                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

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

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

                        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.

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

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

                                What sort of Whites are you looking for man?

                                  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…

                                    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

                                      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.

                                        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:

                                          has anyone got the added height ones? i'm a pretty short asian guy and i need shoes that give me that extra height to look normal.. not sure if white's with added height will look too … weird

                                            its only going to give you 1/4" in additional height.  Plus, I think it would look kinda platform-ish on a street boot.  I say stick to the traditional heel height, its hard to go wrong there.
