White's Boots

[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.

@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 are on my wish list. My favorite boots I don’t own.

My 350 Cruisers I ordered from Baker's last year arrived today, and man... I don't think I was prepared. These things are ridiculously awesome.

I'd been slightly worried by a couple of things I'd heard online in various places, namely sizing weirdness (people's theories and experiences seem to be radically disparate) and questions of decreased quality (I feel like people love to say this about so many brands). Thankfully, neither was a problem.

The build quality seems nuts. I couldn't find a single thing that gave me any kind of concern, and they just seem more solid than any other pair of boots I've ever owned. They are absolute chonks.

Size wise, I've mentioned in various places on here that I've often ended up with boots that are a little too small, owing that my foot is between a 13 and 14 Brannock, and most size-down-one heritage type boots only make up to 12. For these, I wondered if I might go for a 12.5, but I just followed the advice on White's site, measured my foot, and went with their suggested size of 13. I was really worried I'd be swimming in them, but they fit perfectly.

I've also heard quite a bit about the break-in being tough with these, but so far I'm not running into any trouble; in fact they feel downright comfortable. The ladder-rung thing thing is definitely there — this arch isn't playing around — but I dig the feel. The soles feel really anchoring when I walk. Not sure I'd wanna walk five miles in em today, but the degree of initial comfort is a nice surprise.

Only mild gripe is a silly one: the color's darker than I'd like. That said, I know from pics that the cinnamon waxed flesh lightens up as it's worn and scuffed, and those worn pics are why I bought these in the first place, so I'm just going to have to beat the shit out of em . I couldn't be more psyched. As soon as I put them on, I thought "man, I'm gonna have these forever."

Thanks to @SKT for buying advice and moral support as I whined during the grueling wait. The forum's best boot wingman right there.

@popvulture hot damn…they look amazing man! I dig the color and, as you said, they’ll lighten up. Also happy to hear the sizing worked out. Looking forward to seeing how they evolve for you. Isn’t NBD (new boot day) the best?! I guess aside from NIHD.

Stiff competition!

Great pair, that rolled welt stitching is so cool.

My "work boots" White's/Division Road Loggers. Used tonight to work the chains at my son's football game. I had to run several times. They're not made for running lol

Just added to the collection w these Roland Sands collabs

[SKT]

Very cool. Wedge sole so comfortable and I dig the double toe

[SKT]

@Denimhead-0 and now I’m really curious as to what that 610 last is like compared to the 55

[travisxray]

Did anyone else happen to pick up a pair of these? I just ordered some, I lucked out and my size was still in stock. Hopefully they fit well

[Choko]

I was going to but I couldn’t justify the purchase. Even though these would look sick on the bike. But I’ll just go with some Nomad’s instead
