HEAVYWEIGHT BOOTS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 - 2015

He'll be here all day, ladies and gents. Unfortunately.

So many nice boots in this thread.

These Whites crossed my facebook feed today, it startled me a little for some reason but I thought it was really cool so I figured I'd share.

From the poster "Whites are insane. These are starting their 14th fire season and I only had the tread replaced once (last year) all other leather is still good. Mink oil only…...hope they can make it 13 more!"

Figured you guys were about the only people I know that would appreciate that.

Fresh from the box. Actually pretty comfortable.  They will take some time to be just right,  but not as stiff as I thought they'd be!.

Those are fantastic!

With the unsettled weather we've been having here I decided to put a coat of Kiwi Dubbin on my White's this morning. Didn't seem to change the colour of the leather and maybe it will soften them up a bit.

My daughter Amelia agrees.

Too excited. Pardon the iPhone photos. Haven't laced them up, but the width is spot on. Length is a touch long.

Those are some serious boots. I dig the rest of the pics.

Well, first week in these are done. So far I've worn them every day, including 20 hours on day two. They've suffered through my daily walks to and from work (30 minutes each day), a show at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, an epic collapse by my favourite hockey team, rain, a coat of dubbin, a bunch of beer and more to come…

Surprisingly, they've barely started to crease and for some reason have started to rub on my left ankle.
