Been wearing my oxfords for a few days now. I've had some recent knee injuries and nearly every shoe and boot I have has been killing my knees. These guys are literally the only pair of shoes I own that don't hurt my knees right now. That's saying something.

They are for sure but because the sole is so soft it's still pretty cushiony. Easy on the knees like a sneaker but has the rigidity of a boot so your feet don't fatigue as much.

@riffblaster:

Much prefer leather laces.

Funny you mention that… I actually bought my first pair of whites because of an ankle injury. Old North in Asheville was stocking them and I was in town to see A Place to Bury Strangers so i hobbled in and tried a pair. Ended up buying two pairs and wearing one for the rest of the night.
You're dead on with the christy sole. You should really try them with a half slip. Im actually in the process of having some of these made with a steel toe for work.
If anybody ever wondered what the british tan looks like with tan leather liners; here it is and its spectacular! Highly recommend the leather liners as the are perfectly done and a no cost option.
Oh and this happened today with my smoke jumpers…..awesome.

My pair will hit a cobbler this week to get a nice Morflex Sole.

So for anyone who has Wesco and White's….all day on the feet work, is one any better than the other? Or both great?
I love White's work boot, wish they had a cordovan or burgundy though. I am also so tempted by the upcoming walking boot Giles is getting in from Wesco.
Just found this site...anyone deal with them? They have burgundy cxl

Bought both of my pairs of White's from Baker Shoe. They're the best source for White's, imo.
I've done all day on my feet in both White's and Wesco. My pairs are too different for a fair comparison- 8" steel toe Jobmasters v. standard Semi-Dress. The Semi-Dress are always going to be more comfortable, but the Jobmasters are still good. I'd recommend either.

I can't compare Wesco @Jordonf9 as i've only tried and not all day'd in them but as you've asked about Truman as a comparison I would say construction is definitely on par, easily. The Truman are very comfortable immediately and as with White's when they are broken in they feel like you're putting slippers on, but for long day's I would go to White's every time. The arch support you get does pay off after a long stint in them.
