Brilliant. You guys finally coming around on the WhitesCowbiker wrote:Okay, after giving up on finding UK caliber cognac debry boots/borgues to burnish toe, decided the next best alternative was to go the custom route with the Whites Semi-Dress to make them as 'dress' as possible, in british tan. Will do my usual leather voodoo and shine to them once broken in, but specs were single leather soles, antiqued eyes and hooks, no liner, no loops, no toe cap, black edged close trimmed single leather sole and 1/4 shorter heal (I'm over 6 foot as is). Kyle at Baker worked to get sizing figured out and got them to me surprisingly fast for a custom order. Stay tuned for the cowbiker leather treatment and maybe even my first attempt at burnishing, unsure how it'd look on the darker color.
Well done, those look nice. I'll be checking out some Whites.Cowbiker wrote:Okay, after giving up on finding UK caliber cognac debry boots/borgues to burnish toe, decided the next best alternative was to go the custom route with the Whites Semi-Dress to make them as 'dress' as possible, in british tan.

I bought these last year after hearing friends rave about them. I was very anti slip-on style. Figuring that they would slip off the foot and not be comfortable. They are by far the most comfortable hunting boots I've worn. I also get cold feet all the time despite how many pairs of socks (or how few) I wore and my feet are always constable in them. No break in as well. They feel the same today as when I got them.
Thanks Chris, full specs of order/config:CGSshorty wrote:Those look great, very similar to my cigar Beckmans. I like the heel you chose. I can't deal with the silly heel White's usually have.

They'd cringe b/c this is on top of sapphir cream and wax...
