[[White's boots]] SmokeJumpers one year update PNW Boots

[@joshuaricks7882]

Am a fan of Nick’s boots I haven’t tried White’s yet but as a PNW boot they can be difficult to break in, but after the break in their extremely comfortable

[@feastingonmetal8503]

Nicks are in my wish list too. They all are really good, Take care. Thank you for checking out the video.

love the Smokejumper last.. oddly enough, I actually want the v100 lug lol i have the White's Rancher which is basically the same thing but with a mini lug sole and hand sewn welt.. the White's Smokerjumper is the OG and my most respected boot.. the 4811 last is a treasure.. love high arch..

[@EDHBlvd]

@@toneohm yet you don’t own an 11067 Classic High Arch boot from Nicks…

[@toneohm]

@EDHBlvd lol say what? The only real difference in that last is supposed to be the toe spring.. I actually have a Nicks Packer from 2008 in the 5332 last which is basically the tallest arch compared to all the aforementioned lasts we just mentioned

[@EDHBlvd]

@@toneohm I don’t think the arches are actually any different between the 55/67/5332/5812. It’s more about the heel height. The Packers are built with a 6 layer heel stack instead of a 5 layer like the Classic. This is regardless of Last. So a 55 Last Packer will feel like it has more arch than a 55 Last logger boot. However nicks calls the 11067 the “classic high arch”.

[@toneohm]

@EDHBlvd yeah Mike Smith told me the actual arch support piece is the same across the board,, but idk, from my own perspective.., i really feel like they hit differently.. i feel it more in my 4811 than my 55.. both from White's too so it's not like it's a brand thing.. n right, more heel height can yield more arch,, Packers i would say are the most high arch type boots out there.. and i don't mind the heel height so much as i do the toe shape.. not into the cowboy toe point or exaggerated Packer cuban heel.. but i dig the arch support they provide.. Frank's just announced a new Packer option the other day.. And just wanted to say, im not trying to knock the 67,, id still really like to try the 11067,, Ubran Logger with W&C Double Stuff.. honey lug sole.. that would be a nice combo to me

[@EDHBlvd]

@@toneohm my point is the 67 is closer to the 4811 than the 55 is. If you like the 4811 you should try the 67. It’s Nicks OG firefighting Last, just like the 4811 is Whites firefighting Last.

Hey Ben! Good to see you again!

You can get a diagram of the design of the boot the reason why the heel is made like that it takes a lot of your arches and unto the heel of your foot when you walk in the forest you can tear the land up with these they are very very good boots and actually the lights are the probably the last pair of all leather boots I will ever buy living in Colorado you have some rough Terrain

[@gohome678]

The original bootmaker his name is Otto White this boot has been a style has been around since the late 1800s or so if I'm correct

[@feastingonmetal8503]

Thanks for stopping by. I been following your uploads.

[@feastingonmetal8503]

That make sense, thank you for your words.

[@10thAveFreezeOut]

That's what happens eventually with those rubber soles. They harden up and get slippery/ pieces break off.

[@feastingonmetal8503]

I am enjoying the new soles. Thank you for your comment.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Roughout is for making them even more durable and abrasion resistant for when you're doing heavy outdoor work and such, so not a look or a feature I really need most of the time, but I got similar boots with honey outsoles instead of the ice black [white x] like those. I just don't want to take a pair of Fire rated boots from somebody who might need them, but I still want snake protection and such for the leg that 6" hiking boots won't give.

[@Highland_Paddy]

I don't know if the White's run MORE narrow than everybody else, but the Rose Anvil collab pair I got sure do.

[@Highland_Paddy]

I don't think you should need a rebuild for more than a year with those if you're not doing anything too rugged in them.

[@feastingonmetal8503]

Thank you for your words. I will keep different soles styles in mind for the future.

[@gohome678]

The best pair of boots I have bought are whites I've also owned Wesco boots another good brand

[@feastingonmetal8503]

They are all in my list for boot brands to try in the future. Take care.

[@gohome678]

Right on start with the west coast to be your next pair you won't be let down ​@@feastingonmetal8503
