White's Boots

[Bluegrass]

Yes, I asked Bakers if these had the arch-ease, and was disappointed they do not.  I LOVE the arch-ease.  Also, looks like this are close trim (single row stitched) - yes?  And agree, these look to be a bit "Vibergy" with all that, and the lower heel, and the Dainite sole - but still good looking boots for the money, for sure.  And being a bit "Vibergy" is not so bad - nice to have options… Their other new boot, the Foreman (I think), doesn't have the arch-ease either.

[Ragehaver]

Yeah, close trim. At first arch-ease seemed impossible to get used to…now I hate not having it.

[Bluegrass]

Totally agree!

@Ragehaver - curious, is sizing on the MPs the same as other White's?

[Ragehaver]

Both my Bounty Hunters are 10E, as are these. I'd say these are about as wide but maybe feel a tiny bit longer? I'd probably consider buying MPs a half size smaller than a Bounty Hunter, but its totally wearable at the same size.

@EastWest:

Hi @Crit_Obs I would echo most of the above. Overall they fit fairly similar in length and width but for me the SJ’s have a bit more volume across the top of the foot/ toes whereas the SD’s feel slightly wider at the front of the foot but more shallow in height. Send me a mail if you want to chat more on particular boots and sizes, there can be some variation due to leather thickness etc..

Cheers.

Hey Jamie,

I was just wondering whether the "Contact us" feature on your site is working? I dropped you a message there but only afterwards did I remember it used to have some problems in the past.

[EastWest]

Hey again @Crit_Obs

I seem to be getting messages okay in general, at least I hope so! But maybe not as I haven’t got anything from you through the website.

Try: ewapparel@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you sharpish.

Cheers.

I received my White's last month.  It's hard to not wear these.  So comfy. 

I wasn't 110% on the sizing, but I'm actually really happy with the fit!  On my trip to Portland I decided to go to Eugene and pay a visit to Baker's.  Kyle helped me out and was extremely knowledgeable regarding both Wesco and White's.  I now know the correct size for each brand for future purchases!

Got my White’s boots semidress (bounty hunters). I ‘m very impressed with the quality of this boots, I thought I ordered the wrong size but they fit great, here’s a few quick pics.

Just ordered from Baker's Boots. The current lead time is around 6~8 weeks.

@atm23 how do you find the combination of C461 & wedge sole? Does it feel like "walking uphill", as described by some (Kyle among them)? Is the arch support prominent?

Edit: I might have jumped into conclusions cos of the photo; it could be that you actually just ordered, and didn't receive them yet, in which case please savour my questions and report back in 6-8 weeks.

like them, def report once you got them @atm23, also are they dark blue or black?, sry I am sitting right now in the bright sunshine and somehow they look blue-ish

[atm23]

**@rocket Thanks! I can't wait! They're black as well.

@Crit_Obs I just ordered them so I haven't had the chance to give them a "test walk"! I will come back in a few months with a review. Then again, in a couple months its going to be summer, so they may not get much wear until the colder months.**
