I brought my semi-dress from Bakers over three years ago in light brown bull hide. I re-died the boots dark brown and recently after a hard1-1/2 use as construction, yard and hiking boots had the composite soles replace by a local cobble with a thick leather sole. Two foot surgeries latter and wanting to use orthopedic inserts, I am looking to buying the bounty hunter from Baker. I know the sale guy there does not recommend leather soles. The bounty hunter is made on a semi last with a smoke jumper top. I am going for the lace to toe option for the flexibility in fit at the ball in dress black leather with double leather soles and single insoles. The double leather sole is not a cost upgrade. Double or tipple insole is $40 or $50 upgrade and will add stiffness and weight to the boot for appearance sake. Wanting to use the boots with orthopedic inserts, I don’t think multiple insoles is a good choice for myself. I not working in construction presently and have three pair of white construction boots so these babies will be walking and kick around use. I would appreciate if anyone had experience or advise other wise.
I just got another pair of White's, this time Semi-Dress with a twist.
These are my first semi-dress and I was surprised just how much lighter they are than my packers, Farmer-Rancher or Smoke Jumper's.
Anyway, here they are: all brown bull hide, toe cap, double leather sole, brown lining, brass eyelets and a 90 degree heel (traveller), which is also lowered by 1/4" and a closer trim.
I ordered my semi-dress bounty hunters through bakers over the phone..
Where di you make your purchase? I have seen the option to get the heel lowered and a close trim. I remember Bakers offered the close trim but it seems to no longer be an option
