Honestly, they're alright, nothing special but they look ok.

Considering it, never tried roughout boots before, would be nice to try something not-very-expensive the first time to see if I can pull it off

some jaw-dropping White Klouds:

[Megatron1505]

Those are stunning, I would love to get some White Klouds, the only thing stopping me is that they cost roughly the same as a three bedroom, semi detached house 

[Moonshine]

Wow!  Those WK boots are shelf-worthy!  I wouldn't want to wear them and mess them up!

[supersalami]

wow.. those white klouds are fekkin insane

Just reading a thread on vintage hiking boots over at Trailspace.

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

The White Klouds look fantastic, though probably not my thing.

[BrownIcon]

IMO,  it's japanese aesthetics.  one can't appreciate the artistry & craftsmanship that goes into each pair,  if you look at it just from a "western" point of view.

i see it as "next level" shit__ a more dressier SemiDress. 
a cosmopolitan take on an iconic  "work boots" from a japanese vernacular.
a jap twist,  if you may,

if you think about it,  [they] don't even wear White's [nor jap jeans] the same way the west does

[Graeme]

I can appreciate the workmanship, and the attention to detail on the White Klouds is absolutely insane.

I'm not a fan of some of the more exaggerated Whites builds, and the White Klouds are a step beyond that. That said, I do like the green pair.

[SpaceGnome]

I think those White Klouds are beautiful, but I cant get behind that uber high polished heel, it almost looks like polyurethane or some other plastic coating.

[thomasnunnally]

That polished heel is crazy!

[Giles]

I spend my life lusting.  Lusting has just upped a notch - polished heel or not…..

[joesaintjohn]

I second Gs thoughts. Green. Beautiful.

[Friday]

@G-San…

Not polished, just because you'll probably put them for display if its polished.. Beautifullllll......

[Giles]

I am def going to try and hunt some of these down, just for a look (of course), when I am next in Tokyo….

[Graeme]

What are the chances that G doesn't order up a pair?

Yours truly getting a fitting by Goto-san (aka Mr. White Kloud) at Mushmans last weekend.

Not planning on getting anything at the moment, but Goto-san is willing to build a new custom last for my large feet.
