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

        I gather you followed the consensus view and ordered 0.5 down from your Brannock size?

            This is good advice that I should have followed with denim too

              Yes my usual boot size for boots Red Wing moc toe, engineers, Danner etc and my Chuck Taylor size is 9.5.  Everything else is 10 except Nike which is 10.5.  The 9.5 in my Whites is just right for me.  Mind you, I like a bit of room in the toe box.  Nothing crazy, I just hate when my toe touches the front.

                So White's have just updated the product page for their Rambler boots and the photos look a little different.  I'm trying to figure out if these still have an unstructured toe or not?  I definitely prefer the unstructured toe.

                    Those are looking great. Is the roughout picking up much indigo?

                      Oh yeah. I’ll get some better picks in a bit. Some of my jeans are more “giving” than others so it depends on what I’m wearing.

                              I totally love them. Between these and the bibs it’s hard to call the best score of 2022.

                                    First pair of White’s finally in the house. Ordered from Baker’s last November. Coming from Red Wings (which I still love) these things are like tanks. I can’t get over the build quality and heavy duty feel. The size is perfect (9.5D) and the same as my Iron Ranger size. I’m hoping the arch is not a problem and breaks in like everyone says. Will get better pics when I can.

                                    What’s everyone’s opinion about waxed vs leather laces? Kiltie or no?

                                      I love my custom White's. Here's my rule of thumb regarding the kiltie/lace question:

                                      Kiltie and/or leather laces for the "worker" look
                                      No kiltie and/or waxed laces for a "dapper" look.

                                      Also, when breaking in the boots, leather laces are most likely going to pressure your instep and it'll take longer to take off your boots. Waxed laces are going to secure your instep more without applying as much pressure and will allow you to take off your boots a lot easier.

                                        @cityofdelusion thanks I hadn’t thought about the pressure being different with different laces.

                                          I think I’ve settled on the leather laces with kilties to start. The addition of the kiltie actually makes them fit a wee bit better because I don’t have a lot of foot volume and they feel a bit more snug with them on. I’ve got one question for you guys though…please tell me the arch breaks down. I put in a couple hours yesterday and today and it’s like a roll of quarters in my shoe. Not painful but definitely “there”.
