Use & wear

I can count the days I didn’t wear these boots over the last 6 months on 1 hand. They have been an extension of me from home to work and everything in between.

Leather

Seidel Red Dog Oil Tan Roughout

The leather has taken on an absolutely beautiful life of its own with pronounced nap and texture. It’s softened to sneaker like comfort over the months and break in was quite easy. I took these boots on dozens of hikes and they got quite wet often and they’ve remained surprisingly dry while worn.

Fit

55 Last: 11DUS Men's Brannock: 12D
Length Feels Right
Volume Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit

I am a 12D brannock and wear this boot in 11D. They fit like a glove.

Craftsmanship

White's C350-CS

Craftsmanship is second to none. I love everything about this boot and the quality tops the list. These things are absolute tanks from top to bottom.

Sole & heel

I love the comfort of this sole, though traction has been quite limited after the significant wear they’ve acquired over the months.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

My favorite boots of all time. These are boots to walk the earth in or simply relax with the family around the house. I have worn these in every aspect of life for the past 6 months. They have taken my kids to school, weathered life in the operating room for work, and gone right into late afternoon hikes in the hills of Hunterdon County NJ day after day after day. Never uncomfortable and never compromising on durability. They wear like the beefiest most tank like sneakers I’ve ever owned, and they look incredible. They look like what boots should look like. The boot archetype.

By stepped_in_dookie_again • April 5, 2025"These have been my go to boots for everything. Almost daily wear. These boots shined where ankle support was needed. Some activities: - Daily walks along a short rocky trail with my three 70lb - 80lbs dogs. Walking two dogs or one hyper Weimaraner at a time. At minimum four times a day. A lot of the scratches/scrapesn you see are from these walks. The ankle support and tough Red Dog leather kept me protected on these walks. For example, when my dogs would charge a stray cat/squirrel and pull me unwillingly to join the cause, it was typically into rocks or branches and but thankfully I fell on my face because of the ankle support. I tried the same walk in sandals once, and apparently the sides of my bare feet don’t enjoy rocks. Weird - Helped my friend move during a rainstorm carrying heavy stuff up to the third floor - Two Metal shows and several moshpits. Ankle support was great and kept standing in the pits. The tall heel helped me see above crowds to see the bands (me at 5’ 9” any extra height is welcomed) - Outdoor food festival, many outdoor breweries and food trucks - Local fantasy themed pro-wrestling show. Tall heel again helped see the action again - Trip back home to San Francisco Bay Area and traversing the hills of SF the tall heel made walking up hills easier - Trips to museums - Visited my friends farm, fed some cows. It was great - Chilled at my local coffee shop working on my laptop many times - Most importantly: wore them to hang with friends that would listen to me monologue about the history of the packer boots and why I think they’re so cool..."Read the full review

Boots were mid. Don't raise the heel height, you're gonna have a bad time.

The Whites Perry Select have been great boots so far. I’ve put thick leather insoles in them.
