White's Boots
-
I was looking at these (there in my size ) but whats up with the in step? looks like it goes in way to far?
-
The mid sole at the instep hasn't been trimmed in close enough, even the beloved Viberg do it as well sometimes, looks weird but an easy fix at a cobblers or someone whose bloody nifty with a belt sander. That's why its worth starting off with a natural edge and having it colours after any trimming you might like/ need.

What's the black otter leather? I'm assuming that it's not actually otter, but I know what happens when you assume.

I've always thought that leather looked interesting. Really curious to see how this turns out, urb.
Here's a sample, Chris:

I have no idea whether it's real otter or not. I just like it because it's a little more matte and pliable than the standard Black Dress but still leagues ahead of the CXL.

I once talked to a bootmaker who told me, "if you can kill it, you can make boots out of it." I've seen boots made from fish skins, frog skins, and cow stomachs. Nothing would surprise me, but I agree, real otter seems unlikely.
-
There wasn't a price mark up for the leather so I'm assuming it's just a gimmicky name.

Yeah, I was going to guess that it's treated with silicone or something to make it more water resistant, you know, since otters are water animals. Guess we'll find out when you get them in a month or two.
