White's 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.

@Chiba:
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.
-
That cuban heel might look a little funny, but once you get used to it, it's awesome! I absolutely love all of my boots with the cuban heel. My Aldens are pretty effed up on the heel as well. So much that the stitching has been worn away. They are in desperate need of repair.
-
Yeah I'm just not a fan. Reminds me of cowboy boots.
Maybe I'll try them on my next pair.
-
Looking forward to seeing these Shane, the make up looks very solid. Love the two tone of black and natural, if I ordered again I would do exactly the same, maybe with a double midsole and different toe leather.
-
thats what i wanna do next or all brown not sure, i think we talked about that last time you were in town
All Natural CXL will be my next pair. Just not sure whether I want 8" or oxfords.
-
Um yes.
-
Hell yay or is it hell yes..either way those are so good
-
Yay
-
YAY OR NAY?
This should not even be a question. Even I like them, and I don't do lace to toe, roughout, or black boots…
-
After owning some Viberg black roughouts it definitely gave me a new appreciation for the clean look of roughouts.
I'd suggest a custom pair and get a black edge. All blacked out. That's my second in line for custom boots.
-
WHITE'S SJ LACE TO TOE.
BLACK ROUGHOUT.
VIBRAM 100.YAY OR NAY?
Just want to hear other opinions about this. I say YAY.
It's a yay, next lot of stock boots will have to include the rough out!
-
nice build. I have actually been kicking arund the idea of having my heel counters replaced with black smooth for the very reason you are having it done. Ill be interested to see how these look.
