White's Boots
-
Thanks! I went the way of doing a full custom
fit at a local retailer here in CO but for the actual boot build up I wanted to keep it really simple, and classic. I'm super pleased with how they came out. -
Very nice Z-Diddy, total classic look.

I did hit em with some ubernaufs right outta the gate.
Ahh, specs, they are whites SD and I'll have to dig around a bit for the rest. Brown leather, it's smooth…oh yeah and there is a toe cap. I know that much. I just went in had a really nice gal trace my feet, take some measurements and said ok build me a boot.
In all seriousness though, I did pick out the leather but off the top of my head I am forgetting which one it is. I'll figure it out soon-ish.

semi-distressed cow hide
vibram composition sole
SD heellike I said, I was going for about as basic as you can get.

Thank you sir, that means very little coming from you…

Not much could smell worse than my feet Seul but that's a whole other issue…

For Bluegrass & Co, to give you an idea of standard Smoke Jumper last shape against Semi Dress last toe shape:
Smoke Jumper Standard SJ last:
Semi Dress last shape:
I will be having quite a lot of detailed info/ shots on the custom part of the website with regards to all the options White's offers including info about the various lasts etc….within the month. Meant as a custom aid but I'm sure it will be a handy resource in general.
Cheers.

Put up a photo of c461 please…EW....huge help..because of you I just ordered a pair of SJ but with Semi Dress last...no celastic.
Tried the standard SJ last and it was so rounded....not a nice shape to me...tried the Swing.. which fit nice but looked clown like till I got a pair of rough out in swing but no celastic...looks great...looks a lot different.
I hope White's pays attention to how you have organized your site....really organized if you want to buy a new pair of boots..you show the leathers great....your photos of the stock shoes are great...all angles...just add all the lasts please. -
Hello everybody
I joined this forum cause I think you guys have the best white's boots forums out there.
I'm trying to finalize my decision on a pair of smoke jumpers.
I've narrowed it down to 6" - Smoke Jumper Last - regular brown SJ leather - soft toe - vibram 700 sole standard heel height etc…
where I hit a road block is Lace to Toe or Plain toe. I really like the way both look, but I'm torn. So I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with lace to toe or both LTT and PT on the smoke jumper last.
and here is my contribution to the thread - my brown CXL semi dress boots
these have been rebuilt twice for size adjustments. I have issues with the shape of my right foot. as you can see in the last photo - White's used a heavy fitting on the outside of the boot to make the toe box a little less tapered. I've owned the boots for almost 3 years now, but the leather on the toe is from sometime in april - when the most recent rebuild was done. I think I probably should have gone with the smoke jumper to begin with…so lesson learned I guess. I still love these.
also my Dad's side of the family lives in Spokane, so I've been able to visit the factory a couple of times and do the factory tour ( which was awesome ) and yes - I was measured at White's. these are some pics I was able to snap - I wasn't sure how they felt about me taking pictures so theyre kinda rushed and on my old 3Gs.
