White's Boots

[popvulture]

Yeah I feel ya. IMO they start to look best once they’re a bit beat up, so generally I just let mine stay that way most of the time, apart from the occasional itch to spiff em up.

@popvulture best part about these is they have been broken in. Totally comfortable from the get. My “new” ones…not so much

[popvulture]

Hahaha I’m ready for mine to arrive so I can experience this! My feet are ready. Or maybe they just think they are…

@SKT boots look good on you. They go great with denim but I mostly wore them with business casual (semi-dress ) attire. Slacks and a dress shirt/sweater. Even paired them with my heavier wool suits. Enjoy them.

@SKT in my burgundy cxl with dress toe caps. Had to throw in some IH too (ihj-74)

[SKT]

@Kirk what a great look and love the cap toes!

White's Boots x Snake Oil Provisions

My favorite pair of boots

For a number of reasons, the lead time being the biggest, I've been putting a custom order of Wesco engineers on hold. While searching around for alternatives, I found and ordered a pair of these..... https://shop.whitesboots.com/collaborations/max-schaaf-4q-x-whites-engineer/

Ticks all the boxes.....
10"
Black CXL
Stitchdown
Unstructured Toe
Lowered Heel
Vibram Mini Lug
EE Option

Estimated 16-18 week lead time. Hoping I'll have them on my feet by June.

yeah nice @scooter I also like this one

(how do they compare to Wesco in regard of sizing?)

[endo]

Seems they run big. On their webpage they're saying Most customers are a half size down from their natural shoe size.
Can anybody confirm?

[SKT]

@endo my White’s are 1/2 size down from my brannock measurements and fit spot on. Same sizing as Red Wing Iron Ranger. Seems to be the consensus I think. So I’m 10D brannock…9.5D White’s.

[endo]

thx @SKT

[Matt]

Same here. Same size as my Wescos and Red Wings. 1/2 size down from my standard sneaker size. The exception being Nike where I go 1/2 size up.

[scooter]

@endo , this is my first time with White's. But, from the info they provide on their site, and from various resources around the web, 1/2 size down seems to be the right move. The EE width option is the icing on the cake for me, though. I'd normally have to go custom, because it's not usually offered. I went 11EE with these. My only pair of Wesco is the black rough out IH/FP6. I'm the same size in those...

@Denimhead-0 those look great. How have they been comfort-wise? I’ve had my eye on a pair for some time.

Very comfortable, right there w my Red Wing Mocs

First pair of whites , the Max Schaaf 4Q x whites riding boot. Went with a 9.5D , half size down from my redwing size and they still feel a tad roomier than my rw , glad I sized down. Really comfy off the bat, quite happy w them.

@spleef_oner those look great…nice pick up!

Thanks, @SKT !
