    @astrogoji:

    Those look awesome–is that brown cxl?

    Thanks!
    they are brown smooth/oiled leather, with a coat of obenauf's LP.
    they looked close to brown cxl don't they?

      CertifiedInsane, they look great! dress brown always appears so dark to me as I very much like the true brown color.  Should age beautifully  😘

          Those look like my Navy Vibergs G-San is getting built for me.

          And your Vibergs will be cheaper; if my math is correct, those navy White's are over $1000.  Yikes.

            I'm doing them with the red danite sole. Pretty stoked.

              bahahaha

              Just had to correct this.

              If those are just standard White's Navy Chromexcel 5" Semi-Dress Boots then they cost $389.95 in the US if you get them from Baker's. Which I'm assuming is less than half of what custom IH/Viberg boots will probably run.

              Once these White's/Wescos/Vibergs/Etc. get to the Asian market the price triples for some reason.

                Yup…that's about half 🙂

                  Yeah, all I did was convert the yen to dollars.  I know White's aren't anywhere near that expensive for us in the US.  I didn't bother to check and see if it was possible to do that exact build, or if it was some Japanese market exclusive.  Nonetheless, I won't be buying a pair any time soon.  I've got two pairs of boots coming my way before the end of the year, so I'm done for a while.

                        the fifth of those i keep, the ninth also counting those i've sold. meanwhile all other shoes just feel like they have no footbed support whatsoever. My RW's especially, but also my Wesco boots.

                                          Shane, the black CXL is really nice and soft. It'll make for a comfortable boot almost right out of the box. That being said, I think you made the right choice with the counter. The black smooth seems to be way more robust than the CXL.  Can't wait to see your new boots!
