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

[madmonday]

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.

These are unreal what is this makeup?

[Finn666]

@derivative666:

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

[Finn666]

also i´ve found a nice comparison between the different heel shapes heights (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)

[Chris]

Lowered heel throws off the balance of the boot, IMO. Especially with the double midsole.  I wonder how it affects the feel.

[Giles]

Personally, I think the lowered sole looks wrong & the "proper" height sole is the proper height for a reason…..

Edit.  Chris got in first and I suspect the end result is nowhere near as comfortable....

[Chris]

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.

[seawolf]

Agreed.

The lowered heel looks off to me but hey… To each their own

What is the height of these boots?  6 or 8 inches?

[derivative666]

8" I believe

[Chris]

Yeah, those are 8".
