White's Boots

[davito]

@Dirty:

God would I love that store to be local to me.  I'm itching for a boot shop like that.  Anyone know of a place that stocks whites in the NYC area?  I would love to try some on.  I'm thinking either a pair of semi dress whites or a pair of Viberg service boots.  What do u guys think would be a better buy?

Sal buy those you feel comfortable with. Best is always trying on in person. Good luck

Still got that itch for some rough out Oxfords…

EastWestApparel's opening it's electronic doors just after Xmas Seul and would be happy to price up a build a boot Oxford for you in the meantime if the itch needs a proper scratch

[Seul]

The itch can't afford any kind of scratch right now… But probably will be buying from you somewhere in 2k13...

Looking forward for the opening as well..

[EastWest]

Ah it's tough having a purchase in mind that you have to be good about!

Haha thank you! I'm glad I made 1 good choice on this boots then!! Haha

I've been having cracks on my leather midsoles.. are those normal? I applied a coat of obernauf but to no avail they are still turning lighter and cracking….... Should I put on more? Or leave it?

[Chris]

Pics of said cracking?  Probably not a big deal, but that's just a guess…

for me obenaufs are not so good i suggest you use pecards. use a heat gun or a blow dryer and heat up the part of the boots you need to moisturize and then  put pecards  and then heat it up a bit youll see the difference

whites actually use pecards!

What do you use from Pecards? Boot Oil or the Leather Dressing?

[demonito]

leather dressing.  the standard one  in the tub. used it for the past 7 years pretty happy. from calf to cow to goat to horse

[demonito]

second one down says Obenaufs right under the product name.  They also sell branded Pecards

[demonito]

oh ok as far as i know  ( bill formerly of stronghold and  steve marrow whites agent)  said that they use pecards well that was way back  2006.
