    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    And they fucked up the order. Was supposed to be 8 eyes, not 6. And the White's logo is equally crooked on both sides. Who stamped that thinking it looked correct. It looks like ass. Rest of the boot is acceptable. I honestly don't know what to do at this point.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Just got my shipping notification lol. This is where I used to get giddy anticipating a new pair of boots. Now, i'm just hoping they got the order all correct and there aren't too many issues. I also hate that i feel that way. :(

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    So regarding wait times, where is everyone at? For me, ordered 4/22/22 So, 166 days and counting. Never thought i'd see the day where a pair of White's would take close to 6 months.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I think thats the problem I've come to as well...Mine were awesome, and then the squeak which for me happened late according to Kyle. I wanted to deal with them but I work inside so it was much more apparent when you walked. If I were on a job site i might not care. I tried the powder...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Sadly this has become increasingly common over the last few years. Mine happened after 7 months. I was told when I sent them in they are getting a few a week with squeak issues.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I just crossed 16 weeks yesterday. The order is a re-make through Kyle and was told 20 weeks at the time. If I squint I can remember 6-8 weeks in 2010 🤣

    The new Chore boots don't seem like a bad deal for $359

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The C461 has a more upturned toe than any other White's last. Width to me is about the same as the SD last, maybe a hair narrow but I didn't notice as I have had both. Arch support felt the same to me as well. So if you like the kicked up toe, the 461 is what you want.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    2009...I had started this journey then but didn't buy my first pair of White's until 2010 which was a pair of Classic Work Boots...they were 419$ My Vibergs bought in 2012 were some of the last MTO boots they were willing to do and were $650

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    His work is other worldly. Had an opportunity to order a pair when the wait was 10 months and had to bail at the last minute. His nail shank 2 boots are literally my favorite boot, similar to the Viberg 310 last i love. JD also happens to be a really good dude. Would happily throw down what he's...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Alrighty then, so I have a brand new order in to Bakers, replacing the ones i've had so many issues with over the last year. Pretty much the same order with a few tweaks: White's SD - 8 eyelets special order C-461 Last Distressed RoughOut - whole boot Standard leather toe cap - YES All...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Sorry, I meant no rubber through the heel stack. I had a pair of SDs with the 90" block heel and wanted to get some opinions on sticking with that height or going 1/4 lower.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Wanted to get some opinions. Bakers is making me another pair of SDs. Getting mostly the same order but was thinking about getting the block heel 1/4 lower. Its a half sole set up so no rubber in the heel. Any opinions on a lowered block heel on SDs? Break in the same? arch support the same...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Appreciate the feedback Andy. I sent pics and a vid to Kyle and he said that something is def off. He wants me to do a full break in with them and see if they settle. If not, he will take care of me. I love Bakers.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I sent an email to Kyle to get his thoughts as well. I'm just concerned that the heel fatigue I felt yesterday was due to this. Never felt that before and i've had plenty of PNW break ins. It's like when i'm standing straight up on tile or concrete, It feels like i'm...
