White's Boots

[demonito]

same pair as Giles but 5 years older

[Giles]

And five times better….

How do you like the feel of the White's G? That arch ease can be something to get used to!

[Giles]

No problems whatsoever from the get go.  But the, my feet are not exactly normal….

[seawolf]

No problems here either. I rather like the support that the white's provide. It's unlike any other shoe imho. Glad they're working out for you.

Hahaha. Awesome. I want some classic work boots in all Whale Penis leather. Gonna look hard as feck

[Chris]

Agreed.  On Tuesday, I'm calling every bootmaker I know to see if they can track down whale penis leather for my next pair of boots…

EDIT: I just like saying whale penis leather.  I'm going to see how many posts I can mention it before the amusement wears off for me.

[Megatron1505]

Do you like fish sticks?

[Chris]

Of course, especially with chips and malt vinegar.

Is that where whale penis leather comes from?

[bagley920]

Supposedly whale penis helps with virility if ingested, not sure about on your feet. Could give you hobbit feet…

[pillowPANTS]

@EastWest:

Trying not to crowbar this in but my website specialising in White's only for now is pretty much live apart from a few changes and tweaks but I will have the build a boot options there. I'm based in the UK so if you wanted to order through someone in Europe please get in touch and I can price a boot for you if of interest. Will put the website address up next week anyway.

Cheers.

Jamie.

[davito]

supersalami I believe my rising sun is made from french calf leather. I love it because its different from the ones I have in my Vibergs and softer from the beginning.

French Calf leathers does have great patina to them after long wear.
