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

Waxed Red Dog Rough Out is pure sex!!! It looks like RD Smooth but with a hyper nice texture!!!
Pics will follow. -
I got you, homie

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.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Many of us love custom made things.
I would like to share this with you guys.

Waxed (Obenaufs LP) Red Dog Rough Out

After months of lurking, here's my first pair of white's. It's not a custom boot - I had to get a stock pair on very short notice so I could have them shipped to my hotel during the week I spent in Vegas for the CES. That way I got around the enormous customs fees and shipping costs that would apply if I bought them directly from Germany.

@4c:
Any blisters?
Yes! My right little toe looked pretty bad after two days :-\ Stomping through the CES in new Whites was abit brutal after all. I then changed back into my Thorogood Lace-To-Toe Roofers for the rest of the show. With two layers of full grain rough-out, they're not exactly sissy shoes, but they felt like slippers in comparison
My right foot is wider than the left one, so some initial discomfort
wasn't unexpected… I sized 0.5 down from my usual 13D to a 12.5D. Length is perfect and with some more break-in these will be a great fit eventually. So I'm pretty happy with the outcome of my sizing lottery...
I'll make some fit pics next time I wear them. -
I have no experience with White's boots. I heard they run a little large. I'm thinking of taking a gamble on a pair on ebay.
What size am I in White's if I'm a US 8.5D in Chippewa, Danner, etc.?
Here's the pair I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whites-boots-/281250005473?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item417bce81e1
They are an 8D.
Thanks!

In contrast, my experience with the standard last SJs is they fit tts; #55 last, I've learned I need to size down 1/2
Such a timeless look…
