White's Boots

[summ3rhays]

Mega those are some great looking boots!

[JCMx800]

Mega, do they have a lowered heel?
And yes, your BH´s are very beautiful!!!

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, and no the heel is standard.

@Megatron1505:

But double midsole, right?

I want to do the inverse of yours, with the roughout on the toe and black cxl on the uppers, like the SD's pictured on p. 145 of this thread.

Never thought about the toe-cap, though; do they make toe caps in roughout leather? Can't recall if I've ever seen one.

[Megatron1505]

Yep, double midsole. You should contact Kyle at Bakers to see what custom options they can offer you.

[Bluegrass]

That is a great build plus they are looking better and better as they break-in.  Nice!

If I could make up my mind. Every time I look at this thread, I see something else I like.

Has anyone ever seen distressed roughout with natural cxl? The distressed ro looks a little redder than the cxl in pics.

Damn, that two-tone roughout is a nice build!!

That's the desert sand roughout, isn't it?  I really like that one, especially with the honey lug sole.

To whom it may concern (e.g. those waiting for boots!) I checked in with Kyle on the White's I ordered 7 weeks ago and was told another 2-3 weeks.  8 weeks was bad enough but what can ya do?

Damn, that sucks. I ordered my boots March 28th and UPS says they will be here this Thursday, which will be exactly 8 weeks from order to door.

[tigerpac]

Now you're making me feel really bad, ordered mine on March 29th!

[Bluegrass]

I got mine TODAY and I got the shipping notice 10 weeks from my order date - plus another week give or take to get here, so it was 11 weeks from order to sitting on my door step. I plan to open them up and get a look in a bit :).  These are from Baker's.

[Bluegrass]

OK, new boots!

Leather or nylon laces?? Hmmmmmm.  Nylon definitely easier to use.  Had a little trouble getting the leather to stay in the hooks.

Fit is perfect - but will have to get used to the pronounced arch.  Even though these are single sole, unlined and soft toe, they are still heavier than I expected.  Not a bad thing - I'm just surprised how substantial these boots are.  Basically they ROCK.  Very happy, worth the long wait.

[JCMx800]

Leather!!

[JayDee]

Hey Bluegrass, which leather is that, maybe natural CXCL? They are so "shiny"…

[Finn666]

^ should be natty cxl, yes!
oh, and I vote for leather laces as well.

[rocket]

yeah leather and it will get easier to "handle" with some use…

[summ3rhays]

Amazing boots there Bluegrass!
