These are good boots. I didn't reach out to whites and ask about a resole and was quite shocked at the price of $280. I'll probably end up taking them to a local cobbler and getting a price that way.
Those are on sale right now for I think $275. They have a few different pairs that are 20% and 25% off, but I think the sale ends tomorrow. This is a Labor Day sale, but I’m pretty sure they do this same sale 2x a year.
Thanks for the video. How did you determine your size? Using their fitting guide I’m also 9.5D. Your mention of the tight fore foot gives me some pause as I like a some wiggle room for my toes.
I have plenty of room width wise. The only issue is that the top of the boot somewhat sits on the top of your foot/toes. Not to where you can't move them, but it does take getting used to. And I just went down a half size from my normal shoes size.
Great to see boots from a guy who works in them rather than the folks who buy them because it’s a fad and all their buddies wear wear boots. Having had these into their “patina” contest would have probably scared them.
