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.

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.
