        I don't know what to make of this modification.

        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….

          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?

                    Brown Dress BH broken in nicely, love them.

                      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.

                              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?

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

                                      Added another pair since then, with another pair on order.

                                      Black SJs, steel toe, Vibram 100, lined.  7.4 lbs aka door breachers.

                                            Yes, very nice. Especially the cap toe boots.

                                            They are much like my "work boots" - nicely polished for my bike ride to the office.
