White's Boots

[Megatron1505]

MY BH are single celastic and cap toe dude.

I had a pair that was lined and with cap toes and they were still really soft and collapsible.  If you want the boots to keep their shape, you should get the celastic toe.

Thank you 4c and Mega, that's very useful info.

In the meantime, after spending a few more hours looking at pictures of boots, I have changed my mind on another important point. Now leaning more towards black dress leather.

Leather 1: Black Dress
Toe Vamp Leather: Black Dress
Toe Cap Leather: Black Dress
Celastic Toe Box: Single
Safety Toe: No Thanks
Upper (Shaft) Leather : Black Dress
Leather Liner: Tan
Back Stay Leather: Black Dress
Pull Loop: No
Eyelet Color: Nickel
Sole Trim: Standard Trim
Eyelet Configuration : Hook and Eyelet
Lace: Leather
Sole: Vib 269
Half Slip: No
Heel Shape: Curve
Heel Height: Standard
Last: Standard
Midsole: Standard
Midsole/Edge Color: Brown

Brown midsole edge looks weird in buildaboot but I've seen a few excellent pics of it on a black boot…

[Megatron1505]

Sounds like a classic boot, you'll be pleased with them.

[Bluegrass]

TH, brown edge looks great with black boots in my opinion… I think you've got a winner scoped out.

And speaking of classic boots, love these ^

[4c]

White's Classic

Good day for toecaps…

[TH3515]

Very nice! Good colour, and it goes very well with your…um...dashboard carpet?

btw - is that a W123?

[4c]

Thanks! Yep, I got my boots to match my dashboard carpet.
It's a W123– good eye.

[TH3515]

Is that navy CXL? I was quite sure when I saw it on my office monitor. Now on my Sony piece of trash android phone the leather looks greenish…

Drove a W123 230E for a few years, it was actually navy blue:-)

I can see why you're sitting in the passenger seat though. White's are not ideal for driving, unless it's a truck or a tractor. My size 13 Farmer Ranchers are so wide that it's impossible for me to drive with a manual transmission.

[4c]

They’re navy CXL; this leather turns greenish with wear because the natural tan of the leather shows threw. My SDs are actually pretty good for driving this roomy German taxi.

A couple of custom boots for a customer, not for everyone or the faint hearted but he was pleased! A lot of shit being kicked around the UK at the moment ; )

[Giles]

Japanese customer per chance?

[EastWest]

Definitely not British by birth but non Japanese…...either way a biker!!

[injunjack]

Not all bikers like tractor soles…..some of us have taste, some even great....I might not though...

[Anesthetist]

Nice leather choices though.
