        I drank too much a week or so ago, and ended up spilling something sticky on my boots (fireball shots I think).  I cleaned them real good with water and then let them dry, and buttered them up with Red Wing boot oil.  They are quite a bit darker, but they are soft and buttery and nice.  That is my old lady's foot in the 2nd pic  :-*. I have worn the shit out of these boots since I got them and they just get better and better…

                      Yeah, can't say I'm happy with that.

                      Danner isn't even close to Whites. Maybe Danner will learn something from Whites though.

                        It remains to be seen what the effect will be, but the empirical evidence of ABC Mart's purchases to date is not encouraging. White's have always been my go to boot company, I'm hoping that this does not change that.

                            Are y'all assuming they build upon the domestic plant? It could be that they convert it into a large scale industrial operation or even nix the whole damn thing. Either way, this is almost certainly bad news for enthusiasts.

                            Think it, be it.

                              They COULD do any number of things, such as…

                              • Leave well alone after a small increase in capacity to keep White's as the flagship range.

                              • Open up production facilities in other parts of the country and significantly modernise the process to save money resulting is worse product.

                              • Stick a White's label on any old foreign made tat and milk the brand name as long as they can.

                              Either way, many of the options do not look palatable.

                                If I'm Nick's I'm looking at this as a golden opportunity to capture some of their rival's enthusiast fan base. They might want to look into getting a wider array of leathers.

                                  They might want to start by dropping their lead times from 20-24 weeks to something a little less insane.

                                    Yeah… some of that could depend on what happens to White's. If there's suddenly some extra manufacturing capacity in Spokane they can hire/buy, then perhaps they can address that.

                                      A crap.  😞 I wanted to order a pair of Nomads at the end of the year. Hopefully things won't change that fast for the worse.

                                      It only took them 6 weeks from my order at Baker's to make and deliver my custom classic work boots in february / march.
