White's Boots

[EastWest]

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

I actually like the honey vibram soles - its different - everybody has black.  Someday I want a pair of brown dress Lace to Toe SJs with honey vibram shit kickers.  Bad ass.  Ugly cool.  I have plenty of simple, "classy" boots.

Its not so much the honey that makes them gross. I think its the combo of double mid sole AND the honey lugs. Makes the bottoms look huge like platform shoes

[ben2t]

i just love this boots!

totally agree… the doubles soles + vibram 100 = overkill

White's Classic Workboots in brown Horween Chrome Exel with Vibram 430 mini vib sole. They don't look that new anymore since that CRX leather is picking up marks faster then light.  Best boots I ever had.

Those look incredible, congrats! That a lowered or standard block heel?

Feck that, why would you even dream of doing this:

Christy Crepe can be added but are not stock and must be upcharged.

[Megatron1505]

Yeh agreed, but $249 with a Vibram mini lug, build on the Boss last and available from stock…...helloooooo 

[Megatron1505]

Although that side patch is fucking awful 

[Anesthetist]

But the price isn't…

[Bluegrass]

How would White's obtain - or be allowed to build on a "Boss" last?!? I imagine White's and Wesco are somewhat friendly rivals, co-existing in the same space and all (just guessing) - but for White's to build a boot on Wesco's proprietary last at a 1/3 of the cost seems kind of outrageous… That can't be right???
