So I just found out that White's Boots is based in Spokane.  How did I go this long without knowing this?  My Mom lives in Spokane.  I visit the area like 5 times a year.  I have season tickets to the alma mater, 90 minutes south of Spokane.  White's is in Spokane. Viberg is in Victoria.  PNW FTW.

@seawolf:

I sure do. These pics are a bit older, and I think I had just mowed the lawn with them, so they're a little green

I'll take some new pics in a minute for you.

no worry about the green, I love those dirrrrty nice boots seawolf and I like how you broke them in to a nice shape

[seawolf]

Thanks! I really love the fit too. They are super comfortable, though after a long day of wearing them, I get a little rubbing in a couple areas. This leads me to believe that they're STILL not totally broken-in. I've had them for quite a while now!

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.

I contacted Kyle by email. I scanned my foot tracing and sent it via email, he suggested 9E, but didn't seem too sure.

if they're too small, you're fecked
if they're too large, you can wear thick sock.

this method of emailing a digital file of the image scares me a might bit… seems like relying on a lot of variables to be perfectly in line to achieve the exact TTS rendering of your tracing... I had to do a tracing for Viberg and just sent it snail mail.... but I am plagued by murphy's law; therefore, I try to reduce my risks as much as possible. Hope it works out mate!

haha idk man! for white's I feel that they have to be just right! because of the arch ease. if it's too big, the arch will be pressing against the wrong part of the foot which can be rather uncomfortable.. or if they're too small… well it'll just be ancient chinese foot binding all over again

yea, its stupid to do anything else other than what Bakers and Whites says to do.  Trace and measure your foot and mail it to them.  Any thing else and you are risking a major f up.

Not necessarily- I did a tracing of my foot, then scanned and emailed it to Viberg and that worked out fine.  I think the key was marking the length and width of my foot on the drawing, so that the scale could be verified on the other end.

[nicecrackaction]

when i sent in my measurements for my first custom pair, I added a few millimeters here and there, thinking too large would be better than too small.
White's obviously thought the same and my boots ended up too big. Not unwearable, but still annoying. I eventually sold them (to mega) and i got all following pairs half a size smaller and one full size narrower.

that is to say: don't try to be clever when submitting your measurements and tracing your feet.
