White's Boots

So here I was blissfully ignorant to the joys of White's… sure have peaked at this thread from time to time and said, jeez those look nice but never fully appreciated them until killing a little time in the city yesterday pre-valentine's day dinner when I stumbled on a shoe store stocking White's and fecking hell, they're more amazing in real life than I would have ever imagined!
Ugh... wallet might lose this fight!

btw. the guys rocking a leather sole on their SD`s…how well do they hold up?
sth. to recommend or would you advice to go for sth. different?thanks...
Rafa, my rubber heel shows more signs of wear then the leather sole. Prob have to replace the heel before I resole the toe area.

Ah. I still haven't been there. I checked out Whites site a few months ago for local dealers. I saw Tani on there but I called a few times and they never answered.
What did they have?

Two Whites dealers in NYC ??? Like I need another reason to come back

thanks a lot for the info mate…
how long are you wearing yours by now?
you able to post some pics?not sure if i should put a 430 vibram sole on them or if i should just go with a single or double leather sole...i guess that would look better on the SD!?

you need a rubber sole if you wear them in the rain or snow a lot. cycling with leather soles is also not too pleasant.
the soles on my double leather SD's show wear but are still far from needing a replacement after two years of service.

Oooooohhh those are pretty.
are there reasons one "need" a rubber sole?
