White's Boots

more shoe spam.  I promise better quality pics soon.  Id say the last two pics do the color the most justice.

[SpaceGnome]

had a fit pic as well, but I screwed up the focus…
The color is pretty true in the three pics below.

Today for work I am wearing an old pair of Nike SB Dunk Lo, I am doing this because they are very lightweight and I am anticipating the arrival of my new HEAVY boots today. Giving my feet a rest while I can.

This should be big enough.

But it'll have to do another trip for the left boot…

I now have them laced, and on my feet. I have chosen to use the leather laces, and dispense with the kilties for my initial wears, all I have done is walked a couple of laps around my house in them, so these literally are my very first impressions.

Weight - Really surprised, they feel about the same as my old SD's.

Quality - The attention to detail, and finish is nothing short of beautiful. Although they have a double leather sole, rather than triple leather, I think that I misunderstood the listing description maybe.

Leather - Another surprise, I expected bull hide to be thick, course, and rigid. It is not as thick as the CXL on my Oxfords, it does have a course texture, but it is extremely soft and pliable.

Comfort - My initial impressions are very favourable. I felt some slight rubbing on the top of my foot when I tried them without laces, but lacing them fully appears to have taken that away. The soft leather liner really makes a difference, I will choose this option on all future Whites.

Looks - This is strictly an opinion, based on my own taste, but they are nowhere near as OTT as I was expecting from the ebay pictures, they really are quite subtle to what I was expecting. They are definitely my taste, and look great with denim.

So far, so good…

Boots + Denim

Pretty ballsy combination and they look great. I'm sure they'll look even better a few years from now.
