    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I have the same with Vibram 700 soles. I can compare them not to a 100, but a Sierra. I have a NW lasted six inch White's boot with the Sierra sole. The 700 is a bit lighter and broke in almost immediately compared to the Sierra.

    The Official Alden Thread for 2024 - Share Reviews, Sizing, Advice, and Photos.

    Q: The quarters on Indy 405s in my size are a finger's width from touching when laced. Will the quarters on Indy in Color 8 shell be worse or the same in your opinions? I'd like to grab a pair. These fit properly, with the exception of the quarters. I have wide feet with skinny heels and...

    Red Dog smooth. I have brown and black dress, brown HH, and red dog smooth. Owned and flipped black CXL If I was forced to keep just one, it would be tough to choose between HH and RDS.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Try them on for sure. Anecdote:I'm 11.5 e in heel/ball to heel size in the Trubalance but had to go with a 12 EEE due to toe width and use a 3/4 orthotic to tighten the heel fit. My last 3 toes still barely touch the sides of the boots. I have odd feet. Shoe Mart Alden seconds and eBay are the...

    Here's some not so perfect stitching on my HH SD. Every other pair I own have near perfect stitching. All are fine with me including these. Character.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Shackelford r. shackleford, (great choice of username!), I have a similar shaped foot, including skinny ankles which causes the eyelets to almost touch. I wound up changing lasts to get something close. My toes still barely touch the boot. My options were a) custom last or b) get as close as...

    We'd carpool to Greenbelt and hop on the Metro. This was two decades ago too. Things have changed and Corollas are more expensive .
