White's Boots
-
Has anybody tried to get their celastic toe boxes removed (Like this:
)? Have gotten tired of the looks of my single celastic toe box in my Semi Dress boots. Contacted a high profile shoemaker (self proclaimed "shoegod") here in Germany who sells Red Wings und repairs Wesco, Viberg and such. Answer: Not offering that kind of service. Is it that hard to do? Any recommendations, maybe even in Continental Europe? -
Yeah, that's a shit ton of work. A full resole would be less trouble.
In the comments, they say they offer the service for $100, plus shipping, which sounds entirely reasonable. Maybe you could get them to do it?

I ordered a pair of Oxfords through Bakers. Should be here in 4-5 months. Looking forward to wearing them in the warmer weather.

I saw that, too. Agree on the price if shipping to Taiwan is reasonable. Full resole would be fine as well but I have no clue if that attracts a shoemaker in Europe. Seems to be no standard procedure. :-
Anyway, thanks a lot! -
A US IH distributor with Whites in stock.

I don’t own a pair of oxfords, but I’ did see those drop on Friday and thought damn those are sweet. From the chonk sole to the extra half slip. I dig them a lot

Just put the order in for these bad boys with a 430 sole. Dont know what sole this picture is running. Bakers says 4-5 months but I think it will most likely be longer.

I like that build @atm23
-
Very Nice! Looks like a double midsole?

@krebsy Yes

Summer Oxfords

Custom 350c. Had the pleasure of going to the shop in Spokane this January and getting fitted. Break in seems much easier than engineers. Wore them all day right out of the box and felt great. Looking forward to the waxed flesh evo. Love the vibram 430 sole - enough traction for hiking in the rain but still a clean looking profile. Finishing details are just ok - crooked stitches and some roughness around the edges but nothing that will impact functionality and longevity. Wabi sabi.

someone mentioned white's oxfords a little bit back. my white's in natural chromexcel.
speaking of oxfords, anyone own a pair of white's pole climber oxfords? Love that shoe. -
Anyone know any places that sell all black leather laces? Looking to change the laces that came with these.
