brown dress is really nice! better than cxl or other leather for me.

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.

demonito

this is how much i love pecard so much

supersalami

Wow that's a big tub of leather dressing!! Where do I get it from?

demonito

directly from pecard!

demonito

i have a couple of small tubs here with me if you want it

SpaceGnome

Thinking about ordering my first pair of White's, and will probably order a pair of horse hide semi dress, can anyone explain the difference(s) in the available lasts (standard, swing, 38)? Send a mail to Bakers, but maybe someone here knows? Thanks.

unharmed

The swing last supposedly has a little more room across the toe box than the statndard which is why I've ordered it on my SJs. the 38 I don't know about.

FurattoHeddo

Seems I fecked up 38 is the same as swing last, I meant 461 classic last (damn copy pasting feckups)…

Chris

Also considering my first pair of White's. And as much as I hate asking this type of question, can I get a size recommendation? I'm a size 10 in Viberg and an 11 in athletic shoes (Mizuno, Nike, PF Flyers, New Balance).

So, size 11 for the swing last, do you think? Any help is appreciated.
