Work Boots - WHITE'S, VIBERG, WESCO

[rkusmant]

I have been fitted by several people and they said the same thing. But most people could care less to notice it.

Fair enough mate.

Just seems odd as writing with your right hand is a cultural convention (we're all generally taught as kids to write with our right rather than our left), whilst a bigger foot seems pre-determined by biology.

[baldy]

I'm pretty sure being left or right handed is biologically related as well.

[fre-co]

I'm right handed and my right foot is larger.... am I a freak of nature?

[Aries]

edit:^^^ You are a disgusting abomination under God.

Yeah it's interesting, never heard it before, I wonder if there are many studies relating handedness to foot size.

Hello. Looking for a pair of viberg x four horsemen boots in size 11. If anyone has a pair that are not getting enough attention I'm interested. Thank you

Here's some pictures of my new horsehide semi-dress, crossposted from the horsehide contest thread.

Good stuff! Are the heels lower than "stock"? What are the specs?

Thank you. The specs include a 1/4 lowered Cuban heel, single brown midsole, #700 half sole, close trim, standard last, no pull loops, a red liner and the toe cap. Aside from the horsehide colors I think that's it.

Thought this was an interesting video.

These are not the exact same, but are pretty similar: http://www.tateandyoko.com/20-footwear/120-viberg-1950-service-boot-buffalo-suede-smooth-with-dainite-sole.html

i proceeded to purchase some obenauf's lp immediately after watching that video.

Anyone have advice about a good, tall work boot? I'm thinking Wesco Firestormer, it's got some great features--black fire leather, kevlar stichting, fire proof sole and hard-toe. They run about $415 from Baker's.

[jackie17]

^i guess it depends on how important the fire proof sole is to you.

don't think you can go wrong with either wesco or white's. i only have experience with white's and highly recommend a pair of 8/10 inch smoke jumpers. the wescos look great; if my bounty hunters didn't fit me so well, i would probably try wesco jobmasters for my next pair.

both companies make excellent boots. if i were you i would find out which brand carries a last that fits you the best. actually i would just talk to kyle @ baker's boots and let him help find the right boot for you.
