      The simple answer is their brown dress leather, tough, durable, and evolves great. My SD's are coming up to 4 years old, have seen plenty of wear, and still look great.

          Anyone know if White's sells replacement laces or if you've found anything similar. Mine have started to fray from the speedhooks.

              I can post some up on Sunday, but I am away until then. Google should turn out some pretty nice pics though.

                  Nice boot. Not a big fan of how the midsole tapers to such a thin point, though.

                    Not sure I understand what you mean by mid sole shaping into a point.  you mean the shape of the toebox?  Its anything but pointy

                      The leather that runs from the back heel to the toe end of the boot, is what I was referring to. Sorry for being confusing.

                      I just prefer a thicker midsole, I guess…

                      Edit: Something like this

                        I gotcha.  Whites has an option to double the mid sole i believe.  I did a half composite, might go for a full sole when it comes time to resole them.

                          Thanks spacegnome!

                          I guess regular smooth dress brown is the way to go 🙂

                              Was not aware it was yours.  Apologies. Just happened to be one of the first results on google images… I can remove it if you wish.

                                Hmm, after looking at the different leather patches at white's webpage, the dress brown is very close to black, not a traditional "brown" really, I'm leaning a bit towards the distressed brown, which is lighter, but is this leather treated with anything that makes it less durable? anyone tried that leather?

                                        its really dark.  When I was deciding on my leather, I was going between Dress brown, dress black and black chromexcel.  The dress leathers were more scratch resistant, and seemed a bit more durable, but they lacked character.  That might have changed over time, but they just seemed ordinary when new.  Thats why I went with cxl.  its a tough leather, but it seems to be more adaptive, and take on characteristics quicker and easier.  If I was buying Whites for a pure utility work boot, I probably would not go with cxl.
