Great review, I have the same issue with leather laces. One thing worth mentioning, even thought their ultimate ownership may be Japanese, Whites still employs a ton of people in their home state, each one of whom supports the local economy. So ownership doesn’t really matter unless you’re a shareholder 😂

Very happy to have found you guys from watching this review. I was trying to buy White's on their store but when I put in my FPO AE address it would tell me the address couldn't be found. I submitted a query but haven't got anything back. Either way, through ya'll, I've been able to use my AE address and pay a lot less than having to ship all the way to Italy! I got the 350 cutters and some lexol cleaner and conditioner. Thank you guys and thank Carl!

I own three pairs of White's - Bounty Hunters, MPs in dark brown waxed flesh, and the Cykel engineer boot. The Bounty Hunters are definitely my favorite boots to wear. Love the arch support, fits my foot absolutely perfectly, and I feel like I could kick doors in all day wearing those things. The MPs are also nice but that last just doesn't fit my foot as well as the 55 last. The engineers are solid, too, but just not something I'd wear on a daily basis. They're a workboot company slowly transitioning into the heritage workwear aesthetic environment, and so little issues like yours and the pretty common sloppy welt stitching seem to pop up pretty commonly compared to fashion-oriented brands like Viberg (or, certainly, any of the Japanese bootmakers). I think all the whining about the quality going down since the buyout is mostly xenophobia and hearsay. The Japanese really love stuff like this, as you're well aware, so I'd honestly rather have the company in Japanese hands that will leave the build techniques in exactly the right place but will care for the brand better than some old American family that doesn't know how to keep the brand alive in an increasingly crowded market (not saying the White's family was like that before the buyout, but just comparing to other great American companies that have gone the way of the dinosaurs in recent times.)

The MPs are now available in a 5050 last. I think its called the CMP Sherman. The 5050 last is the 55 from the heal through the arch, and the MP from the front of the arch through the toe. The quality control on my boots is perfect. I love these boots. Beautiful boots that I expect will last my lifetime and more.

Sadly these small family companies are slowly disappearing from the manufacturing/retail scene. Whether it is Filson or White or even Cabela's - once the corporate leadership and mind think takes over, quality and identity falter. Keep up the good work, Carl - all the best.

I bought my first pair of whites when I was 18 years old. I have had there smoke jumper boots and the packers loved them they were good quality boots at that time. Fast forward a few years at 48 years old I bought my last pair of whites I'll ever buy. Seems like they have moved to cheaper leather it's not the same as it was before they sold to Danner. So I went and bought another pair of Nick's. I also bought a pair of jk super duty boots to see if l like them. Breaks my heart that after 30 years I had to say good by to whites.

Big fan of White’s. Wearing Work Packers right now, with Dress Packers in the closet for weddings and funerals. I do dye the raw heel and sole edges dark brown to match the bodies, but otherwise have found them second only to Viberg in build quality. P.S. My three pairs were all purchased before the 2014 Lacrosse buyout. The packers were custom made and took several months to make and deliver, but standing for 16 hours straight in either pair is easy!

Baker's offers a White's Cougar, like your "smoke jumper", but a work boot. I work in a factory, with concrete floors. My feet need support, but my boots get scratched up. Thinking about the Cougars with a rough out, and a steel toe.

I’ve owned 4 pair of whites in my life. My first pair I got back in 88, they were custom cowboy packers with 17” tall uppers. I outgrew those. Then in the 90’s I got a pair of smoke jumpers, a pair of 8” cowboy packers and a pair of rough out smoke jumpers. I let a friend have the rough out ones, but I still have the smooth smoke jumpers and 8” packers. I want to send them in to get re built but Ive been leery of it since lacrosse bought them. They are still useable so it’s not a huge priority.

I’ve worked as a mechanic for many years. 12 hour days standing on concrete doing all kinds of major repair tasks on heavy equipment. The wolverines real K for about three months. Finally I decided to take the plunge on a pair of whites back then they were 510 bucks for the smoke jumpers with a steel tail. Lots of seasoned technicians around me swore by whites especially with long hours on concrete. Needless to say they are one of the best boots I have ever wore as far as comfort longevity. I know they’re spending but there’s not much that compares to a custom boot when you’re standing on that hard surface. Just my two cents

Wanted to let you know some boot makers cut the corners on the heel on purpose so when you move lateral it doesn't catch. I wear cowboy boots and can't stand a high square heel for this exact reason. I stick with the traditional heel. Which goes along with your thinking about ease of walking. A large heal can add extra weight and cause the heel to ride up and down and give you a blister.

