White's Boots

[Megatron1505]

They're very very nice erk.

Seconded that's a beauty

[erk]

wore the new boots all day today at work. first few hours were awesome, now my feet and legs hurt. Mostly around the top of my ankle. the fabled "white's bite" area. these things make the semi dress look like sissy shoes.

I'm a little worried about the fit on the left boot. thats my smaller foot, and White's was really adamant about me wearing a 10b on that foot rather than the 10.5B that goes with the right one. Its kinda tight on the sides of my big toe and pinky toe. Hopefully that'll go away; I'm only 9 hours into the 80 hr break-in period.

Any suggestions for getting this out?

2 overnight treatments of Pecard's when I got em apparently not enough…

[erk]

what is that? wine?

if so, I'm thinkin' thats forever. or at least get used to it. I'd have a go at some lexol leather cleaner though. or saddle soap.

whiskey

[zwer]

I'd leave it. Whiskey and blood add character.

Fewer stains are more manly sounding than whiskey.

[Seul]

Draw a little mustache on it and give it some suspenders.

Soak the rest of the boot in whiskey to even it out.

I got a stain like that on a pair of CXL Aldens. It eventually just kind of blended in and now I can't see it at all. Not from Whiskey but from hot sauce!

[tigerpac]

Chris's idea is leading the pack so far lol

By the end of winter you will never even know it was there.

Just picked these up. Found them reasonably true to size. Perhaps a tad bit wide and a bit too much heel but damn they are purty.

[riffblaster general]

thinking of letting my semi dress's go.  size 9 D.

Little update - lexol didn't do anything… whiskey 1 me 0.  (well really by now really whiskey 500 me 0)

whiskey bath is looking better and better

[tigerpac]

I have used saddle soap then a treatment of obenaufs or pecards or whatever you like, than a good shine. should be all you need to get rid of a stain. these leathers are tough and can handle the cleanings. i got industrial oils on my vibergs and saddle soap got the stains out and the obenaufs replenished the leather.

Got an order update after just four weeks - nice surprise!
