White's Boots

[Lucifer]

@Megatron1505:

Sounds good, what sole are you going for Lucifer?

I think I'll go with one of the "lighter" vibram soles.

Another question:

Anyone know how long their production times are? I'm going to US in july/august (roadtrip.. ) so picking those up would be grand (we have a 25 % import tax here in Norway..).

They told me 5-7 weeks

[dave]

How long ago did they tell you the lead time?  My two pairs shipped between 3 and 6 weeks if I can remember back that far, but it's the busy season right now.  I ordered a pair of brown horse on the 22nd about 5 minutes after they announced its availability on the facebook.

[yen]

I put my order in 2 weeks ago

@MastersOfDeath:

damn my large feet (UK 10 and wiiiide)

Talking to Whites about copping 20 pair of these…...

G, did this go anywhere? Thinking of going for some new SD's, rather than a rebuild now, if you're stocking them we could be in business.

[Jordan23]

That would be nice!I am also interested.

[Giles]

Yes, I am still working stuff out with them….G

[Megatron1505]

Will you be ordering a standard model, or will there be the option for a custom order ?

[Giles]

I am talking standard model/s atm, but once I get that squared away, customs may be an option….

damned!  :o

For some reason I have started obsessing about getting some SD's with a double midsole, a Vibram 430 sole, and a plain cap toe in full black semi dress leather, with natural edging. My obsessions never end well for my bank balance 

[Megatron1505]

Smoke Jumpers (6", brown dress and rough out mix) or SD's ( black dress, cap toe) as my everyday work boot?

I work in an engineering/ electronics factory, so a steel toe is not essential, but I am on my feet most of the day.

[ronaldlsh]

I would go for the SJ. Just personal preference….

[Lucifer]

I'm going for black chromexcel SD with natural midsole. But I'm a lawyer, so not that much on my feet in daily life

[nicecrackaction]

My current line up, from left to right:

semi-dress water buffalo, farmer rancher horween chromexcel, smokejumper brown, smokejumper red dog/distressed.

The brown SJ's in 9,5 EE (F) with brown leather lining and composition sole are for sale.

[Megatron1505]

Beautiful collection, I've just talked myself into two new pairs of Whites 

[madmonday]

Devil Dog, that is a nice set-up you got going.  i like 2 & 3 the best.  1 & 4 both kind of creep me out.

[Chris]

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that it wasn't too hard to talk yourself into buying a couple of pairs, Mega?

The real question is how long it took you to convince Minitron that you need two new pairs of White's.:)

Monday, I'm with you on the two tone pair, but what bugs you about #1?

[madmonday]

mega, please consider getting a pair of White's 6" Bounty Hunters One Tone: Distressed

The cordovan Whites at Baker's are off the wall, but not $949 worth of off the wall.  A $500 up-charge on that leather seems a bit excessive when compared to Alden.  Granted, Alden probably gets better supply quantities to push the price down.
