White's Boots

[Colin G]

I have some 6" tall, Brown Dress Bounty Hunters on order. No pics from me for a couple months, yet.

Kicking this thread back into action.

If anyone is interested, I posted a in-depth review of the Otto White's that I put in this thread clear back in 2017 when they were almost new. Hard to believe it's been that long. It's in the General Forum, which seems a bit slower-paced and less frequently visited that the Outerwear forum...

Just saw this White’s thread.

I’m traveling for a few weeks right now and wore my most comfortable boots. My feet feel better after exploring all day in these than even sneakers.

9338 Swing Last

Black Oil R/O & Black Elk Tan

^^Those are very sharp boots, and look quite comfortable.

I find that the the Swing’s relatively lower heel makes walking easy. And the arch support keeps my feet happy.

I bought them for work - that’s why I went with the rough out. Though, they turned out too nice for that. They are not fancy leather, but the combo punches above their weight look wise.
Casual, of course, but distinctive.

Is there a reason almost no one here talks about these boots?
I tried the "350 Cruiser CXL" on at a local store here in germany and really liked them. But they cost 900€, so that is quite expensive for a pair of boots. I had Solovairs and even Iron Rangers and could not walk in them for a long time. And I tried for months to make them work. In the end I sold both again.

I really need to try on the boots so ordering online is kind of annoying, or even impossible if I can't just buy them here in germany. So being able to get the whites boots in store is really appealing.

I can’t think of any reason in particular, other than the fact that they have been around forever so maybe they are taken for granted.
I love my Whites Boots. I have two pair of the Semi Dress with Medallion toe caps and they are awesome.

Yes, their prices have shot up in the past five years.

But as far as discussing them -
