White's Boots

[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]

[demonito]

dont get drunk and mistake it for ice cream….

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.

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)…

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.

FurattoHeddo, I'm interested in hearing what Bakers has to say about the lasts.  I'm looking at snagging a pair of horsehide semi dress too….

when i stand on a brannock, i am right on the line at 10.  I usually buy 10.5 athletic shoes because of this.  That said, I am a 10 in whites and I still have room.  Not too much but enough.

So who feels brave?

On sale at Bakers.

[Giles]

On sale.  Really?

[Chris]

Largest size is 8.5, so you're out of luck, Giles.

Be interested to see a like and dis-like vote on the above.  Excuse the FB terminology!

[SpaceGnome]

what in the hell kind of leather is that?  Looks endangered or something

[Chris]

Looks like a sueded bison, but I'm not positive about that.

[CertifiedInsane]
