      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.
          http://www.bakershoe.com/shop-by-brand.cfm/brand/whites-boots/product/custom-semi-dress-by-whites-boots/

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

              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.

                                    I don't ride a motorcycle or work construction so I went for Chromexcel. I got the heel counter made of black smooth though, to help the life of the 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!

                                        Yeah I can't wait. I have Alden Indys in Brown CXL and they are extremely comfortable. The CXL on the Aldens isn't nearly as thick as White's or as well supported. But I did notice on my Aldens that the heel had a lot of scuffing and nicks, so that's why I went with the black smooth.

                                          Nice make-up. You're exactly right about the heel. Heel on my cxl Alden's is also beat up pretty bad.
                                          But, why the block heel?

                                            Looks.

                                            I had to email Kyle to see if I could get them, wasn't an option on the site. But I'm sure it will be fine.

                                            I have a block heel on my Aldens and Vibergs as well.
