                      I actually really like them.  I always get turned off by these shit kicker boots when they are just sitting there, but once they are on they look great.  Those will last you a very long time.

                      At least when the world ends you wont have top worry about footwear.  🙂

                      You and Mega should have a boot photo battle.  Walk through lava, over cars and kick down some doors and document the experience here!

                        I like that idea, and will spend a portion of this weekend looking for things to destroy with my boots.

                          haha we'd probably break everything we step on… and that's not a good thing here in Singapore where I am.. not planning on going to jail anytime soon

                            lol just looked into my boots today and realized they don't come with insoles…. should i get insoles? or will the leather base get fitted to my feet? it felt as if i was walking on rocks yesterday

                              If they fit, don't get insoles.  The leather will gradually mold to your foot over time.

                                were you walking on rocks? I have had two pair of White's with that sole, and I couldn't feel anything through that thick rubber. It was over kill once I stopped working in them, and felt ridiculous walking around town in them.

                                those are good looking boots, and I think a single leather sole/half sole version would look great to.

                                  SS:  The leather base will get fitted to your feet.  From my experience, expect about 100 wears until they are broken in properly.

                                    no on pavement. i meant the sole felt like rocks.

                                      Just keep wearing them and try to not think about it.  One day you'll wake up and they'll feel perfect.

                                          About insole….

                                          I always get those thin leather/cork insoles if my boots come without ones. So SS you might wanna try those. I use them mainly to "protect" the boot from sweat/moisture from feets. Easier and faster to dry the insoles than whole boot...

                                            Honestly, if White's were meant to be worn with insoles, they would have provided them.  No need unless you want to fill a bit of the room up or have other issues.  The arch support took me a bit to get used to but now its not even noticeable.  The leather footbed will mold to your foot, but it will take a while for that to happen..  Just wear them, easy at first, and gradually increase the time.
