White's Boots

[ElChingon7]

Brown Dress BH broken in nicely, love them.

Love the brown dress…

^^ Very cool.  Nice to see the brown dress on Bounty Hunters for a change rather than just SDs.  Looks great.

My interest in White's Begins to re-ignite. Might be posting some stupiud questions the next days…. Can anybody compare the black leathers in Terms of weight & quality? I'm looking for a heavyweight hide, preferably not too shiny or structured, so Bullhide is ruled out.

Black smooth or waxed rough out
Or the black silicone, ask the urbanwoodsman

Black dress is what you need Flo, it's tough can take a shine or be dulled down, hard wearing, versatile and breaks in beautifully. My favourite boot leather ever!

My Bounty Hunters in black dress and rough out, just over a year of wear.

Looking good with wear Mega and congrats on your court jestre management appointment! Max, Black Dress lined or oil tan/ smooth or cxl if you're happy to give them some love from time to time. Black otter is v nice as well but quite stiff to begin with.

How does black CXL age? My brown CXL Indy boots scratch easily and show up a lighter brown. What colour comes through when the black equivalent takes knocks?

^Light Brown! Leather is not deeply coloured.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Thanks gents!

Some Features I want:

6-7" height
"Bump" Toe or the like, not a flat one
Standard heel size, maybe like the one Jordan posted, but only one layer of leather
Curved heel
Not sure about the sole yet, simple and just a little profile would be best

All These Options can get quite confusing…Would the Classic Work boot be my best Option?

[EastWest]

For a bump toe max the work boot/ c461 last is the best option, it can vary on the SD last.

Thanks again!

Max… ditto what he said.

I like the c641 last, I have it on the classic dress (semi-dress upper).  I wish I'd gotten the work boot/bounty hunter style upper, though.

I know there are a lot of folks who don't like cxl, but I like it (i have cxl boots in natural and burgundy) - and my friend keeps his black cxl nomads all buttered up with obenauf's and it is just so rich, soft and nice.  not recommended for work boots or fire-fighting and such but for normal wear around town I like it.

This is a 6" classic work boot in burgundy cxl i copied over from ultrasound Facebook...

Here is a pair of cougar's in black dress for another look at that leather…

Max you want the smoke jumper plain toe, in a 7 or 8" not the semi dress or bounty hunter. the smoke jumper has more of a bump toe than the other options.

Thanks for all the input! The work boots above would be pretty much what I like in terms of shape. Now I have to decide between White's and Vibergs…not too easy.
