      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.

                                That's what happens with "collabs."

                                  Good point on the collab.  Although I personally would not go for a collab if it didnt offer anything different or unique.  Those are just run of the mill While's with a brand stamped on the insole.  Awesome boots, nonetheless, but I dont see the value in $200 mark up.  But, if you would have asked me at week 3 if I would want to pay an extra $200 to get them in a few days, I might have been singing a different song
