Just got an Email from Kyle. Heaviest leathers available are black oiled, brown oiled and red dough distressed!
…so one of these will be a part of my boots! Or two;)
I've always wondered about the "oiled" leathers. I hope they're like a super heavy Chromexcel variant.
I'll have the swatch book soon and I'll try to answer questions about each leather. -
finn with the images.
you are killing me.

you're telling me. I almost had myself convinced that life as I knew it would cease to exist if I didnt insta-cop a few that he posted. Finn is trouble, ya heard

thanks for those updated images. i love them brand new. not so much so with some wear & tear, but i am in the minority were i actually polish my boots & do shoe trees & all that rubbish.
i always figure you spend your money you want your things to last & look crispy as long as possible.

looking at all the pics of those brilliant looking leathers really fucks with my mind and makes a final decision a mission impossible... -

These are unreal what is this makeup?
the key bits are:
- All natural cxl
- 6" height
- 1/4" lowered cuban heel
- natural sides
- brass eyes and hooks
- no celastic
- standard trim
- 430 sole
-
also i´ve found a nice comparison between the different heel
shapesheights (sth. i wasn´t aware of tbh.)!
Double Midsole + 1/4 Inch Lower Heel (Left) vs Double Midsole + Standard Heel Hight (Right)
Double Midsole + 1/4 Inch Lower Heel (Left) vs Single Midsole + Standard Heel Hight (Right)
-
Lowered heel throws off the balance of the boot, IMO. Especially with the double midsole. I wonder how it affects the feel.
-
I was thinking the same. I know that lasts are built with a certain alignment; move it too much up or down and it throws off the weight distribution and balance. I don't know how much leeway there is, though, and I doubt White's would allow anyone to alter it if it weren't within acceptable parameters. Nonetheless, the standard height looks better to me.
