White's Boots

[Bluegrass]

JayDee, here is one of the references to the Nomads.

@FurattoHeddo:

The White's Engineers (a line called Nomad which is a relatively new line) look quite nice…

Brown CXL:

Distressed RO (also looking quite light in colour here JCMx800)

Really liking these in distressed ro

those nomads look mighty fine

Wore them the other day…

Foxy, I would love a straight up profile pic of those if you have one.  I like the block heel, but I feel they could make it a bit cleaner.  Most of them seem to protrude too much, like they didnt sand it down enough.

[JayDee]

Thank you very much Bluegrass for making so much work to answering my question! The distressed brown roughout is a very beautiful leather. The instep of my feet is low, so I think it would better fit to me.

[JCMx800]

The distressed rough out looks much better in real-life!!!

[FOXY]

The details, stitching, cutting on my Viberg's seems to be slightly better than on my White's.
The footbed and arch support on my White's makes myWhite's instantly more comfortable to wear - need to see if this remains true over extended periods of time…

The natty cxl version is nice too. "Somebody" should go online and build a custom pair of Nomads!

Found them    thanks to fre-co and Finn666 for posting…

@Finn666:

some beatiful natural cxl engineers…

@fre-co:

Here are some more pictures of my White's nomads a couple of weeks on.

Those look very similar to the Road Champs to me

[Bluegrass]

I found another pair on photobucket (credit to jimmer_5) by googling… pretty damn cool.  But possibly/probably similar to other brands. Not sure how much customization allowed - I'm sure with White's, a lot.

[Bluegrass]

Also a Youtube video - borderline TMI, boot strip-tease… haha

They look better than Road Champs, as far as I'm concerned.

[Bluegrass]

Looked em up. Mister Freedom “ROAD CHAMP” Motor-Cycle Engineer boots - retail $950.

[JayDee]

Thanks Guys! The customization, that is a good question… At Baker's it is not possible to add a liner or another bootstyle. I'm not looking for an engineer, more in the way like a harness, roper or a farmer boot. All that is possible at WESCO, but they are so much expensive and the range of leathercolors is too small!

i have to agree…RC´s are dope, but the nomads are brilliant (especially for that price they´re running!).

[Bluegrass]

Yes they are dope as you'd expect for $950 - but hard not to really like custom-built Nomads at $400.  After I get my BHs I will think hard about a pair of White's pull-ons.

But the pair of well-worn Champs on the Mr. Freedom site is NICE http://www.misterfreedom.com/?p=1854

Hi all, has anybody get and pics/ experience of SD's/ SJ's in suede/ roughout without celastic toes, so a soft toe? Rare I know and they may not work and will ask Whites about any downsides but fancy the idea for myself and stock. Cheers J.
