White's Boots

[hectic]

Great, Mega, awesome for you. Do a boot + leg shot when you get a min yeah?

[Finn666]

oh fekk

@Giles:

To give you a sense of scale….

Boots + Denim

[CLJ]

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

[Finn666]

looking good mega…not really my cup of tea (colour- and leatherwise!) but they should be pretty damn good to kick some ass!

[hectic]

The sole is mental, how tall are you now?

[urbanwoodsman]

Love the way they look here

Not as tall as you still J

Those boots are completely over the top.

But I dread to think what they'd be like in my size, UK 13 / US 14 / EU 48. I don't think there'd be a truck big enough to deliver them…

They'd also make me about 15 feet tall.

[SpaceGnome]

im really surprised that the weight didnt put you off initially.  I expected these to be able to do double duty as boat anchors…

[Moonshine]

Like you stated, not as OTT as expected.  Good stuff!

thanks man

Looking forward to seeing you HH SD's Lucifer 

Love the cap toe, not so keen on the block heel, but it's all personal preference.

On a downside, I just realised that I can't take my SJ's to New York. They would be a nightmare to take on and off for customs, and far too heavy for the case, especially as I'm picking up some more big boots from Urb whilst in NY 

[SpaceGnome]

haha, yea, that would be a PITA to deal with for security.

on a personal note, my oxfords will be going back to White's to get sized down .5.  They are just too loose as is, and I get serious pain if I lace them snug to get rid of the heel slippage.

[Megatron1505]

That sucks man, it took me ages to figure out my "correct" Whites size. I'm a true UK 10, so first off I tired an 11, too loose, then a 10.5 which was ok but still a little loose. My actual perfect size in Whites is a 9.5, and I have absolutely no idea why  :-\

I also just purchased some second hand Hathorn Northwests in an 11, which I am hoping to pad out with thick socks for winter….or give to my cousin for Christmas
