White's Boots
-
White's Nomad
I wish the buckles on these were more retro style but otherwise I'm pleased with these. I've probably averaged wearing these 2x a week over the last 9months.

wow that is a nice set of boots…. I know where you can get some really great roller buckles if your interested PM me. Otherwise, those are some of the best Whites, actually some of my favorite engineers, I have ever seen. Well played ol chap.

Waxed (Obenaufs LP) Distressed Smooth Leather
Still has the character of the non-waxed Distressed Smooth.
They are still a bit sticky

Wow, gorgeous JCM

Ditto to what Nuffsaid said… I am currently "ate up" with engineer boots and I WILL be getting some soon, but still very much undecided. The advantage (for me) of White's is the sizing is a slam dunk, I love the arch ease, and of course they will be high quality - so it's all about the aesthetics/appearance. I'd love to see more detailed pics of Nomads if anyone has some, i.e. profile, toe shape, soles, etc. There are a just a lot of great engineer boots out there - as Tat, McClain, Finn and others can attest to.

Not sure you can tell those are lined or not, but I wouldn't line those boots if it were me.
-
CXL doesn't require lining.
