White's Boots
-
Chris - you cool with sharing some sizing info when you get your SD's? thx…
Reply #1977 from Finn I wonder how long that person wore those & what was done in them. I've a pair or two of boots made out of Natural CXL & although I will admit I take care of my goods . . . they look nothing like the leather in that image. they almost look like they have been polished or something that made them darker in a pretty uniform manner.
very curious.
still trying to decide what boots to commit to . . . .
gonna see if I'm able to get more infos from the guy…give me a day or two though!
really would be interesting to know though...btw. you unsure about the make up or are you thinking about a different boot/style?

thanks for getting the additional info finn. i'm very curious about the care of those boots. although, it might just be my screen as the computer & the camera has been known to sometimes play tricks on me.
unsure about the boot i want to wear for Mega's-foot-wear-jamboroee. needs to be a pair of boots that i will wear at least three times a week for two years (no he hasn't put up any rules or anything just something i want to do). that's a hell of a commitment for me.
was thinking of going through my archives & seeing if there is anything that should be given a second shot at the spot light.
to get back on track, i have a pair of white's incoming that i have been meaning to build for some time. will post an image when they arrive & have to give big kudos to that kyle as the guy is really helpful & gets back to you pretty quickly. he's also honest about what he can & can not do which is rare.

Next two builds, as long as I dont change my mind…

Planning on either SJ or SD on semi-dress last. As far as size is considered. I have a size 9D Alden INDY, but I have a slightly above average width about E, so I think I should have sized up on it since it is just a tad bit tight in toe box. I also wear Size 9D in the Classic Red Wing Moc Toe Boot width isn't a problem since there is lots of room in the toe box. Further reference sizes:
10 in Nike runners
42 in CP
9.5 in ClarksI am thinking 9E would be good. Your further input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

well, I am a 10.5 in Nike trainers. I brannock at a 10. My Whites are a 10 and I have a thumbs width of room up front when standing. I would not want anything smaller. I suggest doing the fitting method that White's and Bakers do, and sending the results to them.

Epic collection you have there! I feel pressure to play it safe and go monotone, but part of me wants to make my Bounty Hunters like the two toned Flat Heads. I like the lace toes too…..and the cap toes. I love these kind of decisions..
-
I agree, these are the best kind of decisions to have to make.
I have done the crazy boot make up, for my next boot I wanted something that I can truly wear every day, in every occasion, so I have gone monotone.

After 8 weeks, the wait is over.
White's 6" Bounty Hunters

Shane, you mean, mean man. This is one of the best looking boots I´ve ever seen. Whats the price for those?
Thanks!
-
Thanks man. They were around $400.
-
Sounds about the right price to me. If you don't start adding stuff like liners, cap toes, and double midsoles they really are quite reasonable.
-
Surprises me, I thought they would have been cheaper than that.
-
I just did Shanes build on Bakers and got $454 :-\
