The Foreman is a work boot manufactured by White's Boots since the early 2020s. Built using stitchdown construction on the 610 last, the Foreman combines White's traditional durability with off-the-shelf comfort at a $585 price point. The boot features a 6-inch full grain water-resistant leather upper, Vibram Cristy Crepe sole, and rebuildable construction designed for versatility across work and casual environments.
White's positions the Foreman as a "jack of all trades" lifestyle boot suitable for mud, snow, and gravel conditions. The model represents White's expansion into more accessible pricing while maintaining core construction quality through stitchdown methods that reduce production time compared to their fully hand-sewn options.
The Foreman uses White's stitchdown construction method, which creates a more secure fit than Goodyear welted boots while requiring less production time than White's hand-sewn stitchdown models. The construction process involves hand-lasting and hand-bottoming, with the liner glued to the insole bottom and the vamp turned out before machine-stitching the midsole and bottom together.
The boot features a 6-inch full grain water-resistant leather upper designed to absorb high impact. Interior components include a leather midsole and shank that provide custom fit characteristics, while the rebuildable design allows for resoling and reconstruction throughout the boot's lifespan.
White's fits the Foreman with a Vibram Cristy Crepe sole specifically chosen for comfortable wear on hard surfaces. The sole complements the 610 last design, which incorporates a low arch profile that reduces the break-in period compared to other White's lasts.
The Foreman carries model number C806CC and retails for $585 as a made-to-order boot with 12-14 week production times. White's offers the boot in sizes 7-13 across D (standard) and EE (wide) width options, with special widths available through direct manufacturer contact.
The boot runs large in White's typical fashion, with most customers advised to size down half a size from their standard shoe size. The 610 last provides a roomier toe box compared to dress boots while maintaining the low arch support that characterizes this particular last design.
Standard leather options include Black and Brown Distress finishes, both utilizing the same full grain water-resistant leather construction. The 6-inch height measurement represents the distance from heel to top of the boot opening.
Beyond the standard Foreman model, White's produces several variants to expand the boot's applications. The Foreman Steel Toe version adds safety toe protection for industrial environments while maintaining the same construction and materials as the standard model.
A Lace-to-Toe variant extends the lacing system down to the toe area, providing additional adjustability and a different aesthetic profile. This version appeals to users preferring maximum fit customization across the entire foot.
Roland Sands Design has collaborated with White's to create limited Foreman versions in Tobacco and Oxblood colorways. These collaboration models feature premium Chrome Excel leather instead of the standard water-resistant leather, targeting motorcycle and lifestyle markets through the Roland Sands distribution network.
