Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[spurs61]

Yeah, those brown horsehide SDs are really, really nice, FlyingJ. Enjoy!

Finally decided on my next pair. I went for the Cougar - northwest last, red dog roughout, brass eyes, rolled top, celastic toe, 2021 sand sole, natural edge. I don't have anything quite like this from White's. I emailed Kyle and he confirmed that the sizing up from my usual White's size was advisable (11.5D from the usual 11D). This is what I thought given that my Baker's Oxfords (northwest last) are also 11.5D. Let the waiting begin!

You're going to love them. I have the exact same build except with soft toe and lined.

I am glad to announce to all you White's oxford lovers. You can now purchase our 300 oxford and 54 oxford. Only catch is it can only be purchased at our retail store in Spokane or by calling our retail sales number. Thanks for being patient while I worked this out with our parent company.

@sambam, where do you guys sell your factory seconds?

If its a small cosmetic issue they usually go on ebay. Most ebay boots are ones where the order ticket was read wrong in the factory. Example is, boot called for no toe box but one was put in. We have been cutting old sample inventory and placing them on ebay. A construction issue is never put on ebay.

Awesome news. I'm not in the market, but I'll spread the word to those who would be interested.

Another forum you may be interested in joining is Superfuture. They have a section for denim/workwear and that's where all the boot discussion is but it's in a more broad topic called 'shoes that look better with age'. Lots of people in there that love/own/appreciate White's and other high quality brands of work and casual boots. I already shared your casual boot prototype built on the Barrie last and it got a very positive reception.

What is the difference between the 300 and 54 oxford? Does anyone have pictures of these?

 

[FrankCowperwood]

Would like to know the same thing. Quick search turns up a few images but hard to know exactly what I'm looking at.

Oxfords sound good to me!

Will have to send in a fit sheet to White's.

Just ordered the spare off of eBay. Sorry for the doubly crappy pictures, both cell phone and in the mirror. Been wanting to try a pair with a big rubber Vibram sole and also to see if a 9ee would work for me better than a 9.5e (the jury is out..).

What strikes me about these is how much more sprung the toe is compared to more standard soles. It actually seems close to a Viberg 310, which I love. It also has more arch support than I expected, doesn't seem much different actually from my standard whites...
