      @Bluegrass:

      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.

                              Well, true that. Consciously I knew it wouldn't look good.

                              Thanks guys.

                                I wrestled with the same thing Lsash.  Ended up doing the "I'll just get everything over time so I know for sure" approach… so I have White's, Trickers and Alden boots but only wear the trickers and aldens into the office, the whites are just too hardcore for the office.

                                  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.

                                    Any good comparison pics of leather liners? Google search comes up with a few cream and black, but I'm wondering how brown and red look…

                                        Thanks Bretro! And since I crapped up the thread with so many questions, here are my Farmer Ranchers when they were new:

                                          Dood! So, the farmer rancher is basically a soft toe SJ on the #55 last, right? Those in British tan?
