Am a fan of Nick’s boots I haven’t tried White’s yet but as a PNW boot they can be difficult to break in, but after the break in their extremely comfortable
You can get a diagram of the design of the boot the reason why the heel is made like that it takes a lot of your arches and unto the heel of your foot when you walk in the forest you can tear the land up with these they are very very good boots and actually the lights are the probably the last pair of all leather boots I will ever buy living in Colorado you have some rough Terrain
Roughout is for making them even more durable and abrasion resistant for when you're doing heavy outdoor work and such, so not a look or a feature I really need most of the time, but I got similar boots with honey outsoles instead of the ice black [white x] like those. I just don't want to take a pair of Fire rated boots from somebody who might need them, but I still want snake protection and such for the leg that 6" hiking boots won't give.

The best pair of boots I have bought are whites I've also owned Wesco boots another good brand
That's what happens eventually with those rubber soles. They harden up and get slippery/ pieces break off.

The original bootmaker his name is Otto White this boot has been a style has been around since the late 1800s or so if I'm correct

I don't know if the White's run MORE narrow than everybody else, but the Rose Anvil collab pair I got sure do.
I don't think you should need a rebuild for more than a year with those if you're not doing anything too rugged in them.
