Great stuff cuz!! I wound up changing my builder pro order up to an E width from a D thanks for the insight and happy birthday again!!
Well done video! The boots look great! I’ve got a pair of those coming in the natural double shot. I hope I get kilties with mine too. You can always modify those kilties, I like to round them off.
I agree, a jagged kiltie just looks weird in a plain toe boot,
You’re getting some nice boots. I order my kilties from Nicks, even for my Whites boots. The Nicks kilties fit and look 100% better, they can be ordered already rounded and you can usually match the leather. Nicks rawhide laces are also top notch. The only time I don’t wear kilties are when I’m wearing dressier boots……..1000 mile, Grant Stone, semi-dress Whites and so on.
Ya i ended up switching the cotton laces out for the raw hide, and put the kilties back in. Looks good.
Wow. My cutter in the same color is being shipped now
Do you like your cutter?
Please do an update video. Love to see how these are working out
Will do. They have broken in a bit. I’m starting to accept that 11D is a little too narrow for me, but I don’t really feel any fatigue until end of the day. The toe box is a little cramped though.
I ended up selling the soft toe Huckberry 350’s, as they were just too damn tight.
Waiting for my natural tan double shots to arrive
Man those look nice on feet
Thanks for the video!! Will the arch support on this one hard to get used to?
How has this leather been working for you? Curious if it has gotten some patina for you yet? I just ordered a pair of boots in this leather and was curious how you feel about it a few months later. Thanks!
They have some patina on the quarters (shaft area) from the flexing and rubbing on jeans/pants. There is a weird haze that is present on the toes if you look closely. Brushing with horsehair and/or using Venetian cream on it doesn’t seem to resolve. Almost like it’s something with the finish. It’s still a nice color.
Enjoy your videos a lot, please continue the good work. One question, do you know the difference between cruiser and MP Sherman?
Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad people enjoy them. I still need to do a video on these “Otto White Vintage” boots I found at a random western store in Ohio (on their website). The Cruiser is built on the 55 Last, with a much more noticeable arch and taller woodsman shaped heel. The MP Sherman is built on the MP Last, which is more flat, similar to a dress shoe/boot. It has a flat arch and shorter block shaped heel.
@@EDHBlvd thanks!!!
Any update on these boots and how they’ve broken in or how the leather has aged? I’ve got this exact pair on order right now and I’m anxiously awaiting their arrival. Hopefully I got the sizing nailed down!
Sold them. 11D was too small. I just bought a Cutter in 11.5D during Black Friday sales. It fits much better. I dropped a video the other week.
@@EDHBlvd That’s awesome! I’ve never owned a pair of Whites or any other PNW boot. I’ve only owned red wing’s and thorogood boots. I wear a 9EE in Iron Rangers and 9.5EE in Moc Toes, so I ordered a 9EE in the C350 Cruiser. I sure hope they’re the correct size 😂
@@ryanh477 I have Iron Ranger in 11D and bought the Cruiser in 11D. It was smaller than the Iron Ranger. Much tighter toe box.
@@EDHBlvd Oh boy, well I’ve got a 10-12 week wait for my order to be built. I sure hope it’s the correct sizing the first time around. I’d hate to end up waiting until July for boots that fit properly 😂
@@ryanh477 this is why I like buying what they have in stock. It’s always a gamble with a new Last.
the cruisers look incredible! i'd actually kill for them to make smaller/"women's" sizes of these :(
You should check out Nicks boots. They offer some crazy small sizes. Down to a Men’s size 3.5.
@@EDHBlvd yeah i've looked a lot into nicks and really appreciate the sheer flexibility in their size ranges. they'll definitely be my first pick for high end boots once i'm actually in a financial position to afford them!
Could be that I end up with a pair of Cruisers now
Ya I miss them. The whites Black Friday sales are coming up.
@@EDHBlvd Bakers have 20% off right now. That’s why I consider buying a pair
@@qltyboots 30% off on Whites site.
@@qltyboots oh it’s a hoax “up to 30% off”. All boots listed show 20% off. Lol
@@EDHBlvd lol. Probably 30 off laces 😂
Always wear the kilties.
Got a pair of these on the way. I will let you know what my welt stitching looks like on the boot. Also ditch the false tongue. Those boots aren't really tall enough to need em. As long as the tongue stays straight and you don't need to fold it? I'd just not put the false tongues in them. I think they look better without em.
and I don't think it was intentional as far as the welt stitching btw. I think they sanded the tip of the sole/welt too shallow and instead of redoing it, they just fit the stitching in. I'm sure it's fine and if you ever get them rebuilt I'm I'd mention it. But we'll see. If mine are like that I'm just going to roll with it until I get them rebuilt. But yeh, for a boot that's going for $575 now that they aren't on sale? I think they could've done a better job on that. I just got a pair of their Fulton Moc Toe work boots. They are only $340 but they had some quality control issues. The welt on the left side of the left boot wasn't glued down correctly so there is a bit of a gap. And the stitching on the welt (right boot outside welt) ran into the top of the welt a bit. Again, neither of these issues are gonna cause the boot to fail. These are work boots for me so I don't need them to be perfect and I can get those issues fixed when they need a re-sole. All that being said, I am a bit disappointed that White's seems to get sloppy like that. Luckily I've never had the issue you had with your Red Wing 875s. But I guess it happens sometimes with every company. I will say this, right out of the box these Fultons were very comfortable.
@@christopherdavisson617 yes I agree. I was sort of making a joke. Honesty I don’t see myself buying anymore White’s. I picked up a Semi Dress off eBay and it has many issues. Nicks makes a clearly superior boot.
