      To be fair, after a close inspection of my Oxfords, they were so destroyed that I can chance the guy having a practice on them. If he's any good I'll let him re-heel my Bounty Hunters.

            After wearing them for a few days I sent them back to have a heel lift added. With the -1/4 heel it felt like I was tipping back in the boots. Since I got them back with the standard height it feels much more natural.

                The more I see if it, the more I'm convinced that lowering the heel on White's boots is a terrible idea, for exactly the reason you started.

                      Even with hindsight being what it is, I am glad my build happened the way it did. Because I was on the fence, I think if I had gone with the standard height, I would have questioned my decision. I am glad I was able to feel both and solidify the decision for the final build.

                            I got all my White's with the heel -1/4 lower…..not so extreme looking but am sending them back to have a lift added.....Giles is right even though he's using 4 letter words to get his point across

                                Probably old news for some, but I've been scrolling through Japanese websites to dig up some gems…This is a pair of Soft Toe Distressed Smooth BH's (Top Hook, no eyelet):

                                Amazing what some cream and polish can do…
