      Couldn’t pass up the sale at Baker’s and put an order in for my first pair of White’s, some Ramblers in distressed roughout. Hoping the sizing works out…now just have to wait. Thanks to all the posters in this thread for leading the way and providing so much great information. Looking forward to these boots!

          @Nkwkfld I think I prefer without on these, but I’ve really come to like the kilties too. Great looking boots…love the leather combination

              I also like the kilties.

                I like them on boots with a lace pattern that sits higher.  The ones that lace down to the toe, not so much.  I also think worn, curling ones look better than flat new ones.  Yours check both boxes, go for it!

                  Took the consensus of forum responses and added a different lace

                    Really looks great.  Mind me asking what leathers you have on these?

                      CXL brown and CXL natural. These are an @EastWest Apparel special make up

                        Wow @EastWest has some great stuff…thanks for the heads up. I really like the build you have here. Wondering how you like the Vibram 700 sole?

                          My first time with the sole and it is great. Feels more solid than the double leather, good grip but no lugs for stuff to get stuck into, bit of cushion, pretty good.

                            After hemming and hawing and ordering from Bakers we motivated @Kirk to bump his sales thread for 9.5D Bounty Hunters.  I jumped on them right quick and they are perfect.  Thanks so much Kirk!

                              @Matt  Dude those look fantastic. What a score. I must have been sleeping and didn’t see those or I would have made a play. Sizing just right?  I know you were going back and forth.

                                Perfect.  Division Rd tried to put me in an 8.5 and I felt sketchy about that.  I filled out the questionnaire on the Whites site and it suggested a 9E.  I went to try some Smokejumpers on and they all felt awful.  So when I ordered from Bakers during the sale I talked to someone who said don’t overthink it, just go with your RW size.  Boom, he nailed it.

                                  Do any of you have an opinion on lace length?  These are very long and have to wrap around the ankle once.  I’m inclined to cut them but wanted to ask here first in case the extra length could serve a purpose I didn’t think of.

                                    Don’t know about the laces but I’m happy to hear about the sizing. I did an order with Baker’s and went with RW sizing as well. Still nervous but less so now. How’s the arch feel?

                                      Not bad at all.  If I had sized down I don’t think it would have hit my arch the right way so if you do end up with extra toe room keep the arch length in mind.  @Nik provided some excellent guidance on how to analyze a Brannock measurement.  He told me to go with the longer of the two lengths between foot length and heel to arch length.  I went 1/2 down from that and got right where I needed to be.  But don’t let that confuse you further.  Same as your RW should be good.

                                        Not an opinion, more like a personal preference.  I always have enough lace length to wrap around the top of my boots one time.

                                          Adding to my previous post above…Wrapping the laces around does create patina on teacore, CXL, and rough out leathers.  Most will never see it, but it still looks cool!