@@EDHBlvd Lol on the joke. I was like that's NOT normal haha!. Yeh I'm going to get a pair of Falcons for my next boot most likely. Hopefully my 350 Cruisers are in proper shape when I get em. I want a Semi Dress too. But I've changed my mind. If the 350 Cruisers aren't right I'm sending em back till they rectify it. A work boot is one thing but a $600 boot needs to be tip top.
Ok, I got my 350 Cruisers today (British Tan Double Shot). The stitching wasn't as inconsistent as yours were. It's not perfect but it is completely acceptable. Idk if I got lucky or you got unlucky. I almost feel bad after seeing what you went through with both you pairs of White's lol. But they did have a few dings on em. Just put some Saphir neutral polish in those areas and it took it right out. Overall I am very happy with these. I got them on sale for $460.00 as well (they were running an end of the year sale so I cancelled my initial order and opted for the deal on the ready to ship boots). These are a very roomy boot as I do tend to need a 10 1/2 E in most of my boots. They are snug but not Uncomfortable and no hot spots so far. The arch support will take some getting used to but I can tell that these are very high quality boots for sure. They are a bit stiff but I don't think the break in is gonna be bad at all really. I've had them on for an hour and barely any difficulty so far. Probably be more like my Red Wing Blacksmiths than my Red Wing Moc Toes. The Blacksmiths were very easy to break in but the 1907s were a nightmare. In comparison with my Blacksmiths I do still love my Red Wings and will still wear them for a light duty work boot. That being said? These 350 Cruisers are a big step up for sure. They make my Blacksmiths feel like a very light duty boot. The leather is much thicker and the boot feels much more robust in general. I didn't use the false tongues and honestly I think that's the right call. These are six inch boots so the tongue fold that the kilties would hide is a non issue and I feel like the boots look better without them. Again thanks for the videos brotha and I will hit you up again when my Nick's get here in a few months.
@@christopherdavisson617 Get em' yet?
You would expect a little more QC for a $300+ boot yeah?
Seriously. I’ll be positing a video on the Vibergs I picked up. It’s even more painful as they are crazy expensive and have problems.
How's the breakin going? Is that really similar to Chrome Excel?
These are broken in already. It was mild compared to my Nicks. Yes Double Shot is basically Seidel’s version of Chromexcel.
Not a western look, it's a PNW look. I didn't think I would like the logger kilties either, but I do. I flipped mine rough side out. It's an interesting contrast and draws attention to your feet. Nice boots! 👍
Love it! Do these come standard with celastic toe?
They do. You 11D? I’m selling these. They were too tight. Finally accepted. I don’t recommend 1/2 down like Whites suggested.
@@EDHBlvd unfortunately I’m not otherwise I’d buy them! They told me 1/2 size down from brannock, which is what my mp’s are as well. Wanted to make sure these and cutters come with celastic, I thought I saw someone else say they come soft toe so I wanted to check
@@brandonrogers4415 I hope that works for you. It didn’t work for me. I owned 3 pairs of 55 Whites all in 11D. I accepted they were all too snug. Sold 2 of the 3. Need to sell this last pair.
@@EDHBlvd well now I don’t know ha… so your recommendation is go true to brannock?
@@brandonrogers4415 yes I’d either go brannock or if you go down 1/2, go up a width. But since Whites is lame and only offers D and EE, the latter isn’t possible. If I was going to order another Whites 55 in future, I would get my brannock size.
مرحبا كيف لنا التواصل!؟
Just got my cutters the stiching was even ..thats sad on whites part whi the hell inspected them
Agree. Poor QC for sure. Check out my recent video on another pair of Whites 350 Cruisers (handsewn) and you can see they do not have toe stitching overlap. The poor stitching and all the scuffs when I got them in mail us disappointing. I love these boots (wore them yesterday), but the QC is really poor. I would never pay MSRP for their boots. Too many issues for what they ask for. Sales only.
Are these celastic toe or soft toe?
They were celastic.
@@EDHBlvd are you still selling these?
@@richardodouglin3855 sold months ago.
@@EDHBlvd ruclips.net/video/DLb2dg0Jdng/видео.htmlsi=wOEyPNs4zuUq77cG are you interested in these boots I posted in the link? They’re size 11 average in jk’s 55 last 10 inches. If you’re interested lmk and we could work out a sale price?
They run too big?
Not to big. They run as expected. Go down 1/2 size from your brannock measurements.
I prefer with the false tongue , it looks more PNW.
Ya I reinstalled them with the “lashes” cut off.
I would hate to spend all that money on a pair of boots and after wearing them start to notice some lose grain or big grain beak in the the leather. I did notice that on the side of one of your boots which btw I don’t think it’s a big deal as long as it’s not on the vamp or toe box area. I think big grain break is ugly and looks even uglier when it’s on the vamp of one boot only. I think most people don’t like big grain break in spite of what they say
You probably shouldn’t be buying leather boots. The grain break is not predictable as it’s a natural product. You’ll end up being disappointed.
RUclips doesn’t allow links to websites so I can’t show the big grain break on an Iron Ranger boot. It’s on one boots vamp and it’s really severe meanwhile the other boot hardly has a crease on the vamp. I believe that boot in particular should at least be sold at a reduced price .
They look so clean. I was thinking 3-400$ boots. They’re 700$ I can’t do that 😟
If you wear boots for 5 plus years buying $200 boots, eventually you pay the same for more boots to break in vs taking care of one pair and resoling…. Simple math can justify this purchase
No these are $500. I have the stitch down version. The $700 version is hand stitched. These are $575 but I got them 10% off during sale.

How long did it take to receive them?
@@sv17fd Seven years
@@sv17fd a week after I ordered. Since they had them in stock.
I suggest you wear it without the kiltie, because you already wearing flat laces that wont hurt the top of your foot.
Good vid but bro take a drink of water
you seem really negative about these boots
This coming from a slimydick.
