The SD I posted above… Someone asked me for the specs in a PM, so I thought I'd post them.

[barun]

ahh, thanks.  I love whites and I'm glad you bought at Bakers, they seem to be good people.

All the photos in this thread has somewhat convinced that I would have a pair of white's soon…

Beautiful, but extremely expensive.

leather and construction really is looking great, but i dont like that typical whites sole.
somehow those boots always remind me of piggy feet when guys wearing these (nothing against`em seul, so stop packing )…

but if you feel them...get them

[ronaldlsh]

I have to agree with u Finn… But not a big problem for me.. Haha..

What noise injunjack?

[injunjack]

ronald  I meant Nice…

[Omega Man]

Hey ronaldlsh, any idea on how much it will cost?  And can you change the sole, to some thing like a "commando" sole?

[ronaldlsh]

I got the price from ultrasound. 3980HKD.

Not sure about the soles, but u get to choose from 3 vibram soles. 100F, 430 and 700.

[Finn666]

what`s that in $ mate?

[ronaldlsh]

Say around $520USD

[madmonday]

that doesn't sound a bad price for that quality boot.  if you can do it i would say buy

this…

[ronaldlsh]

It's either this or 634RAW.

Tough ass decision…

[Megatron1505]

Honestly, if you can get these boots for $520 you should, above virtually any other clothing purchase. This is an item that you could be wearing in 20 years, you can't say that about any denim, no matter how well made it is.
