    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    How heavy is a pair of whites 350 Cutters in black dress leather or chromexcel?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I’m considering switching out my soles for something lighter. I have the bounty hunters in Horsehide with a vibram100 lug sole. Would a different sole make a significant difference? Or is it not worth the change? Thanks

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The heel is fine, the big toe area is firm, more than snug where I can hardly wiggle my toes. The left side pinky is hitting the front/side of the boot.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Hey gang, I’m following up on post I made from December. The issue was that my left custom bounty hunter from bakers was definitely too tight, like more than a firm grip. You all mentioned I should get in touch with bakers, so I did. It was a painless process, they’re professionals and a...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Question about boot arch: My left foot is cramped in my Custom Bounty Hunters (as mentioned in previous post), but the arch actually feels fine on the left. Alternatively, my right foot feels great in the toe box, (which makes sense because it’s a whole width bigger at 8.5 EE)… BUT the arch is...

    So it looks like Baker’s is going to make it right, they’re suggesting I break them in as much as possible and if I need to get my left foot to a double E, then it’s possible and I’ll send them in when I’m ready.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thank you, I’m realizing now, looking back over the original emails with bakers I’ve been mistakenly mentioning my red wing iron ranger sizing as 8.5 E and not the correct EE. At one point they asked for confirmation that my left foot was in fact single E based on my tracings. And I had done my...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Asking for some advice or reassurance, also asked on Reddit: Got my custom Bakers Bounty Hunter’s in black horsehide recently. (Look and smell amazing). Went through the whole tracing process, speaking with Kyle and the staff for on and off for a week or so originally to find my fit, took...

    Dainite soles have never been my favorite either. Some people like em. Thank you, I will take your advice. I’m thinking it’s best to wait as well.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I put in my custom semi dress bounty hunter order the other day. Now I’m taking a look at the white’s Main Street in caramel suede with mini lug. It’s been suggested by the people at bakers that I go down half a size to 8EE with a EEE ball of the foot. I may slow down and avoid throwing down...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    hello all, if I were to order a pair of bounty hunters with the brown edge, but later decide I want a black edge, what would that take to achieve the black? Would I need a complete resole or is this a case where a cobbler could add black edge dressing?

    To my untrained eye, those three leathers look indistinguishable

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I just heard horsehide ages great. It was the first suggestion around here when I asked last week. Do you think it’s worth it for horsehide? Just casual use, where I can get a shine. I’m pretty excited! I’ll put in my order before the sale is over. Sizing’s all set, with a combo last, EE on the...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Would someone out there be kind enough to post images of their black horsehide bounty hunters? I’m not finding too many black horsehide examples online

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    But just spoke to someone at bakers and she said it gives more space for the toe box, and better for wider feet. Which is great if true. But I also would like a second confirmation on this, just because it contradicts what I’ve read.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    No, I simply liked the look of the cutters and couldn’t place the difference. I’ve been fitted on the 55 last with a wider right ball of the foot at bakers. So I’m thinking I’ll go with the bounty hunters with lace to toe. Have you heard if they affect the feeling of fit for wider feet? I have...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Can you help me with words to get a clearer mental picture on the differences between the Whites Bounty Hunter and 350 Cutter? *(I’m figuring out my sizing currently at bakers, purely asking for aesthetic, quality differences)

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I’m with you on the sizing and last situation. I’m doing that work currently, and have my tracings and measurements sent in already. I like the process! As for the dress leather, based on my previous search here, seems it’s well liked in this community, I just don’t have much info about what it...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    So I’m thinking of going with black French calf or black dress for a new pair of whites, based on some of your recommendations. Can someone direct me to a resource with more information on what black dress leather is and what are it’s benefits? Google searches just come up with black leather...
