Any pics of a build close to this? #55 last, soft toe, standard heel, single midsole, 269 outsoles
I'm debating the heel specs for some boondocker inspired BHs in distressed RO; to either go with a lowered standard heel with 269 soles or lowered with 700 or 430 soles. I thought for sure I'd want the lowered with 430 ala Bluegrass or Hollows, but my recently aquired SDs with double leather soles on the standar heel got me thinking differently. Haven't seen many pics out there (if any!) of the standard heel with a soft toe.
Ok I'm done typing

Bretro - maybe these (posted by 4c) have a standard heel height w/ 700 sole… hard to tell.

Cheers man- perfect! Also kinda reinforces my thought that the soft toe on a standard heel would look like a packer boot. Whatcha think?

Alright, got my build ready, but can anyone help confirm the last (standard?) and if the heel is lowered (quarter inch?)? Spoke with Kyle and we both took a guess:
Smoke Jumper: Same build as this pair on Warehouse http://store.whw.jp/?pid=41993162
Sole: Vibram 700
Hardware: All Brass Eyes
Height: 6"
Lace Design: Plain Toe
Top: Rolled Top
Midsole: Single
Size - Width: E
Leather Liner: No Thanks
Last: Standard
Upper (Shaft) Leather: Black Dress
Toe Vamp Leather: Black Dress
Toe Cap Leather Color: Does not apply
Celastic Toe Box: Single Celastic Toe
Edge: Brown
Steel Toe: No Thanks
Toe Cap: No Thanks
Counter Leather: Black SmoothSince WH has another Smoke Jumper, specifically on the Semi Dress last, my guess is that these are standard Smoke Jumpers but with a lowered heel, single midsole and celastic toe which give it a slimmer yet bulbous look.
Thanks!

Hi aho these looks like a bounty hunter to me sorry but wh must have mixed up theyre pic

My vote is SD last / lowered heel. Fuggin badass boots!
-
Agree - it's a look some folks would go for, it's a different look. check this one, extreme example, SJ with vibram100… https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151999717002281&set=o.198093005548&type=3&theater

Thanks everyone, appreciate the help! For reference, here's the pair WH is calling a Smoke Jumper on Semi Dress (ie: Bounty Hunter):
http://store.whw.jp/?pid=47912275And the original pair being worn (not listed as Semi Dress):
http://www.whw.jp/style/2012/03/20120327_1.htmlPretty sure the original ones I posted are just bounty hunters with a lowered heel. That settles it!

Agree. That's not standard SJ last.

Blue grass yeah my roughout bh have the soft toe innit.
-
Wow, that looks great with the thick leather.
Thanks! Yea, these are a whole new ballpark from my CXL boots…
had to get a helper lacing them up the first time and have sore fingers and toes today. 
They have tremendous support too. This brown smooth is a brutal, yet epic leather! 
Anyone know if I should do a light coat if LP to waterproof/soften leather now for preventative care or break-in. Good idea? :-\
