I think your liking the White’s 4811 last. I love Nicks boots but the White’s 4811 is the most comfortable last I have ever worn.

Great review. I too am a fan of heritage wear. Have a pair of White's Bounty Hunter/Rancher on the 55 last and the uppers look very similar to your smokejumpers. Sole is less lugged with a square heal. Much easier to wear daily than the Wesco Jobmasters that I have (similar to the smokejumper). Regards

They look really good

They still use the RapidE machine to stitch these. The only part that is hand sewn is the thin welt strip piece to the vamp. After that, they stitch the two lines via a machine. You can even see this done on White’s build videos. People have a misconception that the sole is stitched on by hand, when they buy the “hand sewn welt” models.

@@collectedovertime3291 I wonder if these are the 4811 Last like you were wondering. It’s a Last I have never tried and feel like I need to scratch that itch. I’m not a big fan of the 55 Last (only have 1 pair after selling all my others) and while I love the 11067 Last, from pictures, it would appear the 4811 Last has an even wider toe box. I enjoy the comfort of Nick’s ThurmanNW and Thurman55 Lasts, but they are kinda ugly looking from the top. The 4811 has a nice balance of wider toe box, without looking clownish. White’s QC frustrates me, but their boots have a special charm. I keep saying I am done with Whites, but then I look at buying them again. HAHA. BTW, I looked at your channel and remember watching your videos on Nicks boots. Cheers!

@@EDHBlvd it’s like you read my mind re the last dialogue I too have in my brain haha. I’d say they definitely are the 4811 as the fit is noticeably different (slight), they are half a size down and 1 increment up in width to my usual. Love the nicks but these are amazing and not cumbersome to wear. The distressed Roughout is a really nice soft and durable leather. Prior to getting these I was considering the Thurman and saw yours.. almost pulled the trigger but the boot beast in me is sleeping (for now) haha. Cheers mate
