Socks: Midweight merino wool Misc. Notes: Higher volume right foot Broken in as of late 8/22 --- Update 11/16/22: I couldn't make it work. They were too narrow to be comfortable. Hopefully they're perfect for their next owner. --- These are smaller than my MP-Shermans in almost every way. The ball is in the same spot -- my foot ends up aligned properly in the boot -- but it's not as long, the heel and neck are smaller, the instep is lower, the waist is tighter, and it's less heavy overall. (Those aren't complaints, I don't mind it being smaller.) The only thing that concerns me is how much more snug it is. It's not uncomfortable, it has loosened up a little after a couple weeks in shoe trees, and my toes still have plenty of room to spread (all-in-all, it's a very similar story to my MP-Shermans) but these might just be tight enough to cause circulation problems. The adage with White's is "go down half in length, go up a width" and the fit of this boot has really convinced me that that's true. Even so, though I would never recommend this to anyone else because it's very ill-advised, I'm going to attempt to break them in anyway as I really like this makeup and it doesn't come in different widths. Hope springs eternal. Or maybe it's hubris... Speaking of the makeup, this boot is a Brooklyn Clothing Co. exclusive. It caught my attention because nubuck is super cool and I didn't have any in my collection, I wanted another pair of White's, and based on the pictures on the site it was a really nice color that I didn't have anything close to. When I got them I very much wasn't disappointed, though I would like to point out that these boots are a lot ruddier than the site indicates. In fact, the color is very close to my Iron Rangers in Amber Harness, or my Brass Boots in Snuff Reverse Kudu. My pictures show that a little better, though of course lighting changes a lot. For all my qualms about sizing, I'm not experiencing "White's bite", which (as I understand it) is tightness on the instep where the tongue is sewn to the vamp. In fact, I've experienced that with Solovair, Thursday, Grant Stone, and Unmarked, but not White's for some reason. The construction is still very tough, the leather is quite thick, and the stitching is even throughout. It does have the rolled welt that seems to turn some people off but it doesn't bother me at all. Despite the fit I'm still pretty excited about this pair. Even if they doesn't work out, I'll be coming back to White's.
