White's Oxford

Price: $577.95

Original to the 1930’s, this depression era boot calls back to a time when a man wanted a solid foundation, even on his way to church on a Sunday. Some might say our classic Oxford lacks the charm of its newer colleagues in our collection, but around here, we like to keep our history close. Handsewn, hand-lasted, and hand-bottomed, the Oxford is as sturdy and comfortable as anything in our offerings.

Fit Guide

White's boot lasts run large. This means most people should take a half size down from their natural shoe size, or Brannock measurement. On our highest arched lasts, a full size may be necessary, as the arch support shortens the overall length of the foot during wear.

Last Guide

The 55 Arch-Ease Last is our second most popular last behind the Smokejumper 4811 Last. It provides a medium arch, and a wider, shallower toe-box than the 4811. For folks with lower arches, the 55 last delivers our trademark support and comfort without the severe break in associated with a truly high arch.

Construction

The hand-sewn stitchdown construction type is the lynchpin of our history, a process passed down from bootmaker to bootmaker since the beginning, way back in 1853. When hand-sewing a boot, our master bootmakers painstakingly last, welt, and bottom it by hand. Hand-lasting ensures a customized fit, hand-welting a durable and water resistant seam, and hand bottoming an all-leather arch that becomes more comfortable by the day.

Buying a White’s hand-sewn stitchdown boot is stepping into a long history of craft, dedication, and old-world quality that is increasingly rare, and enduringly valuable.

Work hard; wear White's.
