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

        http://www.trailspace.com/forums/gear-selection/topics/101404.html

        Some people have way too much time on their hands. 🙂

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

          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

            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. 🙂

              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.

                That polished heel is crazy!

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

                            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.

                                Chiba, are you the guy who posted about the very tasty Rainbow Country jackets at the Fedora Lounge?

                                If so, you really should put some pictures up here, and do your bit to help Japan's balance of trade. 😃

                                  That's me. I'll try and post some pics in the Leather Jacket thread. Not sure if it'll help the national economy, but damn there are a lot of nice jackets being produced here!

                                  I'm planning an interview with Goto-san of White Kloud. If any one has any Q's they'd like me to lay on him, PM me.

                                    ^hey, Chiba [aka Kashiwa(?)]__ tnx for sharing your "leather" enthusiasm.  LUVed those Motos & recently WK.

                                    peeps seem to misread pure admiration with ownership.
                                    tho i loved any of those pairs i posted,  i don't have the "lifestyle" to justify wearing them.
                                    i don't have the fund,  nor the time to wait on an MTO.

                                    for me, WK is my GG [Gaziono Girling] … since i'm not really a dress shoes kinda guy. 😉

                                      What type of product would be best to use on suede?
                                      Just to avoid water staining, but without 'sealing' it, silicone free o.c.
