White's Boots

[Finn666]

@Megatron1505:

Time for a resole and refurb back at Spokane?

changing the soles just for a new look mate?…they look like they have still a f_cking lot of life left, don´t you think!?

[demonito]

why spokane? send them to brass in japan around 200 bucks . them them to put in those nice lookin sand 2021 or they have those nice cushion soles

[Megatron1505]

I wear the outside of the sole first, which makes the shoe less comfortable over a period of time, although I think I am going to change the look with a black Vib 2021 sole rather than a cristy or cream 2021.

Ed, because I'm a traditionalist  Although as it turns out I will be getting them done by the Shoehealer.

12 weeks from order date and still no White's.  Kyle promises that they'll probably be in next week….

Got some catching up to do in the boot comp!

OK J, I'll bite - whats the makeup?  Love it, BH, which roughout?  Sweet.

[Jestre]

Harvest rough out leather throughout, double natural midsole, no celastic toe, 100 lug sole.  They are beautiful beasts.

[Anesthetist]

Jestre, those are some beautiful boots! I was really hesitant to do the rough out look, but in retrospect maybe I should have.

[Bluegrass]

Yes they are beauties - I REALLY like this makeup… outstanding!

Here are a few cool roughout builds on ultrasound:

The black oil SJs are particularly badass.

can anyone give me input on this build, is this a black dress leather, the heel height? want my first White's boots to exactly like this..

[natehate]

your best bet would be send that pic to kyle at baker and ask him to make that boot for you

[derivative666]

Really like those Cougars!

i would have thought that was a swing last by looking at it.

[Megatron1505]

Bounty Hunters are not available in a swing last so far as I know. Looks like a regular SD last to me.

[EastWest]

Would say definitely not the swing last. The "Bounty Hunter" is Bakers own name for the SJ with the SD last. It's either the SD last or due to the upturn the 461 last? Worth checking with White's or Bakers.

[Chris]

Yeah the swing last is a bulbous looking thing.  That one is much prettier.

[Megatron1505]

I always think that SD's made with a swing last look great after they have been broken in, and when they're not being worn. Unfortunately when you see someone wearing them with jeans they do tend to look like clown shoes.

[Chris]

Yep.  Even without the celastic toe, they look like balloon toed clown shoes.  Slap a different color toe cap on them and they'd be perfect for the circus.
