White's 350 Cutter

I bought these boots second-hand in the Stitchdown Discord marketplace, as I like the look of the 350 Cutter and did not have footwear in Maryam horsebutt at the time. First inpressions of them when they arrived was that they're heavy. They might be the heaviest pair of boots I own. The arch support was also very noticeable and significant; they are also the boots with the most arch support that I own. Unfortunately, the stitching is wonky and the glue left on in a few areas of the boots were not great. I knew White's aren't of the cleanest construction, but I would have been complaining if I bought these at full price. The Maryam horsebutt was definitely stiff at first, but got softer and more flexible the more I wore them. I also like the way it rolls more than creases, and there was some subtle graining in a few places on the boot. The color did not change that much when I was wearing them during the Dome, even though I put in a good amount of mileage on them. The color didn't change from its initial light fleshy color to its current orange brown hue until I wiped them down with a damp cloth and conditioned with some VSC. Overall, these are very substantial boots that stand out in my collection due to its heft. While I got more used to wearing them, they are still a workout if I walk more than a couple miles in them. i will definitely try to wear a lighter pair of boots for the next Thunderdome.
