Shoes that look better with age...

[ulysses.]

KLOP! by ulysses.O

skate shoes!

[velomane]

Those look nice, I hope you sort out the problem. How's the fit, particularly in relation to other boots i.e. Stow's, Barker's or any Aldens?

They came out alright (thanks, riff ), I suppose!

With the Stows:

Can't comment in relation to Barkers or Aldens, but these are half a size less than what I'd consider my 'true' size and fit well - it helped that I was able to try on a couple of pairs locally before going for them.

Definitely the most elegant boot I own, although they're up against several pairs of Tricker's so that was never going to be a close call

[fre-co]

Compared to Trickers Stow, C&J coniston fit is slimmer in the toebox, If you have any sort of width in your feet you might need to go up a half.

Compared to Alden trubalance: I wear a UK9 in C&J and a US9 in most Alden

Thanks to you as well as the brummie.

Calling all the white's experts, the one in the middle is what last, please?

[fre-co]

Looks like swing, but maybe the cap and close trim are deceiving.

don't they belong to someone here?

Yes, me.

Could have sworn I ordered standard last, though.

Cant say I dont like them but its one of those things...

EDIT: Where did I get the idea of that they dont cap the #38 last?

Leather Toe Cap (only available on plain toe style)

So whats plain toe style?

[mikecch]

^ Not lace-to-toe?

[denimjunky]

makes sense.

Just it doesnt make sense in the SD case...

[k4727]

hey guys, considering a pair of viberg service boots, (310 last) with a cap toe. Anyone have any suggestions/experience, also what is the pricing on those boots

[nattomoto]

I'm just about to order a pair of White's Semi Dress.

Can the folks that have Black Cherry Water Buffalo or Burgundy French Calf boots please post some pics?

Thanks!

[onehundy]

Go with the burgundy french calf

IMO..

[ThisSunday]

I doubt these will hold up long enough to show age but we'll see

My new Alden 403 from Bakers..

I got my Alden 405 from bakers last week as well (they gave me a crazy deal on them). I'm enjoying mine, walked 5 miles on friday and they felt great.

[smittybat]

The size 10's went for $501 and size 11's for $426.

Don't know if these have been posted yet, but I wonder how high they will go.

I prefer the WB. A lot more supple without loosing strength.

the french calf feels almost plastic to me.

[davichan]

Yo DJ those are pure cherry sexy ^

[denimjunky]

Yeah, the black cherry is ever more interesting, true...

Lightly infused some oils and waxes into my Stow boots - not that the leather really needed it:

[baldy]

anybody have shell penny loafer type shoes? I'm looking at getting a pair but not sure which color and fits still... looking for inspiration/insight

[rnrswitch]

The size 10's went for $501 and size 11's for $426.

I really wish I was either of those two sizes. I would have easily dropped that money for them.

Really looking forward to seeing more of these...

I have a question and was hoping some of the boot experts here could help me out.

The job that I'm starting in the next few months requires that I wear a steel toe boot that meets OSHA standards. Initially this was not a problem because Baker's had a steel toe option when customizing a pair of Bounty Hunters. However, I spoke with them today and was informed that White's will not put a steel toe on the Semi-Dress last. If I want to stick with White's, the folks at Baker's say my current options are Smoke Jumpers or Packers.

Basically, does anyone here have any suggestions for boots with a steel toe. I want something that I can also wear casually, that's what attracted me to the Bounty Hunters. I really wasn't looking for a huge 8 to 12 inch boot, but I'm afraid that's all White's has to offer.

Feel free to PM me, as I don't want to clutter up the thread.

you can customize the smoke jumper through baker's shoe to be a 6inch boot if you like. that'd be what i'd do.

I've seen some information on japanese white's dealer web shop.

they said that steel toe make toe part leather worn out

faster than single celastic toe.

This is a problem that you're going to encounter with any steel toe boot... it's unavoidable. From my understanding, the celastic toe is simply a reinforcement for the toe box and not in any way a replacement for a steel toe. And to comply with my company (as well as gov't regulations), I have to have a steel toe boot.
