White's Boots
-
Thanks everyone, appreciate the help! For reference, here's the pair WH is calling a Smoke Jumper on Semi Dress (ie: Bounty Hunter):

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!

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

D, now I officially want some soft toe rough outs. but I need to do more boot-wearing and less boot-buying for awhile.
4c, I never put anything on mine, just clean them with a wet rag when they get dirty… but I might someday. Lots of folks treat them periodically, or even polish them - but if they are brand new personally I'd wear them awhile first. You will prob. get a lot of diff. opinions on this!
-
Agree with bluegrass- it's unnecessary. There's no need to put anything on them until they start looking dry. Too much product isn't a good thing.
-
Damn, I do like that flat toe (assume thats a soft toe on D's BH?). Looking at mine again… what's another 1/4"? it think it would be OK...
This settles it for me; 1/4" lowered standard heel fo show! Perfect mix of iconic Whites but still with a boonie flare (when build with roughout). Maybe Kyle will cut us a deal on two pairs

I like to get White's for my new office kicks. Do BH(with double mid-soles + #450 sole) go well with pants and shirts?
P.S. Hi @demonito, Edmond from Indigoroots?

I'd really recommend something like Alden or Tricker's instead. They're much better for that type of use.
-
They are much better, but if the dude has his heart set on Whites then a pair of black SD'd in dress leather, with a brown edge and a leather sole can look good in a formal occasion.
-
I agree, that could work, but he's talking about this build, which will not look good.

i saw a pic on baker's Facebook page of kyle's wedding - it was he and all his groomsmen in matching white's semi-dress boots with their tuxes!
I wear boots to work every day unless it's a trip to Indianapolis corp. HQ. We have a business casual attire policy which includes denim, and I take full advantage. But even if I have to wear dress pants I have some nice Billy Reid wing-tip ankle boots that work quite well.
