      @seawolf:

      A resole and a refurbishment are two totally different things. A resole is necessary maintenance.

      Yeah, I completely agree.

      I'm glad we can resole. I'll probably need a heel replacement after a few months.

          Whites 6" Standard Block Heel – Alden Indy -- Viberg Scouts

          when i first saw this picture I could not help but notice those ALDEN's look DWARFED by the competition 😞

          I think that is a completely unfair assessment. Different kind of boot and as far as I am concerned a tremendous boot company that makes outstanding timeless product.

            I didn't mean that in a bad way I was just saying there is a noticeable amount of difference in size.

            In reading my statement I can see how it could be understood that way; however, it was in regard to overall size of boot compared to other two… by no means is that in regards to quality or anything else.

              … And the reason I noticed is ALL of my shoes currently are alden and just have stepped over to purchase a pair of viberg. Alden is one off my favorites obviously if that's all I own currently

                    Kyle has been ill, but he's back now. He mailed me a few minutes ago.

                    Is there anything you want me to ask?

                    Do they have a Loden Green leather? I can't seem to find a White's in it anywhere.

                          Rafa, doesn't look like anyone answered. I just measured my standard Cuban heel on my White's SD. 1 7/8"

                              Chris, I'm thinking about doing a loden green NattyX smokejumper with a bad ass sole as a hunting boot….

                                        I just registered for this. Glad to be a part of it with everyone. I'm looking forward to using and lovingly abusing my first pair of White's.  😉
                                        Does anyone have any insight as to the sizing? I want to be as sure as possible before ordering. I've read that the semi-dress last fits similar to Alden's trubalance last (I'm an 8E in my Indy's), and was going to order the same.

                                          ^ Me also, glad to be taking part! I have a pair of William Lennon boots inbound at the moment, but I think this is the perfect opportunity for a pair of Whites. I normally wear a 10 EE in a US boot, and a 9/9.5 G in a UK (depending in the make). Can I go true to size in Whites?

                                            sirxlaughs, sorry man but I have no experience with Alden. I find that Whites generally fit half a size big.

                                            michaeljcr, if you're usually a UK9.5 I would go with a US10.
