      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!

                alright Mega, I need to pick your brain one more time.  How heavy are these compared to your SD's?  Compared to the SD's ( yours are single leather sole, right?) , how flexible is the sole, if you were to grab it by the toe and flex it?  The only reason I ask this, is because I have a 2021 sole on a pair of Redwings and its rather stiff, and Im not sure why…Do you get any heel slippage?  Thanks man, Im right on the edge of an order of red dog roughouts......

                  They are probably just over half as heavy as my SD's (I had a thick Vibram sole added to my SD's), the Oxfords are a little more flexible, and forgiving than the SD's, and yes I get a bit of heel slippage, but that is because I screwed my sizing up. These shoes definitely fit on the large side, I am a true UK 10, my SD's are a US 9.5 and fit perfectly, my Oxfords are a US 10.5 (the size I should be), and they are around half a size too big, but nothing that greatly bothers me.

                    so if you ordered them the same exact size as your SD's, you think it would be the money fit?

                      Yup, I think I should have matched. I read someone else say that the oxfords fitted smaller than the SD's, and I followed their advice. I have since learned that this person does not own the oxfords, or the SD's …..so was perhaps not best qualified to comment.

                              Most of the boot is HH, with the exception of toe cap and heel stay, I believe.  Not mine, but a good indication…

                                    The color of the brown horsehide has lots of depth.

                                      sorry i've asked so many times.. but i'm still really lost on what leathers to get. i'm looking for a brown leather that can take alot of beating and will still remain beautifully brown.

                                        Do you want it to remain more new looking or age over time?

                                          i guess age. but i'm not sure if it could hold up with my usage. my red wing 9111s are covered in scratches from daily activities.. and i'm not the most careful with my shoes.

                                            I think the dress leather is the best over time. As far as what can take a beating the best? Anyone?
