HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[tatmantall]

… 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

[SpaceGnome]

My White's make my Red Wings look petite.

[Giles]

My Whites make my Viberg's (well, all my boots) look like ballet slippers…..

@Megatron1505:

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.

[Megatron1505]

I've never seen any Loden green White's Joe.

[Chris]

Just go with another pair of Vibergs, Joe.  We'll be twinsies.

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

[Anesthetist]

Another 25 entries you say?? Off to bug my wife!

[joesaintjohn]

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

[seawolf]

Oh yeah? What are you hinting at?

[joesaintjohn]

*hunting (damn autofail)

[Megatron1505]

The first week of my wait for boots is over, only 7 - 9 weeks remaining 

[Chris]

Should be no problem for a patient guy like you…

[sirxlaughs]

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?

[Megatron1505]

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.

Fits very similar to trubalance however, trubalance is wider than semi dress last

Thanks Mega!

I'm up for a promotion at work.  If I get it, I'll be ordering a pair of White's like nobody has ever seen.  And if I don't, I'll be in Danner x Tanner Goods Mountain Trail Left Banks.

Here's hoping for some managerial wisdom!

Just a quick post to clear up sizing: UK sizing is one half size smaller than US sizing. Thus, a UK 9.5 is a US 10. They are exactly the same size, just expressed differently.

I am a US 12. In the UK, 11.5. In Japan, 30. In Germany and France, 46 2/3. But, they are all the same, the difference is in the expression.
