Bretro, you got it! Color is off due to the instagram filter, however…

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.

@Bluegrass:

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.

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.

8" Farmer/Rancher in brown smooth, after a first few miles of break-in:

Any blisters?

@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.

My right little toe too! Huge blister! Lol.. My dad said he had the same issue, but it goes away eventually.

update on my BH or should i say Classic White's?

Seth

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!

-1/2 from your brannock size should do the trick

Seth

Thanks - I'm off to find a Brannock Device.

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

tigerpac

Yeah that's the tough part, different feet are different shapes

Blue lace project laces came today!
I know… I know… They’re very blue.

Bluegrass

I size down .5 too

Mild7

1/2 down from Brannock in length for me too.

EDIT: 4c, I'm feeling the blue.
