White's Boots
-
Ahh ok. Thanks G-San.
I understand and respect different likes and dislikes that variations makes a wonderful and colorful place.
Personally the christy and not the ripple sole can be too stiff when worn. And the restrictions to not be able
to flex my feet is not pleasing to me. So, I will not personally have that on any future MTO boots.As for ripple sole some may associate the look to snickers that they are wearing ever since. Also it does performs as should. They are comfortable as well. But most probably will give a resole when needed with 'proper' sole. Having said that, if I like the design and leather on a boot that comes with ripple sole I may buy it but not the Christy which is on my viberg.

i take them on a case by case basis, silly to "hate" at least for me.
pretty sure i've stated my take on them before there was even an un-pop thread, look it up
I might have you beat on first "I hate the Christy sole" post…
(From the Tricker's thread)
@Chris:IMO, everything looks better without the wedge sole.
(From the Converse thread)
@Chris:About the only other footwear that I dislike as much are Clark's desert boots and boots with a white wedge sole. I also really dislike moc toes on boots. Which puts me at odds with about 95% of the folks on this forum and SuFu…

@aho, killer lace to toes!!! Black cxl on the standard SJ last?

@Bluegrass, yup, both are soft toe/no celastic!

I'm sure my Whites are fine just pull them out of the snow and get them to me.

^Sorry sir, you have too many White's and we needed to save some for others. We are not sure when your package will arrive.
Haha, I sold off a few pairs. I only have one pair of Whites, a pair of Vibergs and a pair of Russell Moccasins.
But I do have two pairs of Whites on the way…"Sorry Sir, we can't seem to find your White's in all this bloody snow…"
They are Red Dog leather so…

Ill probably be pulling the trigger on some whites this week. Likely pick up a pair of the black cxl oxfords and custom rip-off of these:
Thinking about subbing the leather for brown and black french calf, What do you guys think? I enjoy polishing my shoes and boots to a high shine so its rather french calf or dress leather. You guys have any pics or ideas about pros and cons?
