White's Boots
-
Just wanted to chime in that im currently waiting on a pair of nomads through bakers that i ordered in early november. I know alot of people have been asking about differences in ordering since the company changed hands and thought id share my experiences:
Biggest thing i noticed is that they will not use the white/sand 2021 sole on as many things as they used to. I ordered a pair of whites nomads with the 2021 sole and bakers told me they would have to put the sole on in house, whereas i got a yes at a different dealer but only in the black color.
They will no longer change the height of the nomad or the strap config and i got an "ill check but probably no" on a last change. No two tones whatsoever and no shipping without hardware. No block heel. Basically the only options you can have on nomads now are smooth or cxl and minilug or 700.
I remember them being hesitant on wacky colors for the nomad in the past but most of these are definitely new changes.
It seems like they are pretty much cracking down on options in an attempt to standardize the whole line. I asked about horsehide and cordovan on the semidress and was told these are only through bakers now and if you want them get them soon because they are probably going away altogether.

Oh hey I just got an email from Kyle telling me that whites has killed the leather liner on nomads now as well. Glad i waited like two months for that. This order may end up going to Wesco….

No. Distressed RO
My pair really need some new soles… Comfy as feck. -
I really need a pair of these
-
sorry @riffblaster general totally missed your post. Johannes is right, but I want to add they're the most comfortable and IMO best looking boots/shoes I own. I'll definitely get another pair soon, they're just a dream to walk in.
-
@Max Power I'm definitely going to order a pair. I'm just hung up on whether or not i want a pair like yours or if i want black roughout with a black sole.
-
also… let's see some fit pics of everyone's oxfords!

Dammit. I'm so torn. Can you give me the specs on those?
-
Actually I was going for black roughout on my next pair as well. ^^ this pair looks awesome.
-
Go for them, you won't be disappointed.
-
My SJ's are distressed rough out so I'm not sure I want another pair in that leather. I was eyeing up the black cxl with black soles on the bakers site too and I really like those. Too many choices!
-
ok… now i need sizing advice guys. I have a 9D in the SJ but I'm gathering that the Oxford fits very differently. Generally get a 9-9.5 in RW (9 with no added insole, 9.5 with). 9 in Alden TruBalance.
any and all advice appreciated @Max Power @Megatron1505 @JCMx800

I can only advice I'm a 10,5E in the Whites Oxfords. All my RW's are 10,5D, my Viberg Service Boots are a 10. Hope this helps.
