          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.

              Im looking to buy a pair of Whites.  I found a few pictures of pair that I would want, but not exactly sure of the specs of it.  Since you guys are experts on here, I was wondering if you could help to figure out what the exact specs are.

              Pics:

              More pics can be seen here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w1004-3446660710.9.EmcpuR&id=18080215824

              Here is what I think they are so far:

              Style: Smoke Jumper or Bounty Hunter?
              Height: 7in
              Lace Design: Plain Toe
              Last: Classic 461
              Toe Vamp Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
              Counter Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
              Upper (Shaft) Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
              Leather Liner: ?
              Edge: Brown or Natural? (Not sure what this is)
              Midsole: ?
              Sole: Vibram 700
              Celastic Toe Box: ?
              Toe Cap: Leather Toe Cap
              Toe Cap Leather Color: Natural Chrome Excel
              Hardware: Brass Eyes and Hooks
              Top: ?
              Steel Toe: No Thanks

              Am I close? Did I get anything wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

              Thanks in advance.

              Jon

                Think its a natural edge, single celastic toe box, cut top, lined, single midsole but 1/2 guessing on some of those.

                  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.

                      ^Good call.  Looks like a semi-dress last but hard to tell - anybody else?

                            Jon,

                            Here is what I "think":

                            Style: Smoke Jumper or Bounty Hunter?  BH is SJ on semi-dress last.
                            Height: 7in - not sure, looks like it.
                            Lace Design: Plain Toe - Yes.
                            Last: Classic 461 - Yes, I think it is.
                            Toe Vamp Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
                            Counter Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
                            Upper (Shaft) Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
                            Leather Liner: ? I have natty cxl boots, agree with the others, not needed.
                            Edge: Brown or Natural? (Not sure what this is) - Natural edge.
                            Midsole: ? - Single.
                            Sole: Vibram 700 - Yes.
                            Celastic Toe Box: ? - Yes.
                            Toe Cap: Leather Toe Cap - Yes.
                            Toe Cap Leather Color: Natural Chrome Excel - Yes.
                            Hardware: Brass Eyes and Hooks - Think so.
                            Top: ? Looks like cut top.
                            Steel Toe: No Thanks - yep
                            Also…
                            Close trim - 1 row of stitching.
                            Block/traveller heel, looks like standard height.

                                      Just got a shipping confirmation from Baker's for a new pair of Natural CXL Nomads.  Only ordered them 5 weeks ago so I hope it's for real.  Double mid, soft toe.

                                        Sent my foot tracings to Baker's 3 weeks ago - still nothing. Whatever you try to do using DHL they constantly fail. This is a fecking basic letter!

                                        This probably belongs to the ramdom rants section…

                                          Cool, pics please!!! A pair of engineers is up next for me, but wavering between White's, Wesco or "other".  But I love the way White's fit - that is a big plus.
