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. For more information on precise home measurement, visit our comprehensive Fit Guide

Last Guide

A close relative of the 695, the 690 “Packer Last” shares honors with the 4811 “Smokejumper” as our oldest last. It was with the Packer last that Otto White and his father and grandfather pioneered their legendary “Arch-Ease” construction technique, still a hallmark of superior comfort and quality today. Though not quite as high in the arch as its Thoroughbred brother, the 690 still provides ample support, and a more rounded toe-box for an understated, casual look.

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.
