Thanks Nicholas, will do!! I have another pair of White’s due up, Wesco’s, Benzein engineers, Alden Indy and some flame pandas on the horizon! I also plan I circle back and give some good in depth long term wear reviews. Thanks for tuning in.
Turn the calipers around. The end is also used for measuring. I'm referring to when you tried to measure the welt. You can butt up the end of the calipers and open them to measure.
@@trinityhandmade3864 man those travelers in wickett and craig leather are a grail boot for sure. maybe like burgundy/black/dark brown bridle leather with a darker sole or something .. :D
Thanks for doing this review. My 350 cruisers fit perfect would you recommend sizing up a half size? My Nicks travelers (I think are 55 last) are just a bit short in the toe box.
Use some Obenaufs heavy duty LP. I just did my red dog roughout ramblers with it and It looks great! The beeswax in it will mat it down for a little while but it pops back up.
Have an opportunity to get these at a discount. Curious on what you think about the black rough out and how it ages. Not a huge fan from pics, but looks better in the video.
Would you recommend? Especially with winter coming? And do you ever get wet from out side rain or so and does your feet sweat in them. And how are they for daily wear
You obviously dig the 55 last. I just got a pair of these recently and haven't worn them yet because of that arch. I'm used to much flatter boots and I'm hesitant to dig in. That drop off is intimidating. Is that something that wears in fairly quickly? Is it going to ruin my flatter boots for me, or I'll have to start wearing orthotics in them? Was the medium arch an adjustment for you at first?
Hey man. I will say it’s probably going to take you 5-10 wears (all day) to get used to the feeling. And maybe 20-25 to fully break in that arch to your foot, it takes longer with the wedge sole because it’s a softer sole so there’s a little less pressure on the arch, at least that’s my theory. In short, yes if you end up liking the 55 then it will 100% ruin flat boot for you. I haven’t found an orthotic that I like or than even comes close to 55. They always do something weird in the heel. I still wear plenty of boots without 55 like arch support and I can wear them all day,. It’s not painful or anything, you just miss that secure feeling of support that only comes from proper arch support. I have a really high arch so I don’t feel much of anything in a boot until it hits the 55 level. The moderate arch on MPs I can barely feel. Nicks classic arch is good and mellow for an intro into arch, but White’s semi dress/55 is where it’s at! Cheers man hope you can make it work.
Deciding between these, 350 cutter in black chromexcel, or the MP-Sherman in black chromexcel…how’s the roughout been? I’ve never had a roughout leather boot, is it pretty easy to care and maintain?
They require almost zero maintenance, just a brushing if you feel like it. Rough out does not need to be conditioned or treated unless you really want to.
Great review man! I just placed order for Brown waxed flesh bounty hunters few days ago… how is the arch support on these as compared your British team ltt boots. Do you feel the arch same way? I’m big on the arch support (I’m aging faster than the boots) so was looking if any wedge sole boots offer the same arch support as you feel with the heels?!
Honestly I feel the arch in this exactly the same as the LTT on 55 last. With the combo of the half slip and the large heel on this 2021 sole, it feels exactly the same. I’d say send it!!
I wear a 10.5D in both the No. 23 last (RW 875) and the 55 last. Depending on the width of your foot and how well the 875’s fit they would more than likely be the same size.
Thanks for weighing in Nick. Always hesitant to give sizing advice as I don’t want to be responsible for someone wasting money lol! The two pairs of redwings I’ve had have been the same size as my 55 size but they were both on different lasts.
I wear a size 10 in regular sneakers and 8.5D in RW IR but can only wear them comfortably in thinner socks as they are quite snug in full cushion boot socks. I have the Whites C350-CE in 8.5D and they fits perfectly, with about a thumb space at the toe. The widest part of my foot is right where the boot bends and I have zero heel slip. I hope that helps!
Man, ever sense I seen this I've been wondering how that Sole would grip on a roof, because I'm really battling between this and the redwing slate muleskinner MOC. Until I can get some customs from Frank's.
Loads more over a lug sole. The sole on these is much softer than the typical flat bottom Christy sole as well. One of the most bouncy soles I’ve ever had. I ended up selling them a month ago as the thick wedge just turned out to not be a style I really ended up loving. But 55 last boots from white’s are one of my favorites for all day wear. You really can’t go wrong.
Good perspective, you’re right regardless of color the cxl rough out side is still natural, unless they purposefully die the rough out side on hides designated as rough out. But yeah, likely Seidel.
Got little boots. Mine weigh 3.1 pounds. (Just sarcasm lol I looked back and thought this comment seemed too serious 😂. I believe my feet are smaller than yours 😂😂😂)
@@trinityhandmade3864 Oh, also to mention: their dress leathers (brown dress, black dress, and the "elk tan" which are just thicker versions of the same) are also from Seidel. Criminally underrated tannery if you ask me!
Keep the videos coming! They have been of great help and I always look forward to your next one. Well done sir.
Thanks Nicholas, will do!! I have another pair of White’s due up, Wesco’s, Benzein engineers, Alden Indy and some flame pandas on the horizon! I also plan I circle back and give some good in depth long term wear reviews. Thanks for tuning in.
WHITE’S, FOREMAN, MOC TOE, AND 350 CRUISER DR X. I TOO AM ADDICTED TO THESE SHOES. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WHITE’S DR AS THAT WILL BE MY FIRST 55 LAST.
saw them post this boot on instagram a little while ago, so i made a youtube search and you happened to upload a video on the same day. woah
It’s fate, you must buy these now haha. I couldn’t find any other videos so I knew I had to make one.
@@trinityhandmade3864 haha really eyeing them now after seeing the instagram post. need to save :-)

Hey that totally makes sense! Thanks for the tip, obviously not a tool I use often 😆
oh god another white's, you literally livin my dream man
Hahah, I’ll take one of each please!
Nice review, and thanks for pointing out the sole/heel detail and information. I love those, man.
My pleasure dude, thank you!
🤘🤘🤘 very jealous
These things are comfy!! Highly recommend either these or the Nicks traveler on 55 as well.
@@trinityhandmade3864 man those travelers in wickett and craig leather are a grail boot for sure. maybe like burgundy/black/dark brown bridle leather with a darker sole or something .. :D
Oh that would be cool, I have never had a pair with a black wedge but it looks cool!

