          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.

                    • 6" height
                    • 1/4" lowered cuban heel

                      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)

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

                          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....

                            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.

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

                                          Could be the case.  But I heard the arch on White's boots is high, lowering the heel (1/4 inch) may help those with flatter foot/feet.

                                            Pretty sure the above boots are 6"

                                            Believe these are 8"

                                            Believe these are 10"
