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
-
She is a keeper!!!!

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.

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
-
Same as Viberg in my opinion, Whites fit is BIG.
What sort of Whites are you looking for man?
-
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:
-
-
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!
