White's Boots

[Time12]

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.

The more I see if it, the more I'm convinced that lowering the heel on White's boots is a terrible idea, for exactly the reason you started.

My view - don't fuck with things made by people who demonstrably know what they're doing….

[Megatron1505]

^ Absolutely agree.

[Time12]

Even with hindsight being what it is, I am glad my build happened the way it did. Because I was on the fence, I think if I had gone with the standard height, I would have questioned my decision. I am glad I was able to feel both and solidify the decision for the final build.

Time12 - good call

I got all my White's with the heel -1/4 lower…..not so extreme looking but am sending them back to have a lift added.....Giles is right even though he's using 4 letter words to get his point across

Probably old news for some, but I've been scrolling through Japanese websites to dig up some gems…This is a pair of Soft Toe Distressed Smooth BH's (Top Hook, no eyelet):

Amazing what some cream and polish can do…

What sort of build times have those of you that have ordered recently been seeing? My last pair was close to 10 weeks, but I've been seeing pretty short build times lately. Recently came into some extra cash, so after some bills are paid, I'm planning on ordering a couple pairs. (Once I sell most of my other boots to justify it of course)

^it's the quieter time of year, had some to my door in the UK within 5 weeks yesterday. Happy choosing.
