White's Boots
-
Ditto to what Nuffsaid said… I am currently "ate up" with engineer boots and I WILL be getting some soon, but still very much undecided. The advantage (for me) of White's is the sizing is a slam dunk, I love the arch ease, and of course they will be high quality - so it's all about the aesthetics/appearance. I'd love to see more detailed pics of Nomads if anyone has some, i.e. profile, toe shape, soles, etc. There are a just a lot of great engineer boots out there - as Tat, McClain, Finn and others can attest to.

Not sure you can tell those are lined or not, but I wouldn't line those boots if it were me.
-
CXL doesn't require lining.

Just got a shipping confirmation from Baker's for a new pair of Natural CXL Nomads. Only ordered them 5 weeks ago so I hope it's for real. Double mid, soft toe.

Cool, pics please!!! A pair of engineers is up next for me, but wavering between White's, Wesco or "other". But I love the way White's fit - that is a big plus.

The Commando Sole looks so great and comfy. Need a boot with it.
