C350-CS

The boot is designed for versatility in both work and casual environments, incorporating a water-resistant leather upper with rebuildable construction. As a variant of White's established 350 Cruiser line, the C350-CS maintains the heritage styling and functionality that has served Pacific Northwest tradespeople since 1930.

The C350-CS employs White's stitchdown construction method, a manufacturing process that differs from the company's traditional hand-sewn stitchdown technique. In this construction, the liner is glued down to the bottom of the insole, then the vamp is turned out and machine-stitched together through the vamp to the midsole and bottom layers. This process eliminates the hand-welting step while maintaining the secure fit characteristics that distinguish stitchdown boots from Goodyear welted construction.

Despite the streamlined manufacturing process, each boot is still hand-lasted and hand-bottomed by White's Boots craftspeople. The construction remains rebuildable and resoleable, allowing for long-term maintenance and repair. The stitchdown method produces a boot with more secure fit and feel than traditional Goodyear welted footwear while requiring significantly less manufacturing time than White's fully hand-sewn stitchdown models.

The C350-CS is built on White's 55 Arch-Ease™ Last with medium arch support, providing the foundation for the boot's fit characteristics. The upper consists of 6-inch full grain water-resistant leather available in seven color options: Distress Roughout, Red Dog Roughout, Black Roughout, Cinnamon Waxed Flesh, Tobacco Stampede, Black Double Shot, and British Tan Double Shot.

The sole system incorporates a Vibram 2021 Wedge Sole with a leather midsole and shank. The boot is available in sizes 7 through 13 in both D and EE width options. Due to White's last construction, most customers require sizing down half a size from their natural shoe size. Custom sizing sheets are available for customers with unique foot shapes requiring specialized fitting.

The C350-CS is manufactured on a made-to-order basis with a standard production timeline of 12 to 14 weeks. This timeframe reflects White's stitchdown construction process, which allows for shorter production cycles compared to their hand-sewn stitchdown models while maintaining quality standards. Each boot is individually crafted at the company's Spokane, Washington facility.

The retail price is $650 as of 2025, positioning the C350-CS as a more accessible option within White's heritage boot lineup. The made-to-order production model ensures that each pair is built specifically for the customer rather than maintained as inventory.

The C350-CS derives from the 350 Cruiser line, which has served Pacific Northwest trades including drivers, cruisers, miners, sportsmen, brakemen, and factory workers since 1930. White's Boots developed the C350 series as part of their expansion into more efficient manufacturing methods while preserving the heritage styling and functionality of their traditional models.

The introduction of standardized stitchdown construction for the C350 line represents a significant shift in White's manufacturing approach, allowing the company to offer heritage-quality boots with shorter production timelines and more accessible pricing. This development maintains the company's commitment to rebuildable, long-lasting footwear while adapting to contemporary market demands.
