White's Boots

@aho:
Catchgeo, you win!
Glad to see that work boots are being worn for real work; conditions my pairs will never see as I have a desk job!
How long have you had them, and do you plan on sending them back to White's for a rebuild?
ive had them a little over 4 years. i wasn't the first to have them: i bought them second hand off of eBay
Trust me, they were in a lot better shape before i got my hands on them. As to the actual age of the boot – i really have no idea. They have officially lost their waterproofness, if i stand in a puddle i get wet, so they mostly a summer work boot now -- hence i should prob. think about a resole, but honestly i don't really want to loose any of the character.
the tounges are regular leather, and the outside was rough out, but now from all the wear and oils that i work with turned back into a standard leather. the only part that still has the appearance of the rough out is the way top of the boot and around the eyelets.
i believe them to be the reddish leather that you can see in the tounge, but have never really known the true original make.

i cant justify it seeing as how i just bought a pair, but here's another pair in my size if anyone wears the same size

The boot looks lovely, but I really dont like the buckles.

G. himself has some nice buckles in the making
-
But he has decided he ain't selling them. If you want a pair, you'll need to buy a pair of Wesco from me or one of my retailers…...Sorry, not working my nuts off sourcing stuff just to grace third party stuff with beautiful components they should source themselves....
I know it won't actually make any difference to how many I sell........But there we are.....

In Germany we say "Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl", it means something like "To give a broad hint"
