    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.

                                      it's fine, i learned that if you order with the half mini lug sole it's standard that they put double tiny midsole even if you choose single midsole as an option. i wrongly opted and pay for the  double regular midsole that Baker's corrected. 🙂 🙂
