White's Boots

@bl@ster:

Yo Salami, what leather is that? Can you post the full specs?

Horsehide I guess.

I wear a 9D in RW, snug fit in with a thick socks. What size and width should I get for white's sd in a standard last?

^ if it's a 9US you take in RW I'd go with an 8.5 or 9E in the SD last, an 8 might be too snug with thick socks.

Anyone has any inputs? Would a 9E fit? My feet measures a EUR42 on a brannock device by Birkenstock from what I remember.

I wear same size in redwings and Whites

[EastWest]

Ghetto, I wear the same size in RW as you and am a measure EU 42 and in SD's I'm an 8.5E-9E, can get a thicker sock on comfortably with the 9's. Send a tracing to myself, Bakers or direct to White's if you want to make sure.

Cheers. J.

[Ghetto]

Hey guys! Thanks for the input! Will be getting a 9E then!

Cheers.

I don't own a pair of Red Wings, but before I bought my Alden Indy's I tried on a pair of the Beckman boots. I didn't buy the Red Wings b/c the width was too tight, and sizing up just made the boot too long. I ended up buying a pair of Indy boots in 8E. I ordered my White's in an 8E also, and they're basically the same fit as my Indys.

For my feet I need to size up from RW's to White's. I wear 10 D in RW and need 10,5 up to 11 E for thicker socks in White's Smokejumpers.

By the way a question to all:

We are talking always about lace-up-boots only, but has anyone experience with custom made pull-on-boots? Especially about the fit?

FedEx notification from Baker's ~10 weeks from order date  - should arrive monday. Finally get to see a pair live, not just pics - oh yeah and wear them too - what a concept!

I wear 13D in Red Wing boots - and I measured my foot for White's, and Baker's suggested 12.5D (that is what I ordered, in a bounty hunter).  I will see how that works out very soon.

"If" Red Wing made a 12.5D that might work for me - the boots are roomy.

[gratefulmelon]

I wear a 10D in Red Wings with thick socks and still have a little room but 9.5D fits good and snug with thin socks. A 9.5D in White's SJ's and Packers works great for me so you should be good.

If I could find a good custom made rugged Chelsea boot I'd be all over it.  I just go back and forth between my rw Chelsea's and my blunnies.

Shipping email from Bakers, fuck yeah.

I recall there is at least 1 pic of a White's "Nomad" in this thread - it is White's "engineer" style pull-on boot - in nat. cxl that was really nice - I even printed it off for future reference.  It would be a chore to find it, but it is there.  I have no personal experience with this style, but I can tell you it is a really handsome boot.

Personally I would be a little scared to buy the Nomad, as I have a high instep, and in the past I have had a hard time getting "engineers" on my feet.  I can usually do it but it's like wrestling an alligator. I actually gave away a pair of Frye's to my nephew because it was just too much.

Fuck yeah2

JayDee, here is one of the references to the Nomads.

@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

[tatmantall]
