White's Bounty Hunter

Horween Cinnamon Waxed Flesh
River

I was careful to both wear and neglect these boots as much as possible to ensure maximum results.

If you are a wildland hotshot/ smokejumper/fireman, then Cinnamon Waxed Flesh is not worth it. If you want a fantastic experience in a waxed flesh leather, don't hesitate to choose CWF. Before this experience, I never would have believed that this leather would be durable. General construction is well within the range of this leather. Cleaning amounted to knocking the soles off with a brush (if)I had interior work. Twice in six months I wet wiped with a rag and dry clean cloth. Washed a total of (ONCE) with suds and dried in the sun after a day of week of concrete and mortar work. I thoroughly neglected these boots. I wore them every day. That is the beginning and the end of my involvement. How do you place a value on quality? How could I not recommend these? Thanks, Ben and the team at the Patina Project for dreaming and allowing us in on the ride. What a trip!

More about this item

Comfortable and Solid, grateful to have such fine work boots.

Why I own this

Custom

If by "makeup" you mean build choices, then....in no particular order.... 1. My feet are happiest in White's Arch-ease lasts. Don't ask me how much I spent learning this. 2. Cinnamon Waxed Flesh was and is an all-time favorite leather. 3. Lace-to-toe is king for fit, comfort, support, and anesthetics. There is something wrong with the lacing spaces on the plain toe to my eye. 4. Black eye with speed hooks and black laces is 🔥 hot. 5. Split sole v-tread is key for style. 6. Calfskin white liner is next level comfort, ease, and classic. 7. Rolled top is better in a photo, but I went with the more comfortable cut top. 8. 10" is better for support in a variety of activities, and low-cut boots look and feel wrong to me. 9. Ladder lacing is quick, stable, allows for movement as feet expand and contract throughout wearing, and looks badass.

How I sized

Sized in Person
Brannock Measurements
Circumferential Measurements
Recommendation for Foot Shape

Fit by a couple of White's professionals in person. Tested in actual Handstitched and stitchdown builds. Using flex tape for circumference at several points on both feet, ankles, and lower legs. As well as being measured using a Brannock device. I have a hi-arch that is also very flexible in compression. It was not a one-stop fit, I am learning about my feet still. If I had to attribute one event to learning the most about my size I would say it was the in person pro-team at White's.
