White's Boots
-
'got standard [Cuban] heels on my SJs & Packers__ the SDs are on block heels w/c were 1/4" lowered.
the "drag" is not so pronounced on a lowered block..
however, quite honestly, the Cuban walks more comfortably & gives a more normal, solid gait.
'agree that the boots were originally designed/engineered for the Cuban__ "arc-ease" is optimized, imo.actually, i only tried the block to personally experience the difference__ the plan was to get them tapered once i re-heel.

lowered block heel with double leather sole on my SD's. -
PS: here is some heel comparison from other White's I have had on the way:
standard height block heel on the Bounty Hunter
Different cuban heel heights depending on the model and number of midsoles (one or two. Triple is also possible)
Sole options
From left to right: Farmer/Rancher in red dog with a double leather midsole, Smoke Jumpers and Packer's Boots, both with single mid soles. -

Thanks guys! Here is today's boot in super comfortable chromexel:
They are heavy and bomb proof, but I have taken them even on city travels with many miles of walking per day and I can nothing but praise them. Absolutely amazing piece of footwear! -
A bit more than a year, but I only wear them in fall/winter and there are 2-3 other pairs for that time. The heels did get some wear, but you can't tell from the picture.

My exact thoughts last night. I might even sell my Vibergs to fund this notion. There's two custom make ups I want soo fucking bad.

If you're thinking of getting rid of your 4HVBs… PM me...I'm in love with them.

Edit: scratch that, I thought our sizes were closer. I'll never fit 'em.

Yeah they wont fit you. They're 8.5
I'll probably get rid of the IHVB first anyways.

trying to join the white club but havent heard back from a style forum user
Ah… I saw that awesome deal too and thought about them for a minute but I was worried about the size... I wear a 12.5 in my White's Outdoorsman boots just fine but the 12.5 in the SD would most likely be a full size too big for me. Good luck!

These are not mine unfortunately, but I really like them:
