White's Boots
-
@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

that's my pair. have them listed here as well in the buying and selling thread. funny thing is I get traffic from some honest forum members on ebay and then I get the weird stalker dudes that bid and just sort of watch everything I do.
in any event think they might be too small for you seth, but as previously stated everyone s feet are different

soft toe on those JCM?
also….anyone know the big difference between Cougar and BH? I'm just curious
-
I think I ordered a celastic toe…
Cougar uses the Northwest last, Bounty Hunters are Smokejumpers with the Semi Dress last. My oxfords have the NW last, I can do some pics...
The NW last is my favorite last, some days ago I ordered a Black Rough-Out Cougar -
ive seen lots of pics, and I know I prefer the SD last to the SJ last….but I havent seen much about the NW last. I only ran across the cougar because the spec that I'm interested in (brown/red dog roughout with a christy sole) looks a lot like the default cougar on bakers website.
unrelated question: I'm assuming that a boot built with a christy/2021 sole can be resoled to any other type of vibram (100, 430, etc). Correct?
Huge blister! Lol.. My dad said he had the same issue, but it goes away eventually.
