Water Buffalo

What a great thread, and bravo to Brain for the attention to detail - perhaps the finest in the world. Looking forward to seeing the engineer boots come into production. And a response in a few hours across the world by email - service and attention through and through…

My water buffalo SD`s

Got a strong feeling you'd have to order a standard pair, then make the modifications…

@beeetus:

Here are the pictures of my new White's. Ordered on 2/7, and received them 3/14.

White's Bounty Hunters

White's Cougars with Giles' favorite Vibram 2021 sole.

Is there a size difference between the two?

I`ve heard cougar is one half up recommended?

Love the BH`s!

@theorocks:

anybody had good transaction with these guys? http://www.ebay.com/sch/whitesriver/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Brand new Whites for half price…what is going on there? And a blue bullhide - never been seen before? Factory samples or rejects?

Ah, thats what causes the slight greenish tint, the aging causes some worn areas to brown, Ive noticed that on mine. Sp great to have boots that get better with age…Lovely original companions for denim!

Im a half size up to an english UK shoe, and 1/2 down from a RM Williams (though I wear the F and not the G width) , if that helps, but as I say, there is no beating a true fitting, as the arch support in the Whites in uncompromising if its not perfect, and the most comfortable boot in the world if its spot on.

@stever:

don't white's get you to go through a pretty full on fitting process ie. sending in traces of your feet etc to ensure you get the right sized boots?

They did that to me and I got stuck with a boot one size too big. Damn annoying, and the next pair a half size down drowned me too, and that ended up costing me two pairs of boots. Fortunately the market for resale is good here, but nothing beats a fitting in the real thing. I`m afraid a tracing is always erred on the large size, as its easier to say "keep the boot and wear a thicker sock"…

I`ve just put the new laces through…here we are.

Not everyone`s taste, but with a pair of selvage denims and white oxford shirt in the spring, I think I made a good choice...C&C?

They are doing well, thanks, a little daring on the color front, perhaps should have left the suede out. I didn't realize that the CXL, with almost green hues, would be that different to the suede, but I can live with it. How are yours fairing? I did get some white leather laces from Baker`s, and I think this combo should be stunning…in fact, might lace them up now...

My SD in dark brown and black cherry water buffalo, although the two colure are now pretty indistinguishable…

A few photos found…

Good choice…there is a lot more "boot" in the BH...

i´m on the fence about white´s BH or SD…

It`s all about ankle support. The BH is a  higher boot, and the SD is really dressy...I know this sounds corny, but it does summarize things...

Im a 9D Whites - can't comment on the other shoes you mention, but can say Im a UK 8.5E…for the record

Ill second that. I wore thin socks and Whites came out with a full size larger than I have now. Thats two pairs wasted. Id suggest the only way is to try them on in a store. Forget foot prints. Half a size, ok…but a full size! ComE on Whites!
