White's Boots Custom Options

[eClairvaux]

I have been searching for a complete list of options for customizing White's Boots and finally came accross this website:
http://www.vintageblue.co.jp/list.php?br=wb&ct=smokejumper

They have two lists of options hidden in there:

Smoke Jumpers leathers, soles, heels, hardware, lining and tops:

Semi Dress options:

The colours come very close to (my) originals.

I thought this might be of use for some of you interested in buying White's boots.

Thanks for posting this. I just bought a pair of Semi Dress from a White dealer's clearance sale. Someone had ordered them and then didn't take them. They came with no box. The site you posted has helped me identify the options. Mine are pretty standard, but I really like them. Very nice boots indeed.

The Japanese are amazing with their love of US cultural icons and how they give them a twist.:eusa_clap

From about US$850 to over $1,000 a pair. I'll take two [ahem].

I own several pair of White's and based on conversations with them, not all of those options on the Japanese site are available through White's. The Japanese will order a particular boot and then do more work to them once it is received. As an example, some of the soles that are offered by the Japanese are not available through White's. This certainly helps to make an otherwise affordable boot into something rather expensive. I can tell you that the toe cap option was $20 or so but that site is charging over $100 for the same.

Give White's a call directly and ask what they can do. They are easy to deal with and very accommodating.

forget about the japanese pricing. Prices in the US are not what this importer asks. I was just linking to this site because they have pictures galore, not to encourage ordering through them.
