The Official New Boots Thread

[Tucker943]

I don't know the answer to that. I would bet a couple bucks they will build a boot any way you like. They are a custom bootmaker. I will be buried in mine. Quality.

Hmmm

Our local guy is a Whites dealer. He will take leather heel spacers out of the heel if you want a lower heel. Whites are still gonna have a helluva arch though. Not sure how that would feel with a flat bottom.

 

[Tucker943]

The arch support is to die for.

 

[Tucker943]

Talk to whites directly.

 

[cory]

Some peeps say heavy duty arch support weakens your foot arches, you know, the way to defeat an arch is to push it up from the bottom, in the middle. Just sayin.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I guess that is not debated out here, you know in Man's country!

I have a set of Red Dawg's that provide good ankle support, but also pinch my ankle where it bends on the frontside. My father was a lineman for 23 years and keep steeling me to go with Whites. I feel the traditional climbing boots are unnecessary in today's rope climbing environment. I've though of going to the new arb pro clip in boots and replace my panting with a HAAS ascender. Any suggestions? Thanks

Here ya go!

Theres a new boot coming in to the mix very shortly. I've been wearing these for the past 2 years now and thoroughly recommend them

" but at the same time enhances the aggressive appearance making this boot a contender for urban fashion as a casual everyday boot."

That statement alone would be enough to make me choose another boot.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I'm the opposite. I like my boots to look good. Chicks dig good looking boots.

 

[stig]

I got all the chick I need.
I'm all about function, not about being urban chic (as anyone who has seen my motorcycle will testify)

The boots are all about function...they just happen to look good aswell.

 

[stig]

I don't doubt it, Steve.
That phrasing was just a bit too metrosexual for an old woodsman.

 

[squisher]

Ha I agree with Stig on this one.

 

[stig]

Shit, I think the sun just went dark

 

[MasterBlaster]

A bit of a heel would be nice.

 

[squisher]

Shit, I think the sun just went dark

Heh I don't think it's the first time, it's just not all that frequent.

 

[stig]

And we tend to disagree LOUDLY,when we disagree

 

[squisher]

I chalk it up to the logger in both of us, and I don't sweat it none because I know you don't either.

 

[stig]

Nope.
Actually I think if we ever got a chance to meet and work together, we'd have a fine time.

 

[Peter]

?????

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Beat me to it.

I have that pic saved to my ipad, great time saver.

 

[squisher]

I'm sure we would. I'm a lot more open-minded in person. Lol.
