      I'll get to it (eventually)! Polar Vortex is telling me otherwise but give me a month or two 😉 Beating up some taller boots given the weather…

        Aho, thx for the extra photos. Really, really digging these

        Speaking of British tan; here are some really cool captoe SDs on the C461 last; a makeup I hadn't seen before till today. Thought I would share. This last appears to have a pointier but fuller toe box than the #55. The more and more I look at boots on this last, the more intrigued I am. Not sure how I feel about the bump toe, but it's a pretty striking design IMO

          I agree, it's a good look. I also like it on LTT SJ's (ex. Ultrasound build):

            Found a pair of White's on eBay that might be my size, but I've never tried them before. Wondering if I should take the plunge or not.

              In a year. Can't seem to clean off the dirt anymore. They seem to have seeped into the leather. Do you guys think its time for a trip back to White's for some refurbishing?

                  Nah, those are still in good shape.  No need to send them back until it's time to resole them.

                      What are you doing to try to clean them?

                        I'm using some foam leather shoe cleaning solution. Am able to get rid of the stains on the crepe sole but not the leather.

                          If it's really bothering you, some saddle soap and then a decent conditioner should help. Be sure to condition after using the saddle soap.

                            I just dropped my oxfords off with a local cobbler who claimed that he could "make" me a black wedge sole which is far more durable than anything that vibram offer. Already preparing to throw them in the bin as soon as they are returned  😠

                                    To be fair, after a close inspection of my Oxfords, they were so destroyed that I can chance the guy having a practice on them. If he's any good I'll let him re-heel my Bounty Hunters.

                                          After wearing them for a few days I sent them back to have a heel lift added. With the -1/4 heel it felt like I was tipping back in the boots. Since I got them back with the standard height it feels much more natural.
