White's Boots

@Megatron1505:

The glue is strong, the pics are a bit misleading. I wasn't 100% happy with what was done, but it works and it was cheap, they'll go to Spokane for the star treatment in the spring, completely new resole, double leather rather than single.

now this sounds promising ;)…

Don't you guys slip/fall a lot on cobbles/stony ground when it's wet and you wear leather soles? I had to get my leather 1000 miles rubbered.

[Seul]

Yeah - this is why I went for a boot with a feckin commando sole this time… No more slapstick on ice provided by me this winter...

I enjoyed picturing this.  I don't wear my leather soles on ice.  If need be, I wear some other shoes and put the leather soles on once I get to work.

What leather option might that be monday?

[Lucifer]

Hmm, is that the semi dress? I  just love the shape of that boot.

red dog rough out

[thomasnunnally]

Agreed.  Monday, thanks for posting those.

Its not a semi dress.  Semi dress only has 6 holes or 4 holes and 2 hooks

How much do they roughly cost?  Any suggestions on size if i wear 8.5 in Red Wing and I am a US 9?

Bakers will ask you to draw around your foot and scan it and email them the scan.  They will tell you what size you need

[Megatron1505]

Same size as your Red Wings, those boots look like Bounty Hunters with a few mods.

some different sort of make-ups as opposed to what i usually see

White's are crazily expensive in the Japanese market. You can get the same boots from buildaboot.com for almost 1/3 the price. Gosh..

[madmonday]

supply & demand 

& the cost of shipping to Japan & all the hands in the pot will cause the prices to go up.
