Shoes that look better with age...

[superscore]

Morse - you're White's look awesome! Definitely better with age & you're using them for their intended purpose!

White's, Wesco, etc, are all great & restoring & re-soling their boots as needed, so keep beating 'em!

When we were up at the cottage over spring break, I found my old Wescos that I wore over 4-5 summers, tree-planting & such hard labor. I think they've been re-soled twice, but the leather is starting to show its age. Too small for me now, sadly

riff,...... what size are those? i have small feet :D:D:D:D:D

oh~ boy!!

I highly recomend white's semi-dress with chromexel leather.

really soft that I could run with no pain at first day.

also I love that color looks like antique furniture.

100% satisfied with my first buying White's.

[edmond]

hi gang can you do a straight up fit pic for us?

[Aquaphor]

Yeah Gang, can we have more fit pics of your White's? Maybe some side profile pics.

On the subject of White's. Has anyone seen the Bakershoe Retro Oxfords in person? I'm wondering how they look in relation to Semi-Dress boots.

[vamks]

those look incredible.

[jstavrin]

I'd probably buy a pair if they weren't so expensive.

[marineabilly]

jstavrin, they aren't too expinsive if you go through eBay - check THIS out

[rnrswitch]

I don't think you are going to find the oxford on ebay any time soon.

On the topic of oxford, are there any comparable oxfords out there similar to that whites. You know look rather sleek and almost dressy, but built to last.

[riff]

I like White's, but for that price, I'd get Alden's cordo's on a double leather sole...

[slide13]

I can't figure why the oxford is so much more then the Semi-Dress. Were they the same price I'd already have a pair on order. Still....it is a damn cool shoe and almost worth the extra money....

i buy all my shoes on ebay, once i have tried them in a store. sometimes i cant like those Belstaff i purchased on ebay germany last december for 119$....

pretty cool to wear them for work. Belstaff quality is way under wesco, whites or RW tho....

why didn't you just order it from Whites? or did I read your post wrong?

[marineabilly]

I did - that's why I paid too much. I'm recommending one search eBay and save about $250.

[slide13]

Trust me, you might wait a while if you wait for ebay. I'm always on the lookout for 11.5 Semi-Dress boots and they rarely come up. Lots of 7-10 sizes though so I guess it just depends. Still, I think White's are very fairly priced at retail for a custom boot, especially when you have a particular build you want done.

[Rivet Head]

My White's...listening to Bo Diddley's "Mumblin' Guitar"...doesn't any better than that:

[rnrswitch]

Are those the brown chambray salt n pepper pants from lofgren. If so how do you like them?

BTW I love the single sole on the semi dress.

Yes sir! They are fantastic! A little stiffer than the black S&P, but a great piece for the cash. They have nice, deep front pockets. My are super long so I might have them hemmed. John at Speedway is fantastic!

[slide13]

those look great, is that black or brown dress leather on those?

Brown leather...single leather sole...love these things!

I don't know what everyone's opinion of Corcoran boots are, but this is a pair of their "historic" jump boots that my brother inherited from my grandfather, a former 1st Lt. in the US army engineer corps. They're korean war era military issue. here are some before and after picks from oiling 'em today:

I think the only reason they cost so much is that it's a bakeshoe exclusive model.

Other than the price, my other concern is that the block heel might look too huge for an oxford style. I'm wondering how it'll look with the standard curved heel

[Gang]

some people ask me some more pics of my white's.

[Gang]

and here're some fit pics.

we cannot wear shoes in the room, so spread white paper.

sorry for that.

I placed an order from Pediwear on Sunday and have an order number. They said they will respond by a non automated email but still havent got an email from them. Anyone has experience how long it takes for them to response? I email them with no response too....

[darkblack]

Hi Gang , where did you buy your White's chromexel boot?

[Gang]

you can order chromexel leather White's through Baker's boots.

[almostnice]

renegade,those jumpboots are great,i am envious!

i ordered myself a fairly cheapo repro-pair a while back but wasnt satisfied with both the fit and quality so i had to send them back.

still want a decent pair but couldnt find any so far...

[edmond]
