White's Boots
-
what leathers are used in this build?
-
Two more pictures in natural light, that do them better justice.

i have that same exact "issue" with the right shoe as you do. Hows your fit? (…)
The fit in mine is fine. It is slightly narrower than the various other 9E-boots I have from White's, but still good and within acceptable variety. I am also fine with the tongue and can't feel the laces cutting through. I do feel the seam of the tongue, but that also isn't a problem. As for the slight imbalance, I measured it up and the tip of the wing on the outside of the right shoe is 5mm higher on the shoe, the inner is exactly symmetric with the left inner. I guess they align those and then just sew the upper leather bit on.
btw. for reference, this is what I would consider a comparable setup from Viberg:

I have these being made at the mo, I loved Ed's so much….
Same here! Those actually started my obsession with White's and I also got the same setup, only with a Vibram 100R sole and only one midsole, since I use them in the snow.

Silly question my Whites SD in black dress leather seem as if when scuffed they are showing brown? Same is happening to my IHB-02. Is the leather brown and dyed black?

http://www.superdenim.co.uk/prodpage.asp?productid=1936I just have too much slop in the heel. Kyle @ Bakers will be sending them to get a heel clamp installed, so I wont have to deal with a rebuild. Props to him for helping me out. I love the oxfords so much though, so comfortable once they break in a bit and start flexing. We need to establish an Oxford Mafia. So far its you, Mega and myself. Maybe Seul will get jumped in at some point ::)

My oxfords have just been polished and made pretty for the wifes birthday meal on Saturday night

you should wear your new SJ's

True, plus my wife hates them :o
She has no taste, which is fairly obvious
-
He'd have to take 'm off before the meal cause they won't fit under the table…
And dancing might turn into a drag…
-
More like a stomp, I'm wearing them right now at work, and when I came down the office status this morning the receptionist said to me "bloody hell, I thought there were 5 of you coming down with all that noise".
-
Are you sure it's safe to wear those boots at work Megs?
With some IH666 denim he would have made it to the ground floor.
