HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[seawolf]

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.

[sirxlaughs]

Thanks for the sizing help, d666.

So far, the configuration I'm thinking of is #8 CXL vamp and counter with natural CXL upper, 6" height, celastic toe, red liner, single midsole, standard height with 90 degree heel, brass eyes/hooks, and the vibram 100 lug.

[Anesthetist]

Went with this:
Counter Leather Black Dress, Celastic Toe Box Single Celastic Toe, Height 6", Midsole Double, Heel Base 90 Degree Blocked off Heel (Traveler), Last Semi Dress (Bounty Hunter), Upper (Shaft) Leather Black Chrome Excel by Horween, Toe Cap Medallion Toe Cap, Toe Vamp Leather Black Dress, Top Cut Top (standard), Hardware All Antique Eyes, Leather Liner Cream, Pull Loops Leather Pull Loops, Size - Width D (medium), Lace Design Plain Toe, Sole Vibram 430 Mini Vib, Toe Cap Leather Color Black Chrome Excel, Edge Natural, Heel Lifts Standard, Size - Length 9.5
