White's Boots

[Lucifer]

@BrownIcon:

SemiDress 5'" HH MTO [by Baker's] :  HorseHide x Bison toe caps & backstays :: Swing Last [_i know it's not for every1]:: Vibram composite half-soles + Quabaug block heels [1/4 lowered] :: ***got 3 other pairs of laces that i interchange, in case you find these reds unsettling

Love how that bison leather looks!

How is bison leather durability wise compared to ordinary cow leather?

@SpaceGnome:

mega, did you off those Whites that you had resoled by that hack of a shop in London, or did you send them to Whites for the spa treatment?

Neither yet, I've only worn them twice since getting them back. I'm considering just selling them on the Bay, and getting a new pair I think.

Look what showed up at my work today. A surprise from the wife! She even got the sizing right!

Smart too, apparently got them for less than $300

[Jordan23]

Wow! EBay?

Nope, Baker's. They're not custom but they are my size so I could care less and at that price

Yes, black CXL Smoke Jumpers. It was a gift, I'm not gonna complain one bit! Hell, I'm lucky she got the sizing right cause I think sale items are non-returnable

[derivative666]

She is a keeper!!!!

Got these on eBay for a steal and had them rebuilt with a lowered heel and vibram honey lug sole.

[Megatron1505]

I actually really like them, the honey lug sole really suits them.

[gratefulmelon]

Thanks Megatron, I was very pleased with the rebuild. It was like having a new pair of boots built for only $200. I believe I'll go with a lower profile sole on my next pair though. These are a little chunky.

Not the email you want to get 9 weeks in:

"It was damaged during making it and they had to re-make one shoe.  I will check the status and get back with you"

I like the combination a lot! Someone should try a ripple sole on one of those eventually

If I'm a 10.5 for the Viberg Bobcats, 11 for converse chucks. what size should I go for White's(or even Aldens?)

cheers
