White's Boots Review - White's are among the best boots in the world, they are handmade in Spokane Washington by a team of skilled craftsmen. Whites boots super expensive and usually cost $500-$600 like their famous Smokejumper boots. So when they were released with a moc toe boot that was cheaper that Red Wing's Classic Moc, and half the price of their other boots a lot of people were excited and a lot of people were suspicious. So I got a pair to cut in half to see what’s inside and if they live up to the White’s name.

I really appreciate the company sending you a boot with a small flaw to cut in half rather than waste a whole good pair by cutting in half, It would be nice to see this from more companies you work with in the future

[@frankrizzo7185]

Could not agree more. Wasting good points is hard to take.

[@Tabooza]

Thats the first thing I thought. Now thats something that deserves recognition for, I'm in the market for work boots right now and they just sold me on that. Great job

[@RoseAnvil]

Quick Clarification - Whites doesn’t use the cardboard counter in the majority of their boots but they have the cardboard counter in the past in some of their more affordable boots with great success. As far as I know their regular $500+ boots use solid leather counters.

[@chrishelm4371]

Got my Whites yesterday. I had ordered my normal size and they fit and feel fine. I'll see how my extended wear goes on them but so far standing in line to vote outside and then walking around on dirt, grass and concrete they are meeting all my expectations.

[@Evergreen4477_Typology]

I got a pair of Whites Perry boots, during the Black Friday sale, for my first boots and I really like them. Thank you so much for the informative review.

[@4GSR]

A year and a half later, my Whites Perry boots are still holding up great! Strictly for casual wear. The carboard heel thingy's still holding their shape. I like the boots, nice and roomy! Went down a half size and wider width from my normal size 10-1/2. If I buy again, may go down a full size and stay with the wide width. Entering my senior years and need wider shoes for my big feet!! As always, thanks for sharing! Ken

You can't hold your smile when your talking about being the first to cut this boot! 🤣

[@oneof13forestpeople97]

I really like the look and shape of these more than the others, personally.

[@jeffloucks2120]

Their construction visually looks more work boot while still being attractive.

[@gwsmith4872]

They are sexy, don't much like the looks of the price tag compared to everyone else but Redwings.

[@marzcapone9939]

@@gwsmith4872 I like the fit and comfort of the Perry way more than my Redwing 1907 Copper. Both are a size 9D, the Perry has a wider, and looser feel. My Red Wings are hard in the sole and more narrow in the toe. I like the look of both, but I can wear the Perry all day, not a work boot for me though. If it had a steel toe, I would love to get a pair for work.

[@firstnamelastname4179]

The toe isn't annoying like the Redwing. And they still have the casual rugged look. But they're also tough as hell if they live up to whites name. I might pick up a pair for work myself

[@BOOGiNS]

It looks roomy. Too roomy. Like it will have a lot of sag points once it gets worn in

[@PeteSwitch]

If these came in a safety toe, I'd be all over them for work. These would pair nicely in my workboot rotation alongside my Thorogood Moc Toes but according to White's Customer Service, this boot is too new and they haven't had time to test a safety toe on it yet. Hopefully in the future.

I am having my 35 year old White's PACKERS rebuilt now. Same price as these new boots ! Years ago I used to wear Moc Toe Red Wings until I decided they were more money than warranted given their previous quality. I am considering a pair of these Perry boots as result of your usual excellent review. Thanks.

I really like the kook of these other than all the contrasting stitching. Really looking forward to more colors though! Thanks for doing the whole Moctober series!

[@jondurrett9277]

After watching your review of the Lems boots I ordered a pair. Just got them today and the difference is amazing. My toes feel better already and I've only been wearing them for about an hour. I've been looking for a pair of work boots or shoes with a wide toe box forever. Im glad I saw that video. I thank you and my feet thank you

These we're the first moc toes that I think look nice, and the quality looks real good too! Also *squee* Toaster! I miss my kitties, they couldn't come to university with me.

[@MildlyRabid]

How awesome of White‘s to send a boot with a cosmetic defect for cutting! Thoughtful, kind and sustainable. Warms my heart, makes me think they’re good people and I’m honestly going to look into them first now when my current boots bite the dust (I’m on my last resole)

I live in Spokane, and Whites has been a legendary main stay in the work and stylish casual footwear for ever it seams. At 66, i worked construction and building powerlines alongside side coworkers wearing Whites daily. Such high quality and craftsmanship goes into to each boot. Biggest issue is always wet conditions. Galoshes took care of that problem. I also have a pair of the Perry mock toes and really like them. Such a qualit product.

[@jdubbyawilliams6896]

Just ordered a pair of 8” Perry’s in brown. I have had their Smokejumpers for years and have switched careers. I love their products, will keep you posted on how they do out in the work force of Construction Inspection.

