White's Boots

[madmonday]

Reply #1977 from Finn  I wonder how long that person wore those & what was done in them.  I've a pair or two of boots made out of Natural CXL & although I will admit I take care of my goods . . . they look nothing like the leather in that image.  they almost look like they have been polished or something that made them darker in a pretty uniform manner.

very curious.

still trying to decide what boots to commit to . . . .

just re read this whole thread and i still dont know what last to get
i dont like the look of the lower toe box
i want a toe box similar to shanes bounty hunters but im getting semi dress
i hate the look of the flatter toes
help me out boys

Just make sure to request the celastic toe box; that will keep them from flattening out.

Can't help you with the last, sorry.

[natehate]

maybe i should go double box

natural cxl basically just turns a rich brown when its aged.  My OSB's are about as dark a pair of natural cxl as I have seen.  I like them, not sure I would want a 8"+ boot n them though…

Chris - you cool with sharing some sizing info when you get your SD's? thx…

gonna see if I'm able to get more infos from the guy…give me a day or two though!
really would be interesting to know though...

btw. you unsure about the make up or are you thinking about a different boot/style?

[madmonday]

thanks for getting the additional info finn.  i'm very curious about the care of those boots. although, it might just be my screen as the computer & the camera has been known to sometimes play tricks on me.

unsure about the boot i want to wear for Mega's-foot-wear-jamboroee.  needs to be a pair of boots that i will wear at least three times a week for two years (no he hasn't put up any rules or anything just something i want to do).  that's a hell of a commitment for me.

was thinking of going through my archives & seeing if there is anything that should be given a second shot at the spot light.

to get back on track, i have a pair of white's incoming that i have been meaning to build for some time.  will post an image when they arrive & have to give big kudos to that kyle as the guy is really helpful & gets back to you pretty quickly. he's also honest about what he can & can not do which is rare.

Next two builds, as long as I dont change my mind…

i like that all black roughout everything boot.

Planning on either SJ or SD on semi-dress last. As far as size is considered. I have a size 9D Alden INDY, but I have a slightly above average width about E, so I think I should have sized up on it since it is just a tad bit tight in toe box. I also wear Size 9D in the Classic Red Wing Moc Toe Boot width isn't a problem since there is lots of room in the toe box. Further reference sizes:

10 in Nike runners
42 in CP
9.5 in Clarks

I am thinking 9E would be good. Your further input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Palma,
i get recently the SJ. went for a 9D.
i am 9D with Alden(barrie last).
the SJ are wider. for sure.
i am 9,5 in Nike and 9 in Clarks desert.
Palma, may be think to go with a 9,5D…

[SpaceGnome]

well, I am a 10.5 in Nike trainers.  I brannock at a 10.  My Whites are a 10 and I have a thumbs width of room up front when standing.  I would not want anything smaller.  I suggest doing the fitting method that White's and Bakers do, and sending the results to them.

[hajduk]

that´s the best to do^^

Epic collection you have there! I feel pressure to play it safe and go monotone, but part of me wants to make my Bounty Hunters like the two toned Flat Heads. I like the lace toes too…..and the cap toes. I love these kind of decisions..

[Megatron1505]

I agree, these are the best kind of decisions to have to make.

I have done the crazy boot make up, for my next boot I wanted something that I can truly wear every day, in every occasion, so I have gone monotone.

[seawolf]

Good call Gav. Versatility is key, though someday I'd like to get a crazy boot make up. I went with the versatile make ups first…. hmmm.... Those two tone BH's do look nice!

Shane, you mean, mean man. This is one of the best looking boots I´ve ever seen. Whats the price for those?

Thanks!

[urbanwoodsman]

Thanks man. They were around $400.

[demonito]
