White's Boots

[tigerpac]

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!

[Bluegrass]

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

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.

[EastWest]

Free red nose and Mc Hammer trousers with every pair. Speaking of the swing last is there by any chance some generous who might be able to either send me or post up a couple of pics of the swing and hopefully 461 last from the top and side view (not too demanding) that I might be able to half inch for illustration purposes?

Very very much appreciated. Would steal from google but apparently people don't like that!

[Bluegrass]

Hard to tell, but the black BHs pictured "might" have a 1/4 lowered heel too… hard to tell from the pic.

[Bluegrass]

For the curious, here is a pair on Ultrasound with the 461 last (I like the olive bullhide but not fan of the turn-up toe):
