These White's boots are new to me after a journey through the hands of both Megatron1505 and nicecrackaction.

The boots started out a different colour (1st image) but now they are a new colour (second image)

^good to see the Armageddon Boot saga continue

Walked into a Timberland outlet (gasp!) the other day and found these – at about one third of the original price:

Made in USA, Horween Leather, though nothing more specific…
I could make some fit pics as soon as I receive the shoehorn I ordered on Amazon. These are impossible to pull on without a shoehorn;-)

[TH3515]

Turns out they're almost impossible to pull on even WITH a shoehorn…
Temporarily lining the instep region with some thin plastic foil (a trashcan liner, actually) did the trick by reducing the friction between the rough leather and my socks. After my feet had slipped inside, I removed the plastic...

I had some Frye engineer boots in the past that I struggled to get on/off.  They were eventually gifted to my nephew who has a lower instep.  I hope you can work it out so these get easier to handle - good luck…

Once I have them on my feet the fit is excellent. I wore the boots all day yesterday and also walked a good distance in them. Taking them off after a long hot day was another story

Those boot wrestling matches gets old after awhile

All these talk about pre-mature wear & prospect of an early re-soling [in the other forums] prodded me to snap a couple of shots of my commandos.

Reason why I don't think much about [it] … Trickers Matrons= 5yrs;  Vibergs= 2yrs & unworn [from the NYC sample sale] :: Maltons need a re-heel & Loden Green boots re-heeled last week__ both commando sole stitches holding out valiantly … not even a single stitch breakage

RedBrick Dainite on Trickers Allan @1yr= approx no more than 3mos of wear__ stitches @sides & tips already wearing in.

Profile-wise: Commando vs Dainite__ similar, cuz the raised grips on the Commandos are indented from the sole edges.
