Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[sambam]



Curious about the lifestyle line but the MP commando boot sounds delish.
Real soon you say...looking forward to seeing them.

Yes our intro to the quote "service boot" will be the MP. Military police boot. After the footwear news platform show in Las Vegas the week of Feb 20 we should be open for orders on this model. If our lasts come in by then. Built on barrie last. 2 soles. Redone half lug (commando sole) and dainite sole. Most leathers will be available. No wb or french calf as of yet. I will keep you all informed.

The ingenuity of people never fails to amaze me. I just received a Nigerian Scam through private messaging on this forum. What next!

Oh, I see what you mean. Almost same as dress leather, just a little thicker. Thank you. I think I can get a shot right now.

This pair is exactly what I want to buy on eBay. your pair looks really great. Beautiful! I think I can give a shot now. Thank you very much!

Navy cxcel on 461 with cristy crepe. Same sprung toe. Going to asia.

And with nine eyelets no less -- hard core.

Anyone have any experience of 461 vs 55 with regard to width?

 

[chicken1616]

I have SD's and Traveler's, same size, same width. To me only (caveat), the Traveler's (461) seem a little wider than the SD's (55).

Hi sambam,

Is it possible to make a Packers with Cuban/logger heel?

 

[marvin100]



Agreed! Sorry for the duplicate question, @Sambam. Just to be clear, are these Stumptown work oxfords the "300 oxford"?

I have these in black (Chromexcel?) and they're ace

Hello everyone new to SF had to make a profile after reading all the posts in this thread, just wanted to share pictures of the Kenyan bullhide semi dress I picked up off eBay while waiting for my custom packer boots to be made.

How did you go size wise?

Welcome, looking good.

Got a 10.5D Smokejumper to try on.

I made a red arrow where its a little tight. In the blue area I definitely have a little space

The ball of my foot may be a little forward of the widest part of the inside of the boot. The heel feels ok, but the instep may be a little tight, that may be just the arch-ease..

This is how much room I have in the toe:

Boots look good!

I asked about an 11C Brandon from Baker's said:

You want about a thumb’s width from the end of the boot to your big toe. You would be looking at about 1/8” difference in length between an 11 and a 10.5. The width between a 10.5D and 11C is nearly identical. An 11C is going to be 1/8” narrower in the ball however will be 1/8” bigger in the instep and heel.

Some other opinions would be appreciated.

I also have red and blue arrow problem with smokejumper last, but comfortably fit in SD last same size.

If I judged my boots just from a try on I probably would have ordered like an EEE instead of a D. I though something was definitely wrong and I could barely get them on. In less than 3 days, the fit like gloves and now I have to tie them pretty tightly if I wear thin socks. Don't know if this is true with all lasts, but I did think it has something to do with the rolled welt construction.
