White's Boots

[TH3515]

Thank you 4c and Mega, that's very useful info.

In the meantime, after spending a few more hours looking at pictures of boots, I have changed my mind on another important point. Now leaning more towards black dress leather.

Leather 1: Black Dress
Toe Vamp Leather: Black Dress
Toe Cap Leather: Black Dress
Celastic Toe Box: Single
Safety Toe: No Thanks
Upper (Shaft) Leather : Black Dress
Leather Liner: Tan
Back Stay Leather: Black Dress
Pull Loop: No
Eyelet Color: Nickel
Sole Trim: Standard Trim
Eyelet Configuration : Hook and Eyelet
Lace: Leather
Sole: Vib 269
Half Slip: No
Heel Shape: Curve
Heel Height: Standard
Last: Standard
Midsole: Standard
Midsole/Edge Color: Brown

Brown midsole edge looks weird in buildaboot but I've seen a few excellent pics of it on a black boot…

Sounds like a classic boot, you'll be pleased with them.

[Bluegrass]

TH, brown edge looks great with black boots in my opinion… I think you've got a winner scoped out.

And speaking of classic boots, love these ^

[4c]

^ Couldn’t agree more

Thanks gents, they are real attention getters and are more comfortable by the day!

Good day for toecaps…

[TH3515]

Very nice! Good colour, and it goes very well with your…um...dashboard carpet?

btw - is that a W123?

[4c]

Thanks! Yep, I got my boots to match my dashboard carpet.
It's a W123– good eye.

Is that navy CXL? I was quite sure when I saw it on my office monitor. Now on my Sony piece of trash android phone the leather looks greenish…

Drove a W123 230E for a few years, it was actually navy blue:-)

I can see why you're sitting in the passenger seat though. White's are not ideal for driving, unless it's a truck or a tractor. My size 13 Farmer Ranchers are so wide that it's impossible for me to drive with a manual transmission.

[4c]

They’re navy CXL; this leather turns greenish with wear because the natural tan of the leather shows threw. My SDs are actually pretty good for driving this roomy German taxi.

A couple of custom boots for a customer, not for everyone or the faint hearted but he was pleased! A lot of shit being kicked around the UK at the moment ; )

[Giles]

Japanese customer per chance?

[EastWest]

Definitely not British by birth but non Japanese…...either way a biker!!

[injunjack]

Not all bikers like tractor soles…..some of us have taste, some even great....I might not though...

[Anesthetist]

Nice leather choices though.

I do like bullhide for boots.  Is that gray on the vamps of the Semi-Dress?

[EastWest]

It's Moongrey bullhide and the last is the 461.

Injun, I like the tractor reference for the soles, might have to pinch that for descriptions
