounty hunter might be considered the "standard last" in the semi dress line though, but I cant confirm that.  It gets confusing.  Smoke jumper is also a model, and you have other options as far as design goes, like height etc...The Semi Dress is a static 5" height.  I think the work boot is basically the Smoke jumper, but with a block heel, and maybe a specific last, but Im not sure.  This is how I understand it at least, Im sure there are others who can be more specific.

@Dirty:

Love these things Hathorn Rainier

Yep, I'm feeling those too!  But I've got my new Wesco Jobmasters on right now for their 2nd wear so I'm in the mood!

[Megatron1505]

I have a pair of those in black cxl, and they are the best casual shoe I have owned.

Oxford for casual
SD's for smart
Wolverines for work

[SpaceGnome]

the most glorious e-mail showed up in my inbox today.  The UPS tracking info for my Whites boots.  Let the real wait begin.

[hectic]

Nice one, Gnome. Look forward to seeing pics.

[SpaceGnome]

an extremely long 8 weeks came to a close this morning.  Better quality pics and fit pics this weekend.  Fit is spot on, the -1/4" heel makes the arch fucking perfect.
