White's Boots

[tigerpac]

Hope so!  And hope they fit

[Bluegrass]

I sweated the fit issue, with all the time and money invested - I did the tracings and hoped for the best - and fortunately it turned out great… wearing them now - best fitting boots I've ever owned.  Good luck, it should be a matter of days one would think.

I'm liking the brown laces on the black boots! yay or nay?

Works for me, but I like odd lace/boot combos.

[Finn666]

@tigerpac:

Got a call from Kyle about my incoming competition boots today (already at 10 weeks and counting from order confirmation, was 6-8 week lead time when I ordered) seems they can't do a 430 mini-lug sole, regular trim with an E width… so close trim it is!  Kyle was super friendly and helpful as usual...

...but at this point I just want the boots... sigh

Damn. Ten weeks already? I just ordered mine two weeks ago and am chomping at the bit already. I have a long way to go.

[Finn666]

a beautiful pair of nomads for ya…

@fre-co:

White's natural cxl nomad at about 6 months.

Toe is collapsing nicely

[Bluegrass]

Agree, this boot looks great, and I really like this style - a nomad in black roughout may be in my future…

[tigerpac]

Soooo got ANOTHER call from Kyle today… they couldn't do a 430 sole on an E even with a close trim!  You would think in the history of White's somebody else would have ordered an E with a 430 but ooook.

So switching it up to a 700 sole... and will now continue to wait... again....

[urbanwoodsman]

Man that really sucks and makes no sense. Like you said, this had to of happened at some point before. I mean it's not like you have a size 17 or something crazy right?

[tigerpac]

Nope, 10 E.  Would have thought that was normal….

[Bluegrass]

Sucks.

[Chris]

That makes no sense at all.  I ordered a pair in 10.5D, regular trim, swing last, (which is really wide at the front half of the foot) with the mini-lug sole.  They made it with no problem.

I think something else is going on here.

[demonito]

what size are you?

[Bluegrass]

I thought I noticed awhile back that (Jamie?) a.k.a. EastWest carried a lot of stock in E width on the EastWest website - I wonder if he has had any issues getting different soles?

Planning my next order going in in the next couple of weeks. Stitch down hikers in a crazy combo of red dog rough out and brown dress.

My 13D bounty hunter can't be made with VIb430, so I opted for composition sole, I guess this could be due to whatever supply in their warehouse at that time.
On another note, my HWBC boots are almost here….

[tigerpac]

Well at least SOMEBODY is getting their competition boots

Now 11 weeks from the day I ordered….  competition will be half way over by the time I get the friggen things.

They made my 12.5D with Vib430 mini lug.  I guess 12.5 is the cutoff… Great news on your boots - you will be very happy soon.
