          How do you specify that you want the rubber outersole to continue at the arch from the front to the back like it shows here. I thought it was called the Half Slip, but apparently not? A lot of White's boots I see rubber on just the heel and the front, but not always the arch.

          Also, has there been a post of the Bounty Hunter with a medallion captoe on an SD last? Couldn't find a pic searching through the thread.

            Page 98, second pic down is a SJ/ BH medallion cap toe on the SD last.

              the sole bit is easy. just don't go for the composition half-sole. all other options go from front to back.

                supersalami I believe my rising sun is made from french calf leather. I love it because its different from the ones I have in my Vibergs and softer from the beginning.

                how do they fare against a little scuffing? i've been told they're really thin and delicate.. I'm afraid they won't hold up when I use them and get fecked real fast and bad 😞

                    Best is you try one on. VMC Roger's linesman julian boot looks actually pretty nice scuffed and used. I am not babying my shoes but also do not unnecessarly mess up a shoe in this price category. I think the leather holds up pretty well in my everyday life. And I like the elegant touch of the leather. Suggest to contact demonito he has a lot of knowledge.

                    Cheers,

                          since it appears that the hopes of getting 4 people to agree on the same viberg has fell off into the abyss, and I am in desperate need of another pair of boots to give my indys a break once in a while…. I believe I may  be investing in a pair of white's. Thinking somehting similar to what is 2 posts up ^ 🙂

                              Just checking, for the average 6" bounty hunters with plain toes how long would the laces be? Thinking of getting myself a few pairs of laces

                                Has anyone done a Whites build with steel toes? I'm hesitant to include this feature but it would open them to all work environments for me. Not a fan of the way the steel toe in my current work shoes creases them.

                                            Is there any deformation in the leather because of the steel toe? Is it comfortable ?
