Tinman, can't wait to see your set up 

Those Whites above….....not loving the christy, again

[TinMan]

Ron,
Is the Arch Ease still hurting your feet….. or do you have them broke in?

Mega, I will get pics up as soon as they arrive.

what sole is that? i like the thick mashmallow sole

[TinMan]

I think it is the vibram 2021

The soles on those boots remind me of…..

…..and not in a good way.

Tinman, i think it got a lot better. Can easily wear them out for the whole day.

But i still feel a bit of pain after one whole day or walking. I guess this is unavoidable due to my flatfoot..

[TinMan]

Mega this is a pic of the christy wedge.  The sole on the oxfords and that black roughout boot is a 2021 and it's an industrial comfort slash walking sole.  It is not as dense as the christy.  At least that is what my research is telling me….

Is there a good way to be reminded of this?
Yikes.

TM, I hear ya, and I dislike them both 

I have nothing against a white, wedge sole on less costly boots, but they wear too easily to be on boots this expensive in my opinion. I have the christy sole on my Abingtons, and something similar on my Wolverines…...but never on my Whites.

Having said that, the resole price from Whites is very, very good, and the christy looks good on the oxfords, but as a rule...never !!!

Whites smoke jumpers, brown oiled leather

[madmonday]

that oiled leather is something  special, i'm not a fan of that boot makeup, but that leather looks really nice & the boot looks to be great quality.  i also like the natural wooden bits, really compliments that leather.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks M, I also wasn't overly impressed with Smoke Jumpers until I saw a pair in the flesh. They're really a boot that has to be seen/ worn to be loved.

You talking about the sole/heel portions?  That's not wood, it's just natural leather with a high polish.  It looks a lot like wood when it hasn't been stained.

You need a Christy wedge for those Mega :o I like those a lot!

Awesome pair of boots! Leather looks nicely broken in too, pictures like this are pushing me ever closer to buying a pair - how do you find them size-wise? I'm a UK10 and reckon that US10.5 would be the right size for SJ's, but possibly even a US10 would fit if they run very large?

[Megatron1505]

US10 in Smoke Jumpers would almost certainly be the ones to go for, maybe even still a little large. I am also a UK10, and these (and my SD's) are US9.5, the fit is perfect for me, but I do have quite narrow feet.

I could wear a US10, and if I were to purchase again, that is the size that I would go for.

Baker's doesn't reply to your email?!I'm shocked! Their customer service is usually so good. I emailed Kyle on his day off, and he CALLED me to discuss my order, on his DAY OFF!

I'm sorry your experience with them wasn't good. Give 'em another chance.
