White's Boots

[ben2t]

White's on ebay are auctions and the amount you saw were just starting bids, if you are willing to pay north of $300 then theres a great chance of winning one.

Here one sample that is on my watch list with 7bids!  http://m.ebay.com/itm/310862410359?nav=WATCHING_ENDED

Someone help me please, remind me what a Farmer Rancher is??  What last is that?  I notice a lot of the White's River boots are FRs…

And Ben2, I like that Blue/tan.  very nice combination.

@Bretro_:

Any interest in factory installed Biltrite soles and Cats Paw heels? Kyle hinted to me at the possibility of a Bakers exclusive… Don't know bout you, but I'm game

If that was an option I'd be interested…

[Bretro_]

Bluegrass, I'm all but certain the farmer rancher is the smokejumper with a non-lug sole, and vise versa. As for the Biltrite option; I'll keep ya posted if I get updates but Kyle told me he was talking to Whites prez about the exclusive, so I'm reasonably confident that it'll happen.

Question of my own: anyone do a bounty hunter or SJ with the packer upper? I prefer the vamp/counter stitching of the packer (that it doesn't intersect- if that makes sense). Wesco will do it, but haven't heard any similar stories for Whites…

I'm waiting for my #8 burgundy chrome excel semi dress's to come in within the next few weeks or so… I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to change your single midsole into a double if you wanted to...

^why shouldn't it?…

Thx, I suspected it was the SJ last, makes sense.  I am intrigued/curious about White's Packers, you don't see many pics or hear much buzz about them. I'd like to see/hear more.

And PC, re: the single to double sole, for sure a good cobbler can do it…

[nikkiong]

hey mates i have two quick qns! 1) does the double mid sole option increase the height of the heel? 2) is the vibram700 sole more sustainable and tougher than a 700 half sole? thanks in advance!

[Bluegrass]

The double sole would increase the height of the heel by the width of the 2nd sole… it keeps everything in proportion - the whole boot is elevated by the width of the 2nd sole.  I can't speak to the sustainability of the soles - i have the commando 1/2 sole on one of my boots but I haven't worn them long enough to comment.

Lil LP + brushing…

Bummerrrrrrrrrr….

[derivative666]

They are boots not to worry

[tigerpac]

There's an interesting SD build on White's ebay auctions:

The description only says "burgundy leather", but doesn't mention what type of leather it is. Calf? Water Buffalo? Seems to be very glossy and the colour has a beautiful depth. Also, the toe cap is interesting. It has that dark burnished look that is quite popular on "fashion" boots and which I normally don't like. I think it's pretty cool here. Could that be a new option - burnished dress toe cap?

What do you think? btw that pair is way too small for me. But I am thinking about a pair of SDs in the near future;-)

[Bretro_]

I think those are water buffalo. That combo is insanely sharp

Hope I’m wrong, but those look like cordovan…

[theorocks]

I was looking at these (there in my size ) but whats up with the in step? looks like it goes in way to far?
