Can you help ID these boots?

This is a photo that was posted sometime back. I'm curious what the shoes are the couple of guys are wearing in the front with the white dots on the soles? Does anyone have an idea?

They're modern repros of '30s vintage American work boots.
The spots are like you see on the old "Cat's Paw" soles.

Difficult to say which particular brand they are- there are some US made ones ("Whites", for instance)and I think some Japanese made- you see them on the Japanese web-shops that sell the repro A-2 flight jackets, etc.

Look at post #29 on this thread and you'll see them-

JUST what you're looking for.

You're welcome!;)

Thanks guys!
I recently got a pair of 6" cap toe Chippewa's but keep noticing a bunch of great looking boots out there. I'm dreaming of some of those White's and European Red Wings....maybe someday!
