White's Boots

[juodek]

Just came across these, how do you guys like the suede toebox ?
Black roughout & Black Chromexcel

[Seul]

I'd like it better if it were roughout…

My custom Cougars are almost there!
In fact they are the customs office, in Milan…

All roughout?  I'd actually go the other way- it would be better as a plain smooth boot.  With black, I feel like roughout only looks good when it's pristine.  As soon as you wear it, it gets dusty and shabby looking.

[Seul]

Nah just the suede bit…

[EastWest]

^just for info, it is rough out.

My first pair of White's! 7" bounty hunters from Bakers in distressed smooth.

Then I don't like black rough out (nor suede)…

Good idea, or horrible butchering of a good pair of boots?

They are a bit over priced for a used pair that has been cut in half. Otherwise, I'm tempted….

[Giles]

IMO they will be supremely uncomfortable.  Anything lower than 7" with a sole that thick and stiff, will result in a load of heel slip.  At least, that is my experience…

Plus they look awful (this is my experience of awful looking White's boots, which I loved anyway) 

[Seth]

Heel slip because of the weight and lowness. Excellent point. And they look awful. I wondered if that low edge would be a pain along the rear ankle/tendons…I imagine it would.

[MET]

Is it possible to add leather half-slip to double midsole in White's custom build options?

Fugly.  Looks completely out of proportion to the sole

Found this pic from a while back. Thinking of getting a similar BH in brown or black dress. El Chingon (or someone else) or someone else, is this a celastic or noncelastic toe with the medallion toe cap?

@ElChingon7:

Brown Dress BH broken in nicely, love them.

[Bluegrass]

that's def. medallion toe cap, and my guess is it's prob. celastic toe from looking at he pic. but with the toe cap it would hold it's shape pretty well either way.
