You all should form The Natty CXL Crew
, like a gang within the Heavyweight boot comp. -
I am pursuing the double midsole for aesthetics as well…the boots look so much more substatial. So I guess the walking style in double mid sole would be a little different than a single sole, but wouldn't feel uncomfortable? Would it be like a pair of dress shoes or far less flexible. I would have thought the inflexibility of the sole would contribute to discomfort. I hope it doesn't feel like I am wearing shoes made of wooden sole. Is it possible to get a single leather midsole + rubber midsole + the undersole.
Am I correct in this thinking…just wanted to confirm as I will be placing my order shortly.

All my dress shoes are more flexible. however, as pointed out earlier by Mega, your roll your feet with double midsole White's and to me that feels natural enough.
I haven't seen any double rubber soles and don't think they are available. depending on your home climate you could also go with a pure leather sole, which is more flexible even when doubled or tripled.

i´m on the fence about white´s BH or SD…
so here´s some SD love
and after looking at that #8 burgundy cxl leather, i´m getting more and more pulled over from the natural cxl side to go with the #8 on my future pair!
I think you should go natural cxl I'm just not a fan of of the color 8 cxl
-
Although single these soles are stiffer an tougher to break in than vibergs imo!
Enjoy ya addiction!
Very nice bike! (Boots, what boots?)
-
not a fan?
I thought you went with the #8 cxl on your contest boot?! :-\I was kidding. I went color 8 because everyone went natty. Actually I did both but, the color 8 is sick. Go for it!!!
-
I think natural CXL makes boots look like they've got more patina earlier. In a way, that feels like a shortcut, but I doubt the end result will look as cool as one of those standard White's leathers that evolve more slowly, but also more credibly.

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...

I was kidding…
that's what I thought in first place
It`s all about ankle support. The BH is a higher boot, and the SD is really dressy…
think I'm going with the SD, since dressy is what I like (when it comes to boots) and also I think the Sd is going to be more versatile and with a lot of different denim styles! the BH might look too bulky under a pair of 555's for example…
-
Sd are awesome
-
Good choice…there is a lot more "boot" in the BH...
