      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!

            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?

                    Only had a couple of minutes but they had the smoke jumpers in a couple of colors and a lower boot, might have been the dress.

                    Going to go back and dig into the inventory a bit more, I'll report back!

                    Come on back Mega!

                      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!?

                        If you don't need the rubber Rafa, go with the double leather, it's a good look!

                            well i´m not sure if "need" is the right word to go with 🙂 are there reasons one "need" a rubber sole?
                            imo both options look pretty nice (both = both of the SD boots you´re selling that is!)

                              Cheers 🙂 by need I mean how's the weather? If sheeite then Vibrams might be the way! Slipping over if not made to look like break dancing is a bugger. A good cobbler can add a very thin rubber sole to aid grip without changing the aesthetic.

                                  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.

                                            first thought that came into my mind was that they could replace my a tad too narrow fitting 4HSxViberg boots…hmmmm?
