White's Boots
-
^^
Really nice boots! They look well aged and cared for. Are these Farmer-Ranchers or Bounty Hunters (i.e. SJ or SD last)?
It's neither of them. It is the Classic Workboot they offer. You can find the set up here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=989.3870

It took 12 months to get the black and red because of screw ups at the factory. They came with black rough out toe caps??? And looked just awefull.
Now i have then all is good.
Along the way i ordered two pair SD one brown horse hide with toecap and one British Tan toecaps. They are beautiful and i will post photos but the SD did not use Bounty hunter last and fit a size large si I am going to have to sell them new with tags.

Whites Bounty Hunter roughout showed up. I'm so hooked on the way their 10E fits, I don't know if I'll ever buy anything else.
Beauties! What size do you wear in other boots?
-
My three favorite fits are:
Alden Trubalance 10 E - Almost as good as the White's 10E. No complaints.
Alden Trubalance 9.5 EEE - Pretty good but a bit snug. Thin socks only.
Wolverine 1K Miles 10 EEE - Started fine, ended up being too big because the leather was so stretchy.
ASICS 11 EEEE - Great fit. I can never find sneakers or athletic shoes that fit. This is the only thing that has ever worked for me.Never had Vibergs or Wesco to compare to, but I'm sure they would have a last that fits as well.

Here's my two pair:
One is just your standard, Semi Dress with a single leather outsole in black Chrome Excel. The other is a pair of 6" brown dress Bounty Hunters with medallion toe caps. I have a pair of 7" lace to toe Bounty Hunters in black Chrome Excel on order right now. I can't wait until they are finished up! I have been wearing my two pair continuously for the last 6 months. I had never had a good pair of shoes until these and I have absolutely NO regrets! I take really good care of them, using cedar trees and brush them after every wear. It appears they should both outlive me at this point. I haven't really treated them with anything at all yet, other than some Obenauf's on the sides of the outsoles when they were new and on the toe caps of the Bounty Hunters once 3 or 4 months ago. I work indoors, so the soles are doing real well on both. Also, I LOVE the standard, Cuban heel. I know it seems to polarize folks and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it until I had them on, but I am converted for sure.
- I too am a convert… Those are great specimens you have there. Interesting to see the brown dress and black cxl side-by-side, same camera, same light.
