White's Boots

-
If I had Chosen my adress (not my parent's) I would have gotten them today already. I'm speechless. Might get them til the end of the week!
-
Received my White's Oxfords today. Couldn't be happier with the fast shipping and Service provided by Kyle. 10,5E seems to fit perfect from the quick try-on. Will post proper pics later.

Nice score & great for warmer weather.
-
Thank you. Will give it a thought. Here are better pictures. The left one fits perfect, the right one has a bit heel slip. But I'm sure they'll get awesome over time.
-
Here are mine, nearly two years old.
-
Indeed they do! How much wear did they get? I'm a bit worried about the sole wearing off too fast.
-
I destroyed the soles on mine in 18 months, the Vibergs I have with the same sole are also showing the same signs of wear. I'm hoping the Armortread soles from Wesco hold up better to be honest.
-
Same here. Will replace the 2012 sole with a Vibram Morflex. The 4012/Christy/Crepe Sole holds up better.

You might want to hold that itch a while, something is in the pipeline

After some spring cleaning.. Love the little shine on these..

First post, I’ve read every single page of this thread, it's been the most informative, thank you to the few members I PMed.
I'll keep this short. I ordered a pair of White's Semi-Dress from Amazon, size 10.5D. I sent tracings to Baker's and to White's, both coming back with different numbers. Based on that and what I read on this forum and a couple of members I talked to here, I went with my own size, the 10.5D based mostly on one thing, my sneaker size. I'm a 10.5 UK or 11.5 US in all athletic shoes, this includes Nike, Asics, Mizuno, Adidas, Brooks. I wear this size in all of my athletic shoes. In Converse Chuck Taylors I wear a 10.5.
I'm not a boot expert but right out of the box these are my first impressions - Feels like a pretty damn good fit. Very minor heel slippage. Very minor. Nice toe room, fits nice and snug, not too tight at all, not too big. The only thing that does seem off is right in the middle of the foot on the inside it seems like it could be a bit wider, maybe I could have gone with a 10.5E, or is this normal? I wonder if this would make the boot too wide altogether? So, as far as the fit, for now, it feels good. Guess I'll have to break it in.
I believe this is the Chromexcel. Yes, it surely does "bruise" quickly. Even upon first tying the boots the leather is already changing. My questions - pretreatment recommendations? Sole recommendations? My cobbler only stocks really crummy, thin, off-brands so I will try to find something online and take it in to him.
Thanks for the thread everyone. It saved me. Sorry for the bad pics, I'm no Ansel Adams.

They look great and should conform more to your feet quite quickly in the mid foot tightness isn't too bad. In terms of soles, I am guessing that you are in the UK, so I would contact the Shoe Healer (http://www.shoehealer.co.uk) to discuss options.
