Yes, black CXL Smoke Jumpers. It was a gift, I'm not gonna complain one bit! Hell, I'm lucky she got the sizing right cause I think sale items are non-returnable

[derivative666]

She is a keeper!!!!

Got these on eBay for a steal and had them rebuilt with a lowered heel and vibram honey lug sole.

[Megatron1505]

I actually really like them, the honey lug sole really suits them.

[gratefulmelon]

Thanks Megatron, I was very pleased with the rebuild. It was like having a new pair of boots built for only $200. I believe I'll go with a lower profile sole on my next pair though. These are a little chunky.

Not the email you want to get 9 weeks in:

"It was damaged during making it and they had to re-make one shoe.  I will check the status and get back with you"

I like the combination a lot! Someone should try a ripple sole on one of those eventually

If I'm a 10.5 for the Viberg Bobcats, 11 for converse chucks. what size should I go for White's(or even Aldens?)

cheers

[Megatron1505]

Same as Viberg in my opinion, Whites fit is BIG.

What sort of Whites are you looking for man?

[orlylow]

Probably the semi-dress. Is it any possible to get a heel of a lower height on the SD at all? Or do I have to custom it in this case?

The toecap of my Bobcats hurts my feet a little…

[SpaceGnome]

yo ucan get the heel lowered by 1/4 of an inch by Whites.  Probably more at a local cobbler.  FWIW, my heel is lowered and I plan on getting a normal height put on when it comes time for a resole

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, I'm no fan of the lowered heel either. Also, Whites feel very different on your feet to Vibergs, if you have a high instep you will probably find Whites more comfortable in my opinion.

[nicecrackaction]

I own low and high heeled White's and a low-heeled semi-dress in particular and must say I like the looks and how it wears very much, even though it is not as "classic"-White's.

Some different heel heights, depending on sole configuration in some of my others:
