White's Boots
-
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 (3) is quite noticeably wider across the toe; the 461 Last has the "sprung toe," or turned up like the old style work boot that they'd pull of the lake in the cartoons… I think the 461 looks very cool, but it is pretty noticeably turned up.
Here are comparative pics in a link from another forum:

Salami, that "cracking" is normal. If you feel the need, hit it with Obenaufs or tsomething similar, but its not really necessary.

No man haven't had the priveledge to see alot of whites in person..

from my experience the buffalo uppers are actually rather soft and need no breaking in and the soles of this thickness will never get soft anyway. You just take advantage of the rocking sensation, but don't expect them to soften.
My standard leather SJ's are still very rigid despite some heavy abuse and are best worn laced only half way up. the (Armageddon) buffalo SJ's i got from mecha are very soft in comparison. -
Those heels look huge. You must get almost 2" of lift out of them. Won't be wearing those down in a hurry!
