White's Boots

[SpaceGnome]

glad you got the 3 leathers past them.  Having CXL on the heel is one of the only regrets with my build, as it gets banged up pretty bad.  That natty CXL ages great, it'll be brownish before you know it.

They look a lot better than I thought they would, and that natural CXL is quite stunning, I imagine it'll develop so much character. It's got me wondering how it would look on a build the same as G's two-tone SJ's, where it would be used instead of the distressed smooth…...or just a two-tone combo with brown dress.

My wish list for White's boots grows ever longer...

[pillowPANTS]

Look awesome shane i want a pair even more now. I also (wagonjumper) really like the nat cxl dude …...and I would say no false tongue on those ones

[Moonshine]

Nice build, Shane!  And I'm pro false tounge!

I think they forgot to give the boots the close trim? They look the same as all my White's. I thought there should be only one row of stitching. Beautiful boots regardless

I don't know. Thankfully, I like the two rows of stitching.

close trim vs standard.

It might just be the resolution on my iPhone, but I can't see the difference?

Those are very nice Shane! I'd probably go for something like that if I'd get a pair of Whites.

Def Yay for the Kilty, aka False tongue.

It's only a few millimeters and one of the seams which is half hidden anyway is gone in the left one. It does make a difference for the overall impression of width however.

Could someone please let me know which custom boot, in which last (i think last is the right term) would best suit the use of orthotic insoles?  I would assume the flatter the foot bed the better, IE: not Arch Ease.  Am i right?

After 8 weeks, the wait is over.

False Tongue or No false tongue? I'm torn.

These are my favorites from the thread.  Awesome.  I normally don't like the false tongue, but with this configuration it's perfect.

I was thinking of doing the same as this except for brown semi dress where you have the black.

Do you have any pics of them on?
