    Just got a pair of White's Retro Oxfords in from Baker's. Here's the pics and specs below. One thing to note, I measured and these seem to run a full size larger than a true Brannock size vs the Semi Dress boot which I feel runs about a half size larger than true to size. Unexpected, but that's what I found. These came out to $550 which is more than the boots, not sure why that is (fewer sold perhaps?) This is my first foray into the French Calf leathers.. and sure enough it is thinner, shinier, and works well on the oxfords since it looks a little dressier. And yes, these have the 1/4" lowered heel. Here are two quick crappy cell phone pics:

      wow thanks for sharing, i was wondering about these - like what i see (hope the fit is OK for you given the sizing issue).  hope you'll post some more pics when you get a chance.

                    Those soles have grown on me upon first seeing them; great boots, utter shitkickers.

                            Definitely black.

                              Really? How is that even a decision?

                              They look super sweet btw, and completely your style.

                                Well of course I'm going with black. I just like options.

                                  The only option you need is when the black laces snap, buy more black laces  🙂

                                    …or black leather laces, which would look sick on those IMO.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                        Bl@ster, beautiful boots - love everything about them… question though, for you or anyone - what is the real difference between close and standard trim?  is it just a cleaner/dressier look?  Any other significant difference than aesthetic/preference?

                                          Close gives you one row of stitching, standard trim gives you two rows of stitching on the welt. Standard is probably more indestructible, but close is fine for my needs and yes looks a little more refined/dressy.
