White's Boots
-
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
-
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.

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.

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.

i need a new whites store/shop that can entertain me and a good price. bakers doesnt reply to my mail and ultrasound fucking jacked up their price by 25% god damn it
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.
