White's Boots

@Seul:

d666: man you produce more hardcore shots than a man who's worked for Hustler for 40 years…

Seriously true.  The shots just keep coming endlessly.  I always wonder what else can possibly be sitting in that closet??!!

[Seul]

I'm sure he has a live T-Rex and a working timemachine in it, for starters…

Yea, CXL doesnt like motorcycles.  On the inside of the heel area it will also rub, depending on your bike style.  I have a SV650, and thats where I get the majority of my wear.  The gear selector is also a danger area, liek Mega said.  I remedied that by cleaning it and padding it a bit with some rubber.  My boots were still unhappy so I stopped using them for riding.

I have tried to read through the past 120+ pages and goggled for answers but I figured I should ask this here to confirm.

I know a bounty hunter is essentially a SJ on a SD last.
So an SJ on any other last would not qualify it as a BH ?

Does the lace configuration or boot height affect it being a true BH then.

Looking to configure a new whites and am leaning towards a BH.

Thanks

A Bounty Hunter is an SH on an SD last, any other last is still an SJ. The height and lace config makes no difference.

Go to Bakers, select "custom Bounty Hunter", and go through all the options.

@Megatron1505:

The Whites Oxfords fit slightly bigger than Red Wings, stay with an 8.5 in my opinion.

Yo Mega, thanks for your post! Do you know if Bakersshoes ships to Europe?

Trying not to crowbar this in but my website specialising in White's only for now is pretty much live apart from a few changes and tweaks but I will have the build a boot options there. I'm based in the UK so if you wanted to order through someone in Europe please get in touch and I can price a boot for you if of interest. Will put the website address up next week anyway.

Cheers.

Jamie.

Nice socks Giles…....

[derivative666]

[Giles]

And five times better….

How do you like the feel of the White's G? That arch ease can be something to get used to!

[Giles]

No problems whatsoever from the get go.  But the, my feet are not exactly normal….

[seawolf]

No problems here either. I rather like the support that the white's provide. It's unlike any other shoe imho. Glad they're working out for you.

Hahaha. Awesome. I want some classic work boots in all Whale Penis leather. Gonna look hard as feck

[Chris]

Agreed.  On Tuesday, I'm calling every bootmaker I know to see if they can track down whale penis leather for my next pair of boots…

EDIT: I just like saying whale penis leather.  I'm going to see how many posts I can mention it before the amusement wears off for me.
