HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

[sirxlaughs]

Switched to the leather laces and added the false tongue for today.

Love these boots. Go with the kilty (tongue) it's what sets the BH apart from the SD boot.

great simple boot.

think i would actually wear them if they weren't stacked so high, can't wait to see them get some wear.

[Chris]

C'mon, Monday- who doesn't like a little extra sole?

Yeah, I know.  That was terrible.

[Seul]

He'll be here all day, ladies and gents. Unfortunately.

So many nice boots in this thread.

These Whites crossed my facebook feed today, it startled me a little for some reason but I thought it was really cool so I figured I'd share.

From the poster "Whites are insane. These are starting their 14th fire season and I only had the tread replaced once (last year) all other leather is still good. Mink oil only…...hope they can make it 13 more!"

Figured you guys were about the only people I know that would appreciate that.

[Anesthetist]

Fresh from the box. Actually pretty comfortable.  They will take some time to be just right,  but not as stiff as I thought they'd be!.

[zwer]

Those are fantastic!

With the unsettled weather we've been having here I decided to put a coat of Kiwi Dubbin on my White's this morning. Didn't seem to change the colour of the leather and maybe it will soften them up a bit.

My daughter Amelia agrees.

Too excited. Pardon the iPhone photos. Haven't laced them up, but the width is spot on. Length is a touch long.