A White’s boot under $300 is very exciting. Great video, thanks!

[@chiros13]

I've watched almost all of these RoseAnvil videos. I never cease to be amazed at how sharp that cutting tool, whatever its called, must be. Hopefully Weston never slips and loses a fingertip. And this is the closest that a video has gotten me to immediately run out and buy.

[@thewizardsofthezoo5376]

Quite frankly, I have the nicks travellers with wedge sole and I don't like it as it's slippery on slopes and mud. Not a fan of the thin sole neither. The top is nice. I would prefer different soles, all of them.

[@krazmokramer]

I want to order these but the White's site has me confused on sizing. How did you select the right size? I wear an 8D in Red Wings. White's is suggesting a 7.5D and I am hesitant. Did you drop a full size from your normal shoe size (1/2 size smaller than your RW size). Thanks for any help!

[@steveeab2364]

I went half size down and should have gone a full size. I just have to make sure I either wear thick socks or double up.

[@michaelgilbert8794]

Watched video. Because of video I bought the White's Perry boot for work in a facility with a mix of short carpet and concrete floor. After a week in these boots it seems I have made a good decision. No regrets so far. This is my first pair of higher end quality boots. Thank you for your video. Update: Its now Nov 2021...9 months since my purchase. Still love my Whites Perry mocs. Plan to send them back to White's for a resole in February. Have used Saphir Renovatuer exclusively and the leather has become a deep dark brown which I love.)

I have had a pair of these for about 2 months and they a friggin awesome. HVAC/R tech and walking on concrete floors.

Enjoyed this series, I have the Redwing 1907 copper rough and tough for about 3 years now and they were a bear to get broken in but they are my favorite boot, I also have the Danner Bull Run Moc Toe and they are ok and I do wear them occasionally but the fabric in the toe where they sewn the fabric to the tongue together would always fold up when I put the boots on and I had to trim that down. I am really thinking about purchasing a pair of the Whites I like the look a lot. I really enjoy these videos keep them coming.

[@marzcapone9939]

I own all three, the Whites Perry are my favorite, of all time. I got a 9D in the Perry and 1907, a 9.5D in the Bull Run. To me, the Perry fits right, the others are more narrow.

Been waiting for this all month!!! I see it's hard for you not to have an ear-to-ear grin.

[@pvalentinep12]

Grabbed two pair after this vid thanks for the review

[@brianyentes6690]

I own a size 10D Perry in the distressed brown. I chose the Perry over all other Mac Toe boots because I like the look of the Perry. I wear my boots casually and at work in the office but not in the field. The leather is thick and the break-in has been difficult. I don't wear them daily which is why they are close to comfortable after about about 40-50 wears. The boot is quality through and through. Get yourself a pair when the are on sale in June and Black Friday.

[@Acemans]

so these went on sale on Black Friday for like 220 and got some. Theyre great, break in was almost non-existent and the half size down is pretty spot on.

[@Dogzbone]

Got a pair of these a few months ago. They feel amazing but I had an issue with "clicking" coming from the shank. Exchanged for another pair...more clicking from the shank. Was going to return them but customer service, very friendly and awesome, talked me into another exchange. Third pair was fine for a couple weeks and then the clicking returned. Too late to return them now, even with minor cosmetic quality issues, so I will wear them and deal with the annoyingly noisy clicks until they need a resole. Other than that these are great boots. Very comfortable and need very little break in.

[@briansloanhakes1144]

these are awesome, thanks for the great review! I hope they introduce a couple other colors, this one is kinda boring for me but I'm still really interested in getting a pair in the future

[@bye92]

These look the best!!

[@DesertRox]

I just purchased these as a work boot based on this video. Break in was a little tough with the biggest pressure point being the top of my feet but are starting to get really comfortable. I conditioned these boots immediately upon getting them and they definitely drank in the conditioner which I think helped with break in. Thanks for the great review and looking forward to getting them resoled with a leather mid sole.

[@robvega533]

Hey there, Mine just arrived today. So the vamp and instep were the tightest parts for you? Is that right? Those seem like the areas of concern for my pair, too. Cheers, Rob

[@DesertRox]

@@robvega533 yes they were. Took about a week to 10 days and they started to wear in. They are really comfortable now better than expected for sure. I wear them usually 5 to 6 days a week depending on my work. I was putting shoe trees in them after wearing them during the break in process also.

I wear a thicker sock, and use a Spenco arch support in all three of these boots.

[@jvogler_art4708]

This is close to what im looking for. A budget boot with cork in it to shape to my foot. I think the toe box is a lot more attractive on both this one and the round toe they also sell over the redwings. but idk how i feel about the external counter with the cardboard support. It makes it look a little big in the back too. I might like that though because i have really large ankles and any room i can get in that area is important. Lots of good info in this video
