White's Boots
-
The pictures make me feel patriotic.

Quick question: someone over at SF said that White's distressed cowhide was among their hardest/most durable leathers (seems weird, since I'm skeptical of everything pre-distressed?). I'm planning to get a pair of americana/retro semi dress boots with a cap toe, and I want something that a) will last me 10-15 years and b) will look decent/get a nice shine/patina over time with a little care and lots of use.
So, within the larger framework of "brown" leathers that white's supply, which combines good looks and durability best? And i definately pirority durability the highest.

The simple answer is their brown dress leather, tough, durable, and evolves great. My SD's are coming up to 4 years old, have seen plenty of wear, and still look great.

I can post some up on Sunday, but I am away until then. Google should turn out some pretty nice pics though.

Not sure I understand what you mean by mid sole shaping into a point. you mean the shape of the toebox? Its anything but pointy
-
I gotcha. Whites has an option to double the mid sole i believe. I did a half composite, might go for a full sole when it comes time to resole them.
