White's Boots

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…

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

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.

Is it possible to add leather half-slip to double midsole in White's custom build options?

Fugly. Looks completely out of proportion to the sole

Found this pic from a while back. Thinking of getting a similar BH in brown or black dress. El Chingon (or someone else) or someone else, is this a celastic or noncelastic toe with the medallion toe cap?

@ElChingon7:

Brown Dress BH broken in nicely, love them.

Bluegrass

that's def. medallion toe cap, and my guess is it's prob. celastic toe from looking at he pic. but with the toe cap it would hold it's shape pretty well either way.

Definitely medallion cap, definitely elastic toe.

^ what he said
Edit: Except *Celastic, not elastic.

Thanks, gents. I thought it was probably a celastic toe. I have a few pairs of White's, both with and without celastic. Like them both for different reasons. Am trying to decide what would work best with the medallion cap and brown or black dress leather. I guess maybe celastic, though I do wonder, per Bluegrass, if the medallion toe cap and dress leather would hold up just as well without.

With the medallion you should fine and it might take out some of the bulb! But dress leather by itself or even just with liner is not recommended, have tried it and you see every piggy move (toe). Saying that, it depends on the thickness of the batch of dress they use per boot….if that makes sense?

Thanks, EastWest, what you say makes sense. Gonna ponder it …

I have several White's with non celastic toe and they are look fine. I like the less bulbous look.
