Actually I was going for black roughout on my next pair as well. ^^ this pair looks awesome.

[Finkster]

Agreed! - awesome black RO's …
A pair of White's is still absent in my boots collection.  reflection

Go for them, you won't be disappointed.

[riffblaster general]

My SJ's are distressed rough out so I'm not sure I want another pair in that leather.  I was eyeing up the black cxl with black soles on the bakers site too and I really like those.  Too many choices!

White's are so comfortable - the "arch-ease" is genius imo.  Most comfortable boots I own by far.

ok… now i need sizing advice guys.  I have a 9D in the SJ but I'm gathering that the Oxford fits very differently.  Generally get a 9-9.5 in RW (9 with no added insole, 9.5 with).  9 in Alden TruBalance.

any and all advice appreciated @Max Power @Megatron1505 @JCMx800

I can only advice I'm a 10,5E in the Whites Oxfords. All my RW's are 10,5D, my Viberg Service Boots are a 10. Hope this helps.

I am a 8.5 in SJ SD and the Oxford last

[Megatron1505]

@riffblaster general , the oxfords fit about half a size up from SD's Nate.

[riffblaster general]

Thanks guys

Riff, agree with Mega above, length is similar but a D is narrow so half size up or 1 width wider.

thanks.  my pair of SJ's is actually the distressed roughout pair you did with no toebox in a 9D.  What do you recommend for the oxford?

[EastWest]

Stay the same length, just wider, E should give you enough. The thick distressed leather with the 2021 makes it so stiff to begin with but with Black RO they should be a bit more pliable out of the box. 9E.

White's Bakers Oxfords Smooth Distressed Rough Out, worn around 1 year.

[EastWest]

Always great to see a pair with wear Max.
