Are those Bigfoot's boots? 11FF?

That's someone who should have sent a foot tracing.

@supersalami:

damn! cats paw soles!

@Mich:

@TF, at your request.

My White's SD, owning about 4 years, wear unknown, haven't kept track they're in my everyday boot rotation.

What I really like about these is that the block heel is flush with the boot, whereas so often the White's block overhangs so far off the back…  Was this a special request?  Just luck?  A different sole than original?

It's what I'd like on the pair I am ordering soon...

Got my tracking from UPS through Bakers today…now it´s getting close receiving my White's SD.

The wait was all good in the beginning but after a while I kinda looked looked at my email a little more than normal...

I´ll post pics when they boots arrive.

How long was your wait?

[Alex81]

^^I ordered them on december 19th but my payment did not go through right away. Kyle sent me an email and it got sorted through PayPal on the 24th december or so.

So I´ve been waiting since then. But I realize it was the holidays when I ordered so I understand the wait.

[zwer]

Roughly 6 weeks then by my quick math. The wait is already bugging me and I put my order in last Friday. Very impatient.

[Alex81]

Nah it´s been more like 9 weeks. But the wait is soon over! 

Kyle told me White's had alot of backorders so they were very busy. I´m cool with that and Kyle has been superior all the way, answering my ?´s and concerns.

@www.bakershoe.com:

The picture shows:
Distressed rough out leather
Vibram 2021 sand sole
Natural Edge

Does the Distressed Smooth really looks that bright?
Here it looks a lil darker:

[FurattoHeddo]

The White's Engineers (a line called Nomad which is a relatively new line) look quite nice…

Brown CXL:

Distressed RO (also looking quite light in colour here JCMx800)

Really liking these in distressed ro 

[supersalami]

the nomads are really tempting with the double mid and half comp soles!!

[Finn666]

check a few pages back for some nomads in natural cxl! brilliant they are…

These were resoled by a cobbler in NY, so indeed a completey different sole from the one White's uses.

jesus, I never liked engineers until I joined this forum and now I see so many I 

my eyes have been opened to so much

[jackie17]

Does anybody have any experience in either the White's Cougar(northwest last) and White's Smoke Jumper(semi-dress last) on either the Vibram 2021/4014 sole?

I'm specifically interested in the arch support provided by the northwest last and/or Smoke Jumper(BH) with a Vibram 2021/4014 sole. Also, how the arch support fares with a wedge sole as opposed to the same last but with a cuban heel.

I currently have a Bounty Hunter, so Smoke Jumper w/ semi-dress last, but with a Vibram half composition sole. I love the arch support the boots provide and am interested in picking up another pair, only with a vibram 2021/4014 sole.

Thanks
