White's Boots

[unharmed]

Thanks, G. Wore them all day yesterday and they're not the foot-torture devices I had heard new Whites can be tbh.

[demonito]

what leather are those? if theyre cxl yes theyre no torture device!

[unharmed]

Yes, brown CXL. Feet are still a bit sore today, mind but nowhere near as bad as I feared.

I've never felt a new pair of Whites was a torture to break in, I might have been lucky but all the ones I own/ have owned have been extremely comfortable from the first wear.

[unharmed]

I imagine it's highly dependant on the shape of your feet. Guess you and I are the lucky ones

[bubbapest]

Just bought a pair- should be here in 8 weeks.  Hopefully they come sooner, but I doubt it.

semi dress
Burgundy Chromexcel all the way through
natural midsole (only one)
vibram 430
lowered cuban heel
antique eyelets (no hooks)
standard trim
no pull tab
black leather liner
leather laces

so juiced
cannot waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit  they should come just a little before my contest jeans come in.  cannot wait to wear those two items together for the next two years

My White's were a breeze. My Wescos took about a year to break in.

Has anyone ever worn the Nomads?

Or should I just go for Wesco Boss

[demonito]

i had the nomads before but 58 panhead got it off me.  theyre great boots feels like your wearing a pair of smoke jumpers.

but id rather get the boss.

i broke in my wesco boss in black oil in 1 week.  i put pecards and heat gun maybe 3 layers innit. and walked for a week in them ( 12 hrs a day)

[riffblaster general]

Semi dress + obenauf's.

[derivative666]

^such great boots

[demonito]

why dont you try pecards?

[riffblaster general]

Because I only have obenauf's in my house?

[riffblaster general]

Id love to try it though

my boots have been aching my feet to hell my whole trip to japan.. wore them all trip long and walked in them at least 10 hours a day. they are still hard as feck…. will these ever soften up to be the comfy pair of white's they are claiming they are? or will these feel like pavement forever. Am seriously considering a re-sole... or an insole..

[Finn666]

try the insole first!…what were you expecting of that triple sole though?
with that sole, I guess even chuck Norris would have had his problems!...

i really didn't think much of it since this was my first pair of shoes with an actual leather midsole or even a leather sole.. i've only owned red wings and wolverine's that i've never really worn.. what kinda insoles would you think would work? like those comfort insoles?

[Finn666]

not a problem mate, I actually was more kidding as being dead serious about it…tbh I haven't handled a pair of whites (with that sole) at all, but I think you should grab whatever insole to make you feel comfortable while walking/wearing them...if you have some space in the boots i'd go for one of those comfy gel insoles! hope it helps...
