Treated some of my boots recently.  Here are my White's Black CXL Classic Work Boots.

i can't believe i'm saying this, but i think out of all the great boots you have, i am really liking the one's above the most.  great looking boots

[Bluegrass]

I really like these too - they are fantastic - it's making me think more and more about some nomads in black cxl.  I'm "ate up" with engineers right now, even though i just ordered some classic dress boots. i'm really digging the white's cxl.  Jestre, what is the sole on those beauties?

And the evidence for black CXL fuckin rockin hard stacks up

[Jestre]

Oh, and to Bluegrass' question; those have a Vibram Composition Half Sole.

[Bluegrass]

Thx J, and looks like a single midsole.  It sure is a nice, basic build - swing last is pretty cool.

It's burgundy CXL.

It's this pair of boots that I posted a while back:

Oh yeah, thanks for posting the link, they are beauties.  I have a pair of burgundy cxl classic dress boots (461 last) on the way, due mid-October.  Smittybat those boots are the nuts - your a very lucky man to be Bl@ster's size… man has good taste.

I weirdly like that sole! It really looks good on that boot.

Love this build - very cool.

Birthday is coming up and suddenly I have realized that I need to get a pair of really good boots. Have read nearly the whole thread and slowly getting to a configuration of White´s SD. One thing I still don´t understand is how much customs will probably set me back living in Germany. East West Apparel would be an alternative but Jamie told me that the horsehide I´d like to have is restricted to Baker´s.

What´s your (Europeans and Germans) experience on that: How much did you pay? Any strategies to lower these costs or even avoid them? Don´t want to do something completely illegal of course, just be smart.

Thanks for your sharing your knowledge with me guys, PM´s are appreciated as well.

^^ I live in Sweden and bought a pair of SD´s in HH about 5 months ago.

I asked Bakers to mark my package as a gift with low value and I got hit with about 25 Euro in taxes and custom fees, to me that´s really good!

Thank you, that would be very good indeed! Will try that.
