[tigerpac]

No personal experience, but Kyle knows his shit

[demonito]

get the same size i suggest and wear thicker socks. theyre not a full half size down. theyre like 1/8 size down so just wear a thicker sock and your good!

Today I received my White`s Semi Dress Horsehides. They are dope. By far the best boots I ever had - weight, materials and craftsmanship are totally next level. Happy with the setup and the fit as well.

Man, I love these.  Full specs please!!!

Mate, Is it single midsole? Your pics look really like double.
But yea, I've heard by some guy that White's offers like 1.5 midsole on commando mini lug…

[specmvl]

You are basically right - the mini lug is attached to some leather, which makes the boot look like having a 1.5 sole. It was the main reason for me to get that sole.

[JCMx800]

Sounds like a solid boot!

[JCMx800]

Found this pair on Rakuten:
SJ Red Dog Rough-Out

[Chris]

I really don't get the Japanese obsession with two inch thick soles on boots.

[Bluegrass]

Love it - that leather is nice, and double sole with v100 makes it a real shitkicker.  looks like it might be a BH - built on SD last.  regular SJ last seems to have a more squarish toe. but i agree, for me (esp. at 6'7"} its too much sole.

[Finn666]

u and me both chris! shit looks just off…

[derivative666]

Love red dog rough-out will be my next pair but on single with 430 vibram and quarter lowered block heal, no toe box, 8" high, brass eyelets.

[Bluegrass]

That will be killer - same build as my nat cxls.  I had not seen a pic of the red dog roughout - really nice.

@Chris:

Prob has to do with their average height being like 5'6" ish

Those red dogs do look nice tho

[winterland]

My used White's Semi-Dress boots that I scored a nice deal on. They are size 8 1/2 D black Horween Chromexcel leather, leather toe caps, block heel, brown edge, Vibram 700 sole, nickle eyes and hooks. I need to get another pair of boots that I like this much as I don't want to wear anything else.

I kinda like it, purely from an aesthetic point of view (Unpopular opinion?).

A couple of pics to show how the sole is connected with a layer of leather.
