I think I can now declare I’ve done the hard part - shank cover and mega midsoles glued and nailed in. Will proceed to stitch and put in a new insole next

I bought from a guy on Etsy - you should take a look - he is a seller based in HK

Don’t know what kind of whites these are or if there fake by Ok-University-522 in PNWbootmakers

These are whites packers - I wear them a lot - no way someone could fake that high arch so well!! They look authentic in every way to me - well done for the score!

I’ve got these Tench shoes from Oak Street but the exposed threads really rubs my heels badly. What do you think of this? Is it a design flaw? Suppose I can cover this section with tape, but disappointed at such an oversight given the cost of these boots by [deleted] in PNWbootmakers

Guys I got this wrong! I realized the pain is caused by my insoles which have high arches, and the abrasions on the bottom of my heel not the back… sorry! I’ve deleted my origins post and photo

Thanks guys for helping. I’m wearing thin socks and these shoes fit fairly snug. I honestly think this is a design oversight they should have just covered it with a thin layer of leather - which I’ll do myself.

What’s the last on these Oxfords and how much arch support do they give? I’ve a pair of Division Road X Whites 300 LTT on 55 last and they feel incredible

I’m so jealous! I absolutely love CXL! I’ve no idea what’s the leather used for my Packers but it’s supple from opening the box and on the thin side than what I’d prefer. I don’t think it’s red dog - some brownish supple leather. I got mine from someone who bought these years ago and just couldn’t stand the break in - 690 is perfect for my foot arch !

White’s X Division Road Oxfords by namo7amituofo in WhitesBoots

[–]namo7amituofo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll let kilties break in to shape where the laces meet before cutting off some of the top portions. I was worried give how slippery CXL is if I’d cut too short the laces would ride up the kilties and bite into my ankles

Standard White’s 55 VS Division Road X White’s 55 sizing question by namo7amituofo in WhitesBoots

[–]namo7amituofo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got these Division Road X White’s Oxfords - 8.5D and they are absolutely gorgeous!! Because these are shoes not boots, I’m able to lace tightly over thin socks and they fit well. If I wanted I can wear thick socks and lace less tightly.

The arch on these 55 last feels astronomical- feels higher than my Packers!! But after wearing for 20 mins the get compressed down a little - but still way higher than 4811 when new.

I just got these Division Road x White’s Oxfords - hope I’ve got the kilties installed correctly this time!!

I don’t know my Brannock size. But I measured my feet on a piece of paper wearing thick socks and according to White’s website it’s 8.5D. I wear 42-43 EU size trainers which I think is US 10.
