White's Boots

[Ragehaver]

Finally got around to ordering my first pair of White's. Bounty Hunters, black cxl, pretty standard. Loving the look and fit so far. Still getting used to the high arches.

 

Urbanwoodsman, this is your fault / thanks for the recommendation.

@D97x7:

Guh, I think you just inspired my next pair.

Ah, there is one last thing about these boots … the smell when they are new!

Navy CXL (this time in color)

I love the look, but no way I can pull off the the blue. They'd lock my ass up.  I will have to live vicariously through you 4c….........

Anyone know where I may do a resole for the heel for whites? The guy that I've always done my red wings with in singapore only has topy heels, and I've taken the chance of me being back in singapore to resole.

However, I don't find that the topy heels are of that good quality. I've been trying to find deadstock cats paw heels but to no avail. Any suggestions guys? Maybe a suggestion to a particular heel that I may buy?

@louisbosco White's use Quabaug heels and they are quite available online a good cobbler should be able to do a nice job with them.

@EastWest thanks for the tip mate. but i haven't been able to find them. a search for quabaug heels gives me all sorts of unrelated cement companies…

A suggestion - vintage, but new, cat's paw heel's are available all over ebay. Here's a brand new set of them for $8.99 shipped:

Edit: those are a small size, but you get the point. They have dozens of sizes on ebay for $9-12 USD

cheers! @Seth

For all you folks that own Whites and Vibergs, how do they sizing compare?

I have the IH04 Viberg in the 310 last, in between sizes, not sure if I should go a half size up or stay the same with Whites semi-dress.