@@nickmcclane33 your 350 cruisers should fit exactly the same as these boots, they are both built on the same last.
i recently bought a rambler in cinnamon waxed flesh and i am loving it..
That’s a great leather, they are so comfortable I hope you enjoy them.
Just ordered the same yesterday. Can’t wait to get em in. They will be my 1st waxed flesh boots.
Cinnamon is great, my MP’s are cinnamon and it’s a great leather. Way more soft and supple than you would expect.
Cool stuff! I really like those cutters. Cool leather! Arch support is a truly great benefit.
they're not Cutters.. Cutters are LTT
The leather is Seidel black oiltan
Love those boots. Black roughout is on my list. Cheers
Honestly I love it, thick but still super soft and supple.
I didn't realize the side flap is an order option. Nice!!!
Lineman’s patch! Can be added to any lace to toe
Use some Obenaufs heavy duty LP. I just did my red dog roughout ramblers with it and It looks great! The beeswax in it will mat it down for a little while but it pops back up.
Sweet, almost like a homemade waxed flesh eh?
@@trinityhandmade3864 ya pretty close, not as smooth though.
@@trinityhandmade3864 It keeps the water and engine oil out of the boots.
He’s wearing selvedge jeans and a barn coat. Works at Amazon
I’m actually a tattoo artist but thanks for the views my man!

Very nice boots thank you for sharing
Those look very nice it looks like it can make a good boot to wear with jeans
For sure! Very casual boots
Nice looking boots!
Would you recommend? Especially with winter coming? And do you ever get wet from out side rain or so and does your feet sweat in them. And how are they for daily wear
Yes, super comfy and water reisistant. Not water proof, for water proof you will need something designed for that

how big is that welt shelf.. looks huge...

I just got a pair of these boots. Does that feeling that there is a bar across the bottom of your foot go away after you break them in?
Great review man! I just placed order for Brown waxed flesh bounty hunters few days ago… how is the arch support on these as compared your British team ltt boots. Do you feel the arch same way?

@@trinityhandmade3864 thanks. Great engineering then… wonder how they achieved that approx 2 inch heel lift with the half slips 👍🏻
Thicccc sole
These are on my list!
They should be on everyone’s!
How does they fit compared with RedWing? I have a 9US in 875 and a 9E in Wesco’s Jobmaster…
I don’t have experience in either of those lasts to compare sorry!
I wear a 10.5D in both the No. 23 last (RW 875) and the 55 last. Depending on the width of your foot and how well the 875’s fit they would more than likely be the same size.

these are super nice and look super comfortable. so im curious how you like them after a while
They have literally only gotten more comfortable haha. I really love these boots. They are in my top 5
Nice boots.
Thank you!
Man, ever sense I seen this I've been wondering how that Sole would grip on a roof, because I'm really battling between this and the redwing slate muleskinner MOC. Until I can get some customs from Frank's.
I prefer eyelets more than speed hooks....at least you be sure they won't fail 😆
Good point haha!!
How do you feel about them after 6 months? How much shock absorption does the sole give you over a vibrant lug sole?
Loads more over a lug sole. The sole on these is much softer than the typical flat bottom Christy sole as well. One of the most bouncy soles I’ve ever had. I ended up selling them a month ago as the thick wedge just turned out to not be a style I really ended up loving. But 55 last boots from white’s are one of my favorites for all day wear. You really can’t go wrong.
woh nice boots!
What's the difference in weight between your Ramblers and 350 Cutters?
Same height, both 6” uppers.
I’m guessing seidel as well. Definitely not reverse cxl, would be less nap and it wouldn’t be black all the way through.
Good perspective, you’re right regardless of color the cxl rough out side is still natural, unless they purposefully die the rough out side on hides designated as rough out. But yeah, likely Seidel.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏
White's work leathers are all from Seidel.
Thank you! I’ll make sure to include that in my follow up video.
@@trinityhandmade3864 Oh, also to mention: their dress leathers (brown dress, black dress, and the "elk tan" which are just thicker versions of the same) are also from Seidel. Criminally underrated tannery if you ask me!
so are all whites boots made to order?
No they do have quite a few stock boots, this is one of them. It’s just when they are low on stock they are all made to order haha.
does the rambler have a shank? thanks.
@7:49
Nice! What the the measurement for the thickness of the sole? Like the heel height?
Foam is 1 1/8” and full heel with leather is 1.5”
I appreciate that, thanks!
Is the leather stickie?
No not at all, it looks oily but it’s actually very dry and soft! Not sticky at all
They told me it’s from Horween.
Is your size is whites the same as Nicks?
On the 55 last, yes.
Do you have any 9.5d for sale? :)
I do not!
The sole is awful, way to clumpy.
It’s a chunky boy, bot everyone’s cup of tea!
Listening to this guys nasally pnw hipster voice…
