Whites Semi Dress Boot  

This is an excellent, informative review. Thanks for taking the time particularly for telling us your experience and your preferences. (I don't share all of your preferences but I so much appreciate hearing why you like what you do. This is also helpful in making choices.) Please do a follow up, especially when you've given them some harder wear. Curious about this leather too.

Good for you all guys in the US for these awesome boots. For us living in Europe ( me in Italy ) US brands boots have prohibitive costs due to the shippement costs and above all for duties costs on charge.

you really do a good job explaining all the subtle details of these boots vs other models. I'm learning a lot. Details matter, like your commentary on heel height and how it could look silly depending on circumstances.

Those are beauty!

Enjoy those new Semi Dress boots. They look great. Nice find! My 1st pair of White’s are an eBay find pair of Semi Dress in the dress brown leather w/ a cap toe in a C width. I love the 55 last and also the 11067 just like you. That dress brown is almost black in color for sure.

Relasting is I think when you completely deconstruct the shoe and then you form the uppers all over again to a new last or the same if you want to make it slightly bigger or smaller.

Nice I have em in black

Thanks for the video!! Will the arch support be hard to get used to? I normally wear sneakers.

I like those

pretty sure its a legit V bar.. its just that you have the half sole.. so the part that says Vibram isn't there.. Even with full Vibram soles, they use the Quabaug heel.., so don't let that throw you off

Congratulations

Just curious as to how these are doing 6 months later? I ordered a pair myself, albeit with different leather and an added cap toe. If I end up liking them I can see myself getting the brown chrome excel like yours. Beautiful boots! Any info as to how you like them and how they are getting their patina would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah for someone making $700 plut boots. This is when you outsource all your packaging. Even get a UPS franchise and have a whole internal shipping team to make sure everything is bubble wrapped. At scale this doesnt cost money, especially when you are owned by a Japanese conglomerate. Thats the exact reason you get bought by a larger company to take advantage of scale... The VP who oversees Whites just needs to put the foot down and say they are investing in better shipping.

Like the GoodYear welt

They redo.Ed mine with a clone 700 vibram and it’s softer and is not lasting that long 🤨🧐😒

Brown dress may be brown dressing on the mid sole
