White's Boots
-
I'm guessing those are working boots, not walking around town and city boots like 99.9% of us use them for though.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if those were worn by an actual smokejumper for 7 wildfire seasons and have been rebuilt 2-3 times already.

Baker's in-house resole with Dr Sole raw cord half soles and heels….
(Not mine, but been harpin on Kyle to stock this stuff
)
-
I have a pair of Vibergs on their way to Bakers to get the Dr. Soles put on. They said the price would be $100-120, not too bad.
-
Have plans to do the same thing with my Corcoran x WWII Impressions boonies… Just can't quite justify a $200 resole on em; $100 is a bit easier pill to swallow
-
That is a pretty accurate representation of natural CXL…..
As is this....

Kinda liking those Dr. Soles, wonder if they will ever add as an option for new boots? Guess they'd have to get White's and Wesco to agree, perhaps a tough sell…
Agree with G, that's a pretty true pic of nat. cxl. Mine when new, with a nat. cxl belt from Hollows. Mine look a bit yellow in that light...
This one is better pic
And "used"

Here are the pictures of my new White's. Ordered on 2/7, and received them 3/14.
White's Bounty Hunters
White's Cougars with Giles' favorite Vibram 2021 sole.
Is there a size difference between the two?
I`ve heard cougar is one half up recommended?
Love the BH`s!

More cordo from Write's River….
Size 8E
Don’t snooze on this one.

I'm gonna try to get them. They might be a tad small but the E makes me think I could wear with thin socks.

The BHs definitely fit bigger than the Cougars. Realistically I could have gone up a width in the Cougars, but stayed the same in length and been fine. They don't fit too tight now, but a width bigger would allow for thicker socks. I also have Smoke Jumpers on the swing last, and the BHs feel like they have more room across the ball of the foot compared to those.

My oxfords with the NW last fitted right out of the box, the SJ last fitted a little tight, but now they fit perfect, SD was also fine out of the box. My new pair (cougars) with the NW last is a little tight, but I think the veryveryvery thick Black Rough Out leather is the reason why. The leather did not soften up, so I gave em to a cobbler, will pick em up on Monday.
