White's Boots
-
i like leather laces on my Oxfords, not so on my SD's, I am afraid. They are simply too loud, I think.
I will try my luck at a few local makers again to find the right pair of laces. -
anyone interested?

Are those Bigfoot's boots? 11FF?
That's someone who should have sent a foot tracing.

damn! cats paw soles!
@TF, at your request.
My White's SD, owning about 4 years, wear unknown, haven't kept track they're in my everyday boot rotation.
What I really like about these is that the block heel is flush with the boot, whereas so often the White's block overhangs so far off the back… Was this a special request? Just luck? A different sole than original?
It's what I'd like on the pair I am ordering soon...

How long was your wait?
-
Roughly 6 weeks then by my quick math. The wait is already bugging me and I put my order in last Friday. Very impatient.

@www.bakershoe.com:
The picture shows:
Distressed rough out leather
Vibram 2021 sand sole
Natural EdgeDoes the Distressed Smooth really looks that bright?
Here it looks a lil darker:
-
The White's Engineers (a line called Nomad which is a relatively new line) look quite nice…
Brown CXL:
Distressed RO (also looking quite light in colour here JCMx800)
Really liking these in distressed ro

These were resoled by a cobbler in NY, so indeed a completey different sole from the one White's uses.

jesus, I never liked engineers until I joined this forum and now I see so many I
my eyes have been opened to so much

Does anybody have any experience in either the White's Cougar(northwest last) and White's Smoke Jumper(semi-dress last) on either the Vibram 2021/4014 sole?
I'm specifically interested in the arch support provided by the northwest last and/or Smoke Jumper(BH) with a Vibram 2021/4014 sole. Also, how the arch support fares with a wedge sole as opposed to the same last but with a cuban heel.
I currently have a Bounty Hunter, so Smoke Jumper w/ semi-dress last, but with a Vibram half composition sole. I love the arch support the boots provide and am interested in picking up another pair, only with a vibram 2021/4014 sole.
Thanks
