Main Street

The boot features Goodyear welt construction, distinguishing it from White's premium hand-sewn stitchdown models. As part of White's lifestyle collection, the Main Street is designed for urban wear rather than the heavy-duty work applications that built the company's reputation over more than 160 years of bootmaking.

The Main Street boot takes its name from White's historic location in downtown Spokane, Washington. The company was originally situated at the corner of Main Street and Stevens Street from 1915 until 1970, when operations moved to their current facility. Company president Eric Kinney explained the naming strategy: "We are trying to name most of our lifestyle boots and new work boots after Spokane city streets."

This naming convention connects White's modern lifestyle collection to the company's geographic roots in the Pacific Northwest. The Main Street and its companion model, the Stevens Street boot, commemorate the intersection that served as White's home for over five decades during its growth from a regional bootmaker to a nationally recognized heritage brand.

The Main Street utilizes Goodyear welt construction, a machine-stitched method that allows for resoling while offering more accessible pricing than White's hand-welted boots. This construction method represents White's adaptation of traditional bootmaking techniques for their lifestyle market, maintaining durability while streamlining production.

White's continues to employ many traditional techniques in their manufacturing process. Their premium boots involve hand-sewn stitchdown construction with over 25 unique stages, where each boot is hand-lasted, hand-welted, and hand-bottomed by master bootmakers. The Main Street, while using Goodyear welt construction, still benefits from White's expertise in leather selection and assembly developed over more than a century of bootmaking.

The company offers both made-to-order and off-the-rack options depending on stock availability. Related models in the lifestyle collection, such as the Stevens Street boot, feature the 5050 Arch-Ease™ Last with Horween Chromexcel leather, demonstrating White's commitment to quality materials across their product lines.

The Main Street is priced approximately between $370 and $490, positioning it as an accessible entry point into White's heritage footwear lineup. This pricing reflects the Goodyear welt construction method while maintaining the company's standards for materials and craftsmanship.

The boot is available through White's established distribution network, which has supported the company's growth since their relocation to Spokane in 1915. The Main Street serves customers seeking White's construction quality in a lifestyle-oriented design suitable for urban and casual wear applications.
