I got some used white's that are awesome but they're just a hair too big for me and it often leads to blisters around my heel since my foot slips around when I walk for extended periods of time. What is the best solution? I checked out some heel inserts on Amazon but they all look super cheap and poorly made. Are there any specific socks with extra cushion I should be looking at? Sometimes I wear a thin sock under my normal boot socks and that works fine, but then my feet get real sweaty.

the problem with black leather is that conditioners with a lot of neutral waxes give this hazy white shine
if you just want to condition then renovateur is fine and it will restore the color back a bit

I see whites boots has a sale. Should I buy a pair now? Should I get hand sewn or are all their boots fine? I originally wanted Truman boots but it seems like they don’t have many in stock. 10.75 heel to toe, 11.75 heel to ball, b width right foot, 10.75 heel to toe, 11.25 heel to ball, b width left I have wide toe sprawl so my pinky toes usually hit the side of boots.

Those familiar with Whites:
Is there a general last that's suited to a flat footed fag that can only find comfort in alden's trubalance? (D width)
Considering my track record with sizing I'd probably not be able to get a proper sizing unless I physically travelled to the US and went to whatever state White's is in as I assume their "send in the measurements by Baker's" or whatever aren't magicians.

[Anonymous No.17895737]

>>17895733
regardless of your feet geometry, the 55 mid/high arch last is usually the most comfortable after a while

the shitty way to do it is to ask Franks to give you a fitting by filling in their very detailed fit sheet and having them recommend you a size for a boot on the 55 last, then buy whites on that last in that size.

Thanks for these last keywords. Do any of you have experience with hard to fit feet and these lasts in particular?
In the case of the Frank's, why wouldn't I just give them a go? It's not that I'm particularly attached to White's itself, more the general PNW bootstyle in general for which they seem to be best known. I seem to recall reading about some worrying things about Nick's and Truman.
I didn't even know about Frank's until recently and only because they were mentioned in relation to Nicks.

Eh, it depends on what you are using them for.

I don't think it really matters if your main use for the boot is just a slightly more rugged replacement for a pair of sneakers. If you aren't going into the woods or working in water/dirty conditions, a tongue gusset doesn't do too much that Z-lacing wouldn't fix 90% of. If you are doing outdoorsy things then a decent sized tongue gusset is 100% necessary though.

The main strike against then IMO is the fiberboard midsole. It's not inappropriate for a shoe of that price but based on other $200 to $250 range shoes I've worn with fiber board midsoles I'd expect you will get about one resole out of them however long it takes you to get to that point.

Blocky in places that it shouldn’t be, when these boots are placed next to each other it can be a little difficult to determine which is Right boot vs Left boot. The fit is really odd.

>This issue is not exclusive to Jakkrabbits. My Sagara (and a pair of my Blkbrds) have the same issue, but am 0-2 with ID makers using lasts that resemble anything anatomical. Another thing that doesn’t help is that many ID brands will not do half sizes.

>When there are discussions about the price tag of makers like C&J, Alden, Trickers, etc, you have to acknowledge that part of that cost is the refinement of the lasts and the work that went into creating them. This pair is a prime example, there is no doubt in my mind that the talented team at Jakkrabbits put in some work to build these and it comes across on the details. However they need to take a look at the lasts and do a little more refinement, in my opinion.

>I’m glad I got this pair, they do fit but they have helped me decide that this might be the last pair I get from ID (at least in this model). There are other makers like JLB/Whites/Nicks that make a good LTT, and I’ve got my eyes set on a pair of Black CXL Nicks next.

your toes don't hold your foot in the boot, it's the ball of the foot and that determines sizing for width
from your foot print it looks like it's sized correctly, leaning towards too generous
having toe room is nice, but i wouldn't attatch much meaning to toe prints, if i doesn't feel like your toes are squished and it doesn't rub, then it's ok

Where can I find genuine leather cowboy/work boots? I am so sick of seeing chink shit everywhere, even on "genuine leather" boot shop websites. I need something I could wear for years, and it absolutely has to be American-made with real leather. Something that can handle being in muck and snow.

>genuine leather
When you read the words "genuine leather" you know it's shit.
What you are actually looking for is "full grain leather"
And if it's suede or roughout you're looking at, try to find unsplit hides.

If you want a combination of full grain leather from Western/well known tanneries, made with a construction method that allows for resoling and a long life, and made in the West, you are looking at a bare minimum of like $400 or so.
Brands like Carmina/TLB/Allen Edmonds are not expensive, they are doing it literally as cheaply as it can possibly be done while ticking all the above boxes.
