Just came across these, how do you guys like the suede toebox ?
Black roughout & Black Chromexcel

[Seul]

I'd like it better if it were roughout…

[georgeel]

My custom Cougars are almost there!
In fact they are the customs office, in Milan…

@Seul:

All roughout?  I'd actually go the other way- it would be better as a plain smooth boot.  With black, I feel like roughout only looks good when it's pristine.  As soon as you wear it, it gets dusty and shabby looking.

[Seul]

Nah just the suede bit…

[EastWest]

^just for info, it is rough out.

[defun]

My first pair of White's! 7" bounty hunters from Bakers in distressed smooth.

@EastWest:

Then I don't like black rough out (nor suede)…

You're drunk, stop typing.

Good idea, or horrible butchering of a good pair of boots?

They are a bit over priced for a used pair that has been cut in half. Otherwise, I'm tempted….

[Giles]

IMO they will be supremely uncomfortable.  Anything lower than 7" with a sole that thick and stiff, will result in a load of heel slip.  At least, that is my experience…

[Megatron1505]

Plus they look awful (this is my experience of awful looking White's boots, which I loved anyway) 

[Seth]

Heel slip because of the weight and lowness. Excellent point. And they look awful. I wondered if that low edge would be a pain along the rear ankle/tendons…I imagine it would.
