White's Boots

nicecrackaction

the sole bit is easy. just don't go for the composition half-sole. all other options go from front to back.

supersalami I believe my rising sun is made from french calf leather. I love it because its different from the ones I have in my Vibergs and softer from the beginning.

how do they fare against a little scuffing? i've been told they're really thin and delicate.. I'm afraid they won't hold up when I use them and get fecked real fast and bad

@palma:

How do you specify that you want the rubber outersole to continue at the arch from the front to the back like it shows here. I thought it was called the Half Slip, but apparently not? A lot of White's boots I see rubber on just the heel and the front, but not always the arch.

Best is you try one on. VMC Roger's linesman julian boot looks actually pretty nice scuffed and used. I am not babying my shoes but also do not unnecessarly mess up a shoe in this price category. I think the leather holds up pretty well in my everyday life. And I like the elegant touch of the leather. Suggest to contact demonito he has a lot of knowledge.

tatmantall

since it appears that the hopes of getting 4 people to agree on the same viberg has fell off into the abyss, and I am in desperate need of another pair of boots to give my indys a break once in a while…. I believe I may be investing in a pair of white's. Thinking somehting similar to what is 2 posts up ^

Just checking, for the average 6" bounty hunters with plain toes how long would the laces be? Thinking of getting myself a few pairs of laces

Has anyone done a Whites build with steel toes? I'm hesitant to include this feature but it would open them to all work environments for me. Not a fan of the way the steel toe in my current work shoes creases them.

Is there any deformation in the leather because of the steel toe? Is it comfortable ?

Here they are after 3 months. Comfortable… idk I have nothing else to compare to. But they haven't caused me any walking difficulties or any difficulties at all actually.
