White's Boots

[steelworker]

@Bluegrass:

Nice.  You gonna like… 

Have wanted to pull the trigger on a pair of White's for some time & I have to say thank you for the crazily detailed -to hell with that- encyclopedic  knowledge displayed on this thread, one of hundreds of threads in this forum where vast amounts of information can be found. I mean-you know you guys are nuts, right?
Of course I just read hundreds of pages of minutiae on a single topic so I'm quite normal. Anyway thanks again to Megatron bluegrass, Pillowpants Hectic &  everyone for helping a FNG grasp an overwhelming amount of material in a short amount of time    -Ed

Happy to do it.  Yes I am a bit nuts (I will speak only for myself).  I read this whole thread too, before I jumped in. Plus the one on Styleforum. Boots are important and should be treated seriously.  My only regret is I spent so many years in the dark wearing inferior boots.  Speaking of boots, I buttered these up recently - looking (and feeling) good.

I like these plain jane black SJs (not mine).

only problem i see is they will jack up the prices soon

Welp, I just put in an order for my personal grails…Some may be surprised by the simplicity: 8 Inch Black Farmer Ranchers, soft toe, plain toe, brass hardware, single mid, black trim, vibram 700...Essentially 8 inch smoke jumpers without a lug sole!

Not sure if this was posted yet but seems hopeful for White's:

And if not, get in your orders soon before they retire!

simple = good

@bluegrass your natty cxl BH's are sick

[Bluegrass]

Thanks    all it takes is lots of walking, indigo stains, wear from motorcycle shifter, some burns and scuffs, and throw on some fireball shots.

[bagley920]

Their first trip out

[pillowPANTS]

Lookin good dude. I like em

[bagley920]

Thanks man! Gotta get used to the weight of these and the initial break in

[Bluegrass]

Fantastic!  You will be surprised and pleased how quickly and nicely they break in.  But yes they are heavy - as a substantial well-made boot should be!  You will get used to it.

[bagley920]

I'd have to weigh them but I think these prob weight twice as much as my semi dress and only 1" higher

[Bluegrass]

Im going to check mine out of curiosity - i think you're right.
