White's Boots

[Megatron1505]

A) The vibram sole is slightly narrower than the old sole, what your seeing is the gap  :-\

I totally agree, didn't ask for it but it's there now so…...

The soles make my SD's wearable through winter, and the job isn't top notch, but it will be fine until I can get them done properly in the new year.

@MastersOfDeath:

Mega what size are you in these and in something like DMs sir?

I wear a UK 10 in both MOD.

[Giles]

The brown will be there for about a week, it'll fall off in triple quick time.

And yes as a job for winter - perfect…...

[Megatron1505]

Thank god for that, these will be my winter boots of choice now for a (mostly) daily wear, and the brown does look absolutely shit.

Looks like the glue is letting go…..

[Finn666]

not quite a fan of the resole job but as long as it does the job…you're good to go

[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.

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.

[demonito]

red dog rough out

[thomasnunnally]

Agreed.  Monday, thanks for posting those.

[yen]

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

[Omega Man]

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