    @jordanscollected  I’m interested in how this goes for you as I’ve got my first pair coming later this year. I’ve always worn some kind of insert in my boots so curious what you do. Good luck and keep us posted.

      @SKT @Nik @Matt I will definitely keep you all posted on how this goes. I feel this could be a turning point to my boots for me. a little background…

      I had a conversation with Matt a year or so ago about how I love my White's boots and want to love boots even more, but I simply didn't fall down the rabbit hole of "needing" more boot colors, styles and leather variations from more brands once I got the itch scratched in the welted world. I need to wear the one's I have more (I wear them maybe once a week), but i come up with excuses on why not to. "It's slushy so I'll wear my Merrell's, it's faster to just slip on my low top hiking shoes, let's just get out the door, etc."

      Anyhow I was having a conversation last weekend with my brother in law about nice boots and he mentioned a brand called Origin that were extremely expensive at around $350, and i realized I had a pair of White's that cost check website and doesn't mention price for fear of being called out for flexing $700 now for a pair that I hem and haw about wearing.

      Final verdict: I need to shine up these fuckers and toss some comfy insoles in them and wear the shit out of them and stop with the internal struggle.

      I live about an hour from Red Wing, MN so one would expect naturally I would have started with some Iron Rangers but no I did not. (this was a paragraph I thought fit somewhere in this conversation but it didn't so I put this in parenthesis instead explaining it).

        Wear them brother and don’t look back.  The new C350 stitchdown models are a really nice midway point between the $350 world and the $700 world.  That’s what I went with on Black Friday and I’m excited to get my feet in them.

          I struggled with the same mental hang up, but if there's a boot out there that can handle it, White's would qualify!

          Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

            I love the roughout.  No shining, no fucks given.

              This ^

              And I have finally bought into the Giles method of ”just give it shit” to almost all of the stuff I own. But it was hard for me to get there because as my wife would kindly say, I’m kind of “particular” about stuff.

                  Howdy all.  Anyone have any experience with the White's Rambler?  They look seriously cool, albeit at a pretty high price point.

                    @Qinhan I ordered a pair of these from Baker’s Boots during their recent sale so I should be able to answer this question in about 7-8 months. Seriously though I would also like to hear from anyone who has had experience with them.

                      Shined these up with some pitch blend. I took an insole from a different boot I own and it was too snug. I’m just bitching to bitch. These are awesome and I need to wear them more.

                        @jordanscollected Really man those are some beautiful boots. I’ve stolen footbeds from athletic shoes and stuck them in some of my Red Wings and it has worked pretty well. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Worth a try?

                          @SKT  Congrats on the purchase although 7-8 months is a long time to wait.  You should definitely revisit this thread after they arrive and let everyone know what they're like.  They look awesome but I'm keen to hear first hand impressions.

                          A pair in 9.5D available here for anyone that is interested (note: these aren't mine and I don't know the seller!)

                            I will definitely post some pics and impressions when they get here. Thanks for the heads up on the ones for sale on the forum. Those are my size and I actually saw them AFTER I ordered mine from Baker’s. I’m not in any hurry and it was a good deal so I’m happy to bide my time.

                                I listened to a lot of guys in this thread and just went a 1/2 size down from Brannock device. Also same as my Red Wing Iron Rangers.

                                  I can’t see where the link is supposed to go but those are probably the ones I bought if they’re 9.5D.  I also saw them after I bought from Bakers… but I snapped them up anyway.  😎

                                      Got it.  Those are not the ones I bought.  They’re pretty nice.  😎

                                      So… I was thinking with SS23 around the corner and a handful of GAH items on my radar, I’m wondering if I need two pairs.  I bought the burgundy C350 Cutters from the Bakers sale but then I got the Bounty Hunters shortly thereafter for an unbeatable price.  My wife knows about the BHs I have so that’s no sweat, but there’s no way I can convince her I got another pair for cheap enough to keep her from freaking out.

                                      I really love the roughout BHs.  Should I cancel the order?

                                        Seeing as how you love the Bounty Hunters and have upcoming items on the radar I would probably cancel. Seems like the boot itch is getting scratched. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                                          Agreed.  A good chunk of change would get freed up for the Spring.
