    Really liking those minus the non-celastic toe. I've been interested in the Nomads since seeing Jimmer_5's pair on Fedora Lounge awhile ago. Nice to see them in a beautiful leather like Natty CXL. Just always been scared of sizing them.

      I love them, even the normal celastic toe on my black ones are pretty sleek  I'd planned on getting a pair in brown until I saw fre-co's at:

      I think in the past Kyle at Baker's has sent samples for helping determine sizing.
      FWIW I'm an 11d in all my White's, work semi-dress and nomad and Alden Indy.

        thanks guys,
        but with hundreds of pages that i went through before pulling the trigger on this i found out just now that i made the mistake of choosing the option of double midsole as i should have pick single midsole only and a tiny double midsole will be built as standard for commando mini lug half sole, as confirmation of this i re read Dave's option back at page 38 of his Horse Hide on this thread, though i sent a picture of build i want to Bakers i am afraid that i will get too thick midsole as a result of choosing double midsole aside for paying more for the unnecessary double midsole option. grrrr..

          i think the double midsole is a matter of taste - there are some killer boots with double soles - you might like it.  I think (I have read) that they may be a bit harder to break in with a double sole, but i can't say from personal experience, as all mine are single.  These are my classic dress boots with single sole and commando mini-lug half sole and 1 lift lower heel.

            I agree and there are some double midsole that i considered basing my built. My worry is since its standard for a commando mini lug half sole to have tiny double midsole then my order of a double midsole will actually have tripple midsole and with 1/4 lowered lifts might look funny, the one on my mind is just excatly the same as yours. anyway i sent email to Bakers if it is possible to revised my order, hoping its  ot too late for it.

                Oh hell yes.  No worries my friend.  these things take 8 weeks to build, so you should be fine!

                  FYI for anyone with a lot of money and little patience, Imogene & Willie has a full restock of their I&W branded White's boots.

                  http://shop.imogeneandwillie.com/collections/mens-shoes

                  Four nice builds to choose from, and no 8+week wait  :)… but looks like at least $100+ markup vs. Baker's.

                              very nice builds but i am personally a freak for curved/cuban heels.

                                It's not a White's boot for me without the Cuban heel

                                          Great article - several times strangers have seen and asked me about my boots, and they are always fascinated when they start looking at the details, the leather, heels, sole, etc.  I don't know if any have gone and bought some, but they always ask where I got them and what brand they are.  Same thing with IH jeans - I know for a fact one guy who was a waiter at a restaurant I go to asked me about my jeans actually found the IH site and bought some 634s - probably 2-3 weeks take-home pay!  Dude loves his jeans.
