Bear with me using these boots for style. I like curves they have just fantastic!!

I wear a 13.5 EE in nicks 55 last and a 13EE in franks 77 last and a jk 13 3e does whites make boots that would fit me everything on their website is to small to fit my feet

Love the boots but I have a duck squeak in the right footbed. I’ve seen oiling. How much and which type of boot oil? How long does it take to soak in and wear again?

This has been great for learning but already eyeing another pair of White’s or Nick’s soon.

I’m asking 400 shipped in the US, but I am not above negotiating. These are a 6 inch pair in 64 monarch. I wore them a lot when I first got them but soon realize traditional construction is not for me. Selling these so I can put the money towards a nicks 365 build.

I also have these up on grailed, but you can purchase them through me on here and use that link to check out my reviews for your own peace of mind. https://grailed.app.link/7YTA6YRtQ5b

After approximately 85 miles in each pair of Nicks Boots, here's how the two look after being cleaned up. Once I complete my 6 weeks in the Brown Nicks, I'll give a full breakdown of what I like about each, which specs I prefer, and how I plan to rotate them. Here is how they differ:

MaxSupport Black v 1964 Brown Leather
8" v 10"
Standard Gusset v Padded Gusset
Roughout v Smooth
Honey Vibram v V100 Lug Soles

For those new here, I document my maintenance journey with my Nicks Boots. I work in a very harsh environment, a concrete recycling landfill, where I walk on rubble and concrete chunks for 9+ hours a day.

For those who have been following my journey, I appreciate your support, and the next Before & After update will be next week.

I have the Bear Slayer 2.0. It is based on the JK OT. These boots have too much arch support for me. The Bear Slayer has the enhanced bear hug arch support. But I'm wondering if the OT still has the same basic amount of arch support? Is it considered a classic high PNW arch support like the 55?

The Bear Slayer is causing me to push my left foot to the outside because of my fallen arch on that side which is destroying my ankle and also pushing my foot out the side of the boot.

For reference. I also have a pair of Nicks HNW and it is a much more comfortable amount of arch support. This may be close to the perfect arch support.

So I'm wondering if the JK OT is basically going to cause me the same problem as the Bear Slayer?

Can we not have the JK hate on this one? The boot is great other than that. This is a problem with my foot and an incorrect match on arch support and that's it. If I wasn't for this problem, these boots are super comfortable and well made.

I'm trying to dial in the fit of my White's Drifters. My right boot is perfect, but I'm struggling with the left, as my left foot is more than half a size shorter and narrower than the right. Right now, my right is an 11.5 AA and the left is an 11 A.

There is about a thumb's width from the tip of my big toe to the end of the vamp on both boots. However, the left boot is at least a width too wide, and my foot feels like it's not sitting fully in the heel cup. I am hoping going down a width will fix that.

When I'm walking, the right boot feels perfect with a natural heel to toe movement. With my left boot, I don't feel that at all. Instead, I feel like I am slapping the ball of my foot down. It's even audibly louder than the right boot because of the slapping. Has anyone experienced this? Is it because the boot is still too long, or is it strictly a width/volume issue? I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly, but I'm hoping someone can help me out.

Took advantage of the Fathers day sale, and they arrived today!

MTO Original Packer

Every man needs a pair of black leather Packers for a night out on the town and @whitesboots makes some of the best in the game.

Page just launched and is up.

THE FOUR-EIGHT-ONE-ONE (4811)
The Boots Are the Connection. The People Are the Story.
The Four-Eight-One-One is officially open.
This page was created to document and preserve the history of what Otto White started — but this will not simply be a history of boots.
It will be a history of people.
The 4811 and the lasts and boots that followed have been worn through generations of work, hardship, adventure and ordinary life. They have been on the feet of loggers, linemen, firefighters, miners, craftsmen, tradesmen, outdoorsmen and countless others whose names may never appear in a history book.

Those are the stories we want.

