White's Boots
-
Order placed!
-
Here are my three pair of White's:
Semi Dress in black Horween Chrome Excel with a single leather outsole, Cuban heels.
Then two pair of Bounty Hunters, both with Cuban heels.
6" medallion toe cap in brown Dress leather with white liners and half soles. All eyes with no hooks.. I am not a fan of hooks.
And my newest.. 7" Bounty Hunters, but lace to toe and also full eyes. It makes it take a lot longer to put them on and take them off, but I find it easier to tension and more comfortable. Plus they just look better IMHO. These ones are also black Crome Excel, with black leather lining.
They all look really clean still as I take super good care of them. Brushed after every wear, then treed to rest.

They look great! How do These run sompared to other boots you have? I'm still contemplating getting those or another pair of Oxfords.
-
They are a nice pair, the sole works nicely on the c461, nice choices. @Max Power if your Oxfords are D width you'll want to size down a half size. The Oxford last is narrower than any others.
-
Thank you! It's an E width…so should I go for the same size and width?
-
@Max Power I'd go same size but stick with a D personally, the last is more generous than the Oxfords and as they are stitch down they will always give in width quickly if snug to begin with.
-
Perfect, thanks!
-
great boot @Beerhammer I always liked that french calf

They are really impressive. The 641 last has the bridge width of the whites i have in the swing last but with a more sculptured toe. So basically they are just as comfortable as a swing last without the mickey mouse look.
My experience with whites boots is that they run wide. I am an E width in wescos but with whites usually purchase a D.
One thing ill say is the british tan is gorgeous and has a really high depth of color that i imagine will patina beautifully.
