White's Boots
-
Thank you very much Bluegrass for making so much work to answering my question! The distressed brown roughout is a very beautiful leather. The instep of my feet is low, so I think it would better fit to me.
The natty cxl version is nice too. "Somebody" should go online and build a custom pair of Nomads!
-
Those look very similar to the Road Champs to me
They look better than Road Champs, as far as I'm concerned.
-
Thanks Guys! The customization, that is a good question… At Baker's it is not possible to add a liner or another bootstyle. I'm not looking for an engineer, more in the way like a harness, roper or a farmer boot. All that is possible at WESCO, but they are so much expensive and the range of leathercolors is too small!

i have to agree…RC´s are dope, but the nomads are brilliant (especially for that price they´re running!).
-
Yes they are dope as you'd expect for $950 - but hard not to really like custom-built Nomads at $400. After I get my BHs I will think hard about a pair of White's pull-ons.
But the pair of well-worn Champs on the Mr. Freedom site is NICE http://www.misterfreedom.com/?p=1854

I have a pair of Semi-Dress without celastic toes. I don't really like the look, but they are soft and comfortable. I'll try to get a few pictures for you later this afternoon.
-
Been thinking about Nomads as well, maybe 1-2 builds from now…
Really just concerned about getting the fit perfect. Cause if you mess that up there's no tying laces tighter,etc.
-
Yeah, your only realistic option is a rebuild, which sucks if you have to do it on a pair fresh out of the box.
-
thats one of the things that keeping me away from an engineer. I think heel slip is inevitable, but I would want to minimize that . Too many factors go into a perfect fit, and im not certain a simple tracing would result in a perfect fit on the first shot.

WHITE's SmokeJumper R/O: no Celastic toe reinforcement
Ironically, [in my experience] the smoothest & most comfortable way to wear leather is a rough-out version__ single layer [ie, no lining, just sock between skins]. awesome 2nd skin feeling when sized right. .. & your foot literally slides in/out like it's buttered
Unconditioned_ fresh out of the box, no Celastic toe
Dubbed w/Obenauf LP
NOW
EastWest, here is a roughout smokejumper with the soft toe posted by BrownIcon. Personally I like it (the soft toe and the roughout). But I prefer the untreated look.

A lot of leather drink coasters…
