    Mad are those roughouts the standard semi-dress or a 461 or swing last? I'm think good old SD with a block heel…

      I'm really sorry BG, i bought these 2nd hand & wouldn't want to steer you wrong with saying what i THINK they are, best bet to be sure would get the image & show it to the folks at White's they will sort you out quick fast in a hurry.

          Hey up Folks! New poster here. Just wanting to share a few pics of some recent acquisitions.

          Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to visit the great state of Oregon, and whilst there visit a few, well rather boot obsessed places.

          It was during my visit to Baker's Boots & Clothing in Eugene, that my first purchase was made.

          I must begin by saying what an absolute gentlemen Kyle at Baker's boots is. Putting aside his incredible knowledge of the product. His friendliness and helpfulness could not have gone further, needless to say all of my future purchases of the boot variety will go through him.

          After a quick browse of their deceptively large showroom is was onto the boots. First a measuring up and then onto what they had in stock in my size. Two pairs were produced. First a pair of Semi dress in British tan with toe cap. Nice, but a little on the small size at 8.5, plus with only a leather sole and six months of wet or worse British pavements ahead they were wisely ruled out. Then finally as if I'd specced them myself. The following were produced. Size 9E, Check. Natural edge, check. Vibram 430 sole, check. Kick ass colour, check. Fit like a dream, check.

          I couldn't be more pleased.

          Burgundy CXL Bounty Hunters.

                          anybody have any experience with changing the heel on their white's?  my semi dresses have the cuban heel on them and because of their height it's actually starting to make an old knee injury hurt.  i'm wondering if it 's possible to shorten and change it to a block heel or if that will destroy the shape of the boot.

                            It's both possible and easy.  The block heel is no problem at all, and lowering it is only a problem if you want to drop it more than a 1/4" inch or so.  Any more than that and you'll start to mess with the orientation of the last and the intended weight distribution and other mechanics that I'm not enough of an expert to know, let alone explain.

                            You can send the pair in to White's or Baker Shoe, or just find a trustworthy local cobbler to do it.  I had a bootmaker here in Houston do it for me on a pair of cowboy boots and it took a couple of days and maybe 40-50 bucks.

                            That's what you get for skateboarding…
