these are BEAUTIES! How did you have them made? I didn't know White's had an option for captoes! Do they offer the option for cat's paw rubber heels?

 

[edmond]

you have to send them to a cobbler like eddies shoe repair for the cats paws or half soled vibrams..


yeah i ordered this thru bill at stronghold in venice

Man! I love the look of the cat's paw soles! If you send your shoes to Eddie, he can do that?!

 

[edmond]

Fantastic! Right now I've got single leather soles on my White's, but I'm definitely going to send them to Eddie's for half sole cat paws one day! Thanks so much!

whites custom smoke jumpers

the amount of custom variations that are possible with White's boots are really very impressive! I wish there were highly documented visual examples of all that they offer. I just found a few random pictures online....

double sole or triple sole?

two toned

tan bull hide

They've got options for brass, black or antique all eyelets or eyelet/hook combos.

I'd love to see the french calf, water buffalo and other bull hides! The options just keep on going! :eusa_doh:

The boots in those last pictures remind me of 'Homesteaders' made by Nicks custom boots of Spokane.
