              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.

                                            same build up as my 4 year old jumpers

                                            I think your boots below are the reason I got into this whole White's madness with a total of eight pairs so far (sold a few, bought some others, am pretty stable at the moment).

                                            is that a complement? or something else? hahha i wanna se eyour collection!