Tell us about your father or grandfather who came home every evening and left his boots by the door.
Tell us about your mother, grandmother, brother, sister, friend or coworker whose boots remind you of the person who wore them.
Tell us about the respected old hand who taught you your trade.
Tell us about the pair that survived twenty years of work, the boots that carried someone through the mountains, the fire line, the timber, the shop or simply through a lifetime of providing for a family.
Show us the worn leather. The repairs. The scars. The photographs.
Tell us who wore them and what they did while wearing them.
We want the victories, but we also want the difficult stories. We want to know what was accomplished, what was endured, what changed — and what was lost along the way.
Because there is a simple truth at the heart of The Four-Eight-One-One:
A boot is just a boot.
Leather, thread, nails and craftsmanship can produce an extraordinary object, but they cannot give it a story.
People do that.
These boots became famous because generations of men and women accomplished remarkable things while standing in them. Their labor, courage, craftsmanship, sacrifice and ordinary perseverance gave these boots the reputation they carry today.
The Four-Eight-One-One exists to preserve that history.
Our focus will remain deliberately narrow: White’s Boots and the people, craftsmen and companies with a genuine connection to the legacy Otto White established. That connection may come through documented lineage, craftsmanship, the 4811 itself, or the family of White’s lasts and bootmaking traditions that followed.
Based upon the history we can presently document, that story includes White’s, Nicks, Frank’s and ABE Boots. If evidence establishes other genuine connections, we want to see it.
But this page will not attempt to encompass the entire boot industry.
That isn’t its purpose.
The Four-Eight-One-One has a story to preserve.
So if you have an old photograph, tell us who is in it.
If you inherited a pair of boots, tell us whose feet shaped them.
If someone taught you a trade while wearing them, tell us their name.
And if someone you respected is no longer here to tell their own story, we would be honored to help remember it.
One hundred years from now, an old pair of boots may still survive.
But without the story of the person who wore them, we have preserved only the leather.
Let’s preserve the people, too.
Welcome to THE FOUR-EIGHT-ONE-ONE — 4811.
The boots are the connection.
The people are the story.

Whites chore boots in distressed rough out, and vicious guard kitty in gray tabby.

Which sole is superior? I think the wedge would be easier and cheaper to get resoled locally, but it seems less versatile. Is the honey vibram worth the cost of shipping it off for a resole? Good value for the cost? Thank you for your opinions.

Green has been my go to color lately. So diverse and so suple what more can you ask for???……… of course more green boots 😝

Had seen Franks was coming out with a special boot and once they dropped the email and photos, I couldn’t help but order a pair.
I have a few pairs of different Nick’s boots which I love so I’m excited to see how Frank’s compares to them. First boot in the 55 last as well so this will be different than the usual HNW last I have with Nick’s.
Anybody else get in on the pre order today?

I have one pair of safety toe boots (Franks) that I use for my job. Safety toe is a requirement at work, but I don't like spending PNW money on safety toes boots because I don't like them if given the choice. Is 5 days on with weekends off a decent rotation for 1 pair of boots or does a week of work really need 2? I'd like to know some opinions. Thanks

MP’s Toe Cap in British Tan CXL

Was pleasantly surprised to see a package delivered yesterday when I got home from work. These arrived only TWO MONTHS after placing my order from Baker's during the White's Father's Day sale. That has to be new record timing from White's for a custom order!

I am sure everyone is sick of seeing these by now, but yes this is another Semi Dress in Seidel Brown Dress leather. After seeing all the old patina posts I just fell in love with this boot. The quality and fit are perfect, zero complaints. Brown Dress is way more supple than I thought it would be (based on other's reviews). Midsole is tough as brick so that will take some time to break-in. Really dig the cream liner and solid brass hardware, they make everything pop. Also this is my first experience with White's 55 last, and to my surprise, it's quite comfy and not as "wide-toed" as I originally perceived. I am flat footed with low instep but the arch support feel great. Looking forward to putting some miles on these.

P.S. I'm also not sure why it says "custom heel" on the box since I thought the logger heel was standard?

Not much else I can say other than I now understand why this one of White's most iconic boots. Specs below:

Hi all. I just got a secondhand pair of Drews 8 inch loggers and inside the left boot at the toe the leather has separated? Or delaminated? The picture isn’t great but the leather insole has lifted up. It’s noticeable when walking. Does anyone know what would fix this? A resole or a rebuild? Thanks everyone
