LTG BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 23 | 06 WHITE'S BOOTS CLASSIC BULL HIDE SEMI DRESS

this was may first WHITE'S BOOT ever: a classic SEMI-DRESS. i built this boot for my own at BAKER SHOES in 2007. it was a bit strange and very exciting because the boot was really expensive compared to all my RED WINGs and i did not know anything about the fit. in 2007 ask some one for WHITE'S BOOTS in germany: nobody knew this great traditional boot maker from spokan, washington. time changed; the last 6 years brands like VIBERG, WESCO and WHITE'S became well known in europe. but boots of these labels are still expensive and not pushed by distribution. good to know, so they will never get a mainstream products. beside, the higher prices of these boots are okay indeed. if you ever wear a WHITE'S you will feel the price of it: made of heavy and best leathers, solid and lifetime built, most comfortable – this is what i call LIFE TIME GEAR! in germany you get WHITE'S BOOTS at the BOOTERY at VATER&SOHN in hamburg, germany. pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 06 WHITE'S BOOTS SEMI DRESS 2-TONE

i think this boot is one of the most exciting work boots i own: 2 colored with a touch of the 30s and 40s but so strong and heavy for what WHITE'S BOOTS are known for. but at the same time so smooth because of the used leathers. the color combination of smooth light brown water buffalo and dark brown french calf is so beautiful and extraordinary. my feet never, really never, get hurt by a WHITE'S BOOT when wearing the first times. i remember me ordering the first time a WHITE'S and i just ordered the size i knew from other work boots i wore at this time and the choice was perfect. often i read that WHITE'S fit larger – i can't say that. i have absolutely the same size in WHITE'S as in f.ex. RWS, DANNER, YUKETEN and ALDEN boots. but i must say WHITE'S are the most comfortable ones, but at the same time weighing most.
