        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!!!

        Out with the new! In with the old!

            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…

              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.

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

                          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.

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

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

                                  Those red dogs do look nice tho

                                    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?).

                                          Story Time.

                                          I was at Ikea today, and the wife needed to use the bathroom. I sit down on the bench to wait, look over and there's an old guy sitting next to me. Mid 60s, maybe older, with a big bushy white moustache. Before I had even sat down I had scoped his boots. They were definitely Whites. I looked over nonchalantly and said "nice boots." After he said thanks, I asked him if they were Whites. He seemed surprised that I knew what they were, but began to talk about them. They looked like a black dress leather, definitely well worn, with the cuban heel and a vib 430. The toe box was definitely not celastic or steel, and it had the more pointy look of a Viberg, so I'm assuming maybe the Farmer/Rancher?

                                          He said that they were great for standing all day at the farmer's market (he was a farmer with a real texas drawl, but living in Ohio), and great for walking "if you're not in a big hurry." They aren't good "for climbin' hills or rushin' around"

                                          I wish my phone wasn't dead, because I would have taken a pic. He said he had worn Red Wings until 1980, and that this was is second pair of Whites (he'd had them since 2000, worn them every day, and had 1 rebuild)

                                          God damn if that didn't re-ignite my desire for a pair of red dog roughout bounty hunters…
