White's Boots

[Friday]

@ArnoldLayne you can contact the seller in eBay and they'll give you a proper quote on shipping which will probably be in the USD 80-90 range. At least that's what they gave me for Sweden.

Yeah thanks man, but it's not just the shipping, it's the import duties I"m afraid of. Nearly everything gets caught through customs here (UK) and you can expect to add 30% or so…

@ArnoldLayne:

Any European stockists for this brand does anybody know? Seen a few on ebay from an authorised reseller who ships to EU but the delivery charges are comical. Thanks

Hi Arnold,

The Design/ Build a boot section of our website will be up and working in about 2 weeks latest and we will be having some preferable price changes to our stock boots and design a boot pricing (not that it shows any at the moment of course). If you've got a make up in mind feel free to ask.

Cheers.

Jamie.

Got a call from Kyle about my incoming competition boots today (already at 10 weeks and counting from order confirmation, was 6-8 week lead time when I ordered) seems they can't do a 430 mini-lug sole, regular trim with an E width… so close trim it is!  Kyle was super friendly and helpful as usual...

...but at this point I just want the boots... sigh

I guess the good news is that they're at the point where they're getting ready to sew on the soles.  Almost done, right?

[Bluegrass]

Like chinese water torture… but all over soon - and I'm sure the close trim will be great.

[tigerpac]

Hope so!  And hope they fit

[Bluegrass]

I sweated the fit issue, with all the time and money invested - I did the tracings and hoped for the best - and fortunately it turned out great… wearing them now - best fitting boots I've ever owned.  Good luck, it should be a matter of days one would think.

I'm liking the brown laces on the black boots! yay or nay?

Works for me, but I like odd lace/boot combos.

[Finn666]

Damn. Ten weeks already? I just ordered mine two weeks ago and am chomping at the bit already. I have a long way to go.

a beautiful pair of nomads for ya…

@fre-co:

White's natural cxl nomad at about 6 months.

Toe is collapsing nicely

[Bluegrass]

Agree, this boot looks great, and I really like this style - a nomad in black roughout may be in my future…

[tigerpac]

Soooo got ANOTHER call from Kyle today… they couldn't do a 430 sole on an E even with a close trim!  You would think in the history of White's somebody else would have ordered an E with a 430 but ooook.

So switching it up to a 700 sole... and will now continue to wait... again....

[urbanwoodsman]

Man that really sucks and makes no sense. Like you said, this had to of happened at some point before. I mean it's not like you have a size 17 or something crazy right?

[tigerpac]

Nope, 10 E.  Would have thought that was normal….

[Bluegrass]

Sucks.