Just sent my order forum and measurements into whites. Was going to go with a MP boot, but after talking with them they recommended the 350 cruiser. Similar style, a little wider toebox and the 55 last would provide great arch comfort. Did eye Nick's, wescos, and Truman's but after calling and finding out I could get the vibram lug vs V bar and mini lug (wanted a commandoesque look and great traction for outdoors) I decided to lock my order in. Debating on if they can do a 8 inch for me, but have decided on going nickel hardware as I think it'd go great with the dark brown waxed flesh leather. I'll have to do my own review on them when I finally get them but so far I am excited. P.s I have a set of red wing 2231s that have the date 12/14 on them that I've worn almost daily since I got them in 2015 until now. Leather still looks pretty good, but the poron insole that's glued to the boot has finally given up any form of heel and toe cushioning. Great boots, and definitely say red wing makes a good boot, I just desired something different and a bit better without compromising too much on diminishing returns.

If you order a pair of Whites boots from a authorized dealer make sure the person measuring your foot knows what they are doing. I had a custom set of smoke jumpers made for me. The person measuring my foot messed up on the measurements of the upper. Whites charged me extra because the uppers were larger than normal. When I received the boots the uppers would barely tighten because the eyelets were touching. I was not happy. This became a finger pointing match between the dealer and Whites. Whites insisted the uppers could not be adjusted. My new, unused boots sat at the shop for 3 months before I said F it. I needed the boots because my boots could not handle another day. It took about 6 months to fully break them in. They felt like a glove conforming to my feet. Unfortunately the uppers were junk. I’m still upset at the dealer and Whites. $550 not well spent. This was 7 years ago.

Bought my Whites boots in 1983 for $200.00 when I worked in the saw mills in Coeur D" Alene Idaho. I was a Jack ladder Operator , In those days everybody owned them, and we practically lived in them. I resoled them about a dozen or more times. The uppers in the toe area started to develop holes back around 2000. I switched to Redwing Iron Rangers because as I got older the elevated heel was beginning to bother my back.

Don Nelson Whites recently changed their policy away from custom fitting to pretty much off the shelf. They are selling with more retailers and you can only get the multicolor leather through Bakers.

The double thickness of the sole and metal shank means they don’t bend as you walk. The height of the back is higher than any shoe I have and cuts into my ankle. The hand stitched welt was so crooked I was in shock. Lastly I had to bring the shoes to the cobbler because there was 6 loose nails. Three in the lining and three under the inner sole.

The worst part was the overall experience, which was pretty awful. I ordered (and paid) in June, boots arrived in September, were incorrect so had to send them back, got them back 4 weeks later, again incorrect. I didn’t want to wait another 4 weeks so I am just going to deal with it. I heard so many good things so i’m sure i’m the exception but for sure would not recommend.

I'm waiting for my third pair of White's due to QC issues at present. Sadly, it seems to be more of a problem than it should be at this price.

I have Nick's and White's and probably because the leather is a tad less ticker, my whites are more comfortable, the Nicks natural flesh are hard, so so hard! I have 3 whites with the 55 last dri foort 360, semi dress and bounty hunters, I love the 55 last, holds you heel like nothing else.

Hey man great videos thanks for the good work. I looked through your videos and couldn't find reviews for any of the Role Club models. Do you have a link I missed? Thanks

Woooooow i didnt knew about Whites is not family business anymore.my brannock sizing is 11.5D. I own both Roberts by Nicks and Whites but i choose 10.5D for Nicks, due my living place (Monterrey NL México) it was imposible to go for measurement process with try on boots pair by mail with Nicks so 10.5D was not enough for my feet around instep, other way with Whites i went with 11D and is better

Cool new logo, but I'm not sure it represents your channel accurately (too cartoon-ey). The title photo at carlmurawski.com is a better fit in my opinion. Yeah, I know I need to work on my avatar too....

For that money, they better have ZERO issues AND come with 6 months of free weekly foot rubs...

Nice looking boots, but too rich for my wallet... for that much money, they'd better be rubbing more than my feet

Carl, what's your take on the White's Main Street boots? Thinking about picking up a pair for my birthday.

There JK boots franks boots DREWS boots nicks all those are American owned. Whites was bought by a Chinese or Japanese some kind of bug eater nation and it’s not the same from what I’ve read on forums.

Off topic question here, just got myself a nice pair of legit boots but I noticed that the leather is cracking in quite a few areas in quite a few different patterns. Is that normal to see such differences in pattern, and should I condition and clean it to help get rid of those cracks?
