Shoes that look better with age...

[phive-oh-won]

tying them loosely hasn't really helped that much... I'm slightly bow-legged so it rubs on the outside edge of my leg. thanks for the responses, everyone!

I need to stay away from ebay. After scoring my last pair of White's roughouts for $157 I decided I liked them so much I'd keep my eye out for another pair to abuse for winter. Just won these for $153.50. Keeping the originals nice and these ones will get dubbed for winter use and the more aggressive sole should prove handy for the deep snowy days as well.

I knew I forgot to bid on those!

It's amazing how much price goes up as size goes down. Same boots in 10.5 went for $285, 10 for $307 and 9.5 for $326. The 11 and 11.5 for $153 however...days like today I'm glad I have big feet as 11D is proving to be a nice cheap size for Whites on Ebay.

[Happy Hooligan]

I was going to bid too, but thought the D width might be too big.

really a nice pair there

[milosz]

Wish I had normal size feet so I could catch some of those deals.

[ThinFinn]

worst size is a US9, which i have...almost impossible to score sth. nice for a steal!...

Here my old clarks that I've had for about a year and a half going on two, had em resoled a while ago bout time I clean em up and start wearing them again now that the weather is changing in Texas. One of these days I'm going to bite the bullet with some brown chrome excel bounty hunters.

I gave them a light coat of #8 polish when I got them resoled I'm happy with how the color came out.

[SLAB]

good choice denimjunky (or is it whitesjunky?)

Really like the brown chrome excel as well

[denimjunky]

Thanks, SLAB!

Yeah, I might change my nick :-)

[AntiHero84]

Alex, how did you go about resoling your DBs? Did you have to find a special cobbler who would be able to replace a crepe sole?

[postman]

hey denimjunky, have you received your william lennons yet? want to know whether they're any good for their relatively low price!

[denimjunky]

^No not as of yet. They should be on the way though since I got some update from them the other day.

Walking thru East London today, I saw a chap with a very nice pair of boots.

Alfred Sargent - the Selkirk, I think, which he found in Lewes, Sussex. Far nicer in the flesh than you might have seen on-line - the leather looks rich, translucent, reminiscent of 1930s leather suitcases. It's zug grain, which I guess is their scotchgrain, I remember reading somewhere that this is very weatherproof. These look to be pretty impressive boots for £230 or so.

Try finding 13EEs!

[SwedeAlex]

@Denimjunky: OMG!!! These boots are absolutely looking great! I´d love me a pair of those! The black pair is...uhm...b e a u t i f u l

[denimjunky]

I love'em. I maybe should have gotten a pair of BHs, though. (this will be my third pair of SDs)

That's the Selkirk, alright. Now: is it possible to polish every scotchgrainlike leather like these?

[denimjunky]

Anyone knows where to order the short cap toe option for SDs?

Only directly from white's?

[slide13]

I think if you order the cap toe through Baker you can specify the shorter (I've heard it called the "half-moon" style) caps by just putting it in the notes field at time of order. Or you could just do it straight through White's too which may be easier to ensure you get exactly what you want.
