White's Boots

[Jordonf9]

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.

Baker Shoe's doesn't ship internationally - right?
Can't find any informations regarding this on their homepage.

I've bought from Baker's before, I'm in the UK, around $50 if I recall.

@Jordonf9 I really love the "arch ease" arch support.  White's are my most comfortable lace ups by far… of course opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one.

i agree my Whites are not the best looking but are my most comfortable boots.

Bakers are great.  Their customer service is great and Kyle is very helpful.

Love my Whites.  Burgundy chromexcel bounty hunter, black and red bull hide lace to toe bounty hunter, British tan with toe cap chromexcel semi dress.  The semi dress fit 1/2 size longer than the bounty hunter.  Should have asked for the bounty hunter last.
