Nice, what are they?

[Chris]

Knowing Ed, they're Wagyu calf hide custom made by a 100 year old master Japanese bootmaker who came out of retirement just to make a pair for him.

I've been lurking around forums enough to make me laugh out loud when I read this.

to those that own a pair of white's boots (particularly the semi dress):

i'm looking at a pair online but i am unsure of sizing.  I am a 9d in an Alden Indy, and a 9 in RW.  I'm wondering if White's run big?  I found a pair of 8.5's online that i really want.

Cap toe boot recommendations?  I'm looking at C&J Coniston and similar.  Thanks.

@Giles:

Jusy spolen to Brett Viberg, the sample should be ready in 2 weeks.  I am hoping availability in late Spring…..

Gives us time to save up - thanks…

These are similar to the C&J Coniston but a bit cheaper I think.

Not quite the same thing, as they're more overtly 'rugged' or military looking, but I like these:

Veldtschoen

It's Dutch (or Sud-Afrikaner) but I can't really translate it… Means 'shoe you wear out in the field'... It looks mighty nice though, and rugged as fuck...

Oh Geo, I've been eyeing off those Tim Little's - rate them highly?

[Geo]

Geo, they look awesome.  Any chance of a picture of yours?

here you go

the leather is heavily waxed - so can make the boot colour vary a lot with temperature, but they need a bit of TLC too
