White's Boots

[tmg]

Smitten as I am with G's two tone Smoke Jumpers, this shot almost has me reconsidering my plans, they're superb!

[Lucifer]

I agree, naturally

Last pic of them in a while, I promise:

The double midsole with the block heel and half comp outsole is balanced very well on a visual level. I like.  I think the double midsole makes the block heel work.  Usually I find the block heel to look out of place with the standard single midsole.

Yeah, wish I had gone for double mid-sole.

@hectic:

Yeah, wish I had gone for double mid-sole.

I might have a double put on when I get mine resoled.

[hectic]

Oh yeah, rebuilds, of course. Mild hassle from the UK but better than using a cobbler here…..

Trust me, I know what a true statement that is man 

[SpaceGnome]

Mega, you have a double midsole on your armageddon boots right?  I know the outsole is pretty chunky but do you think the double midsole makes it super stiff?  Im wondering how a double sole breaks in over time…

[Megatron1505]

Those have a double midsole, and have some William Lennons with a triple leather sole, and to be honest I don't find either particularly stiff.

…some William Lennons with a triple leather sole...

Those the ones you got from me?  If so, they were significantly more stiff when new.

This thread needs to redneckognize!  Here are my White's Outdoorsman paired with Levi's STF 501.  The only thing I don't like about them is that the grain of the Red Dog leather hides the White's stamp, but worse things could happen!

Been in touch with everybody's favorite White's dealer.  He says, "If anyone is interested in getting fitted into White’s Boots, Kyle of Baker’s Shoes will be in the Los Angeles area Monday November 12th – Please email orders@bakershoe.com if you’d like to set up an appointment. Location TBA.”

Anyone into it?

[SpaceGnome]

if i lived in LA I would absolutely do it.  A proper measurement can save you a million headaches.

Thanks for breaking them in then

What Lennon boots have you got Megs? And how does the sizing compare with your regular UK shoe size?

I've got a pair of their WW1 boots on order as I'm currently running desperately short of footwear. I'm a bit nervous that they won't fit properly.

[Megatron1505]

I have the Derby Boots, the sizing is pretty standard to UK shoes/ boots, the build quality is extremely good.

[Chris]

Agreed; William Lennon boots are an excellent value, especially for UK buyers, since shipping is free for you guys.
