Rambler

The boot represents White's entry into the lifestyle segment while maintaining the company's heritage construction methods dating back to 1853. At $650, the Rambler offers White's quality craftsmanship in a more accessible format compared to their fully hand-sewn boots, with a 12-14 week production lead time. The model serves both work and casual wear applications, emphasizing durability and comfort for extended wear.

The Rambler utilizes White's hand-sewn stitchdown construction, a method involving over 25 unique hand production stages performed by master bootmakers. Each boot is hand-lasted and hand-bottomed in White's Spokane facility, maintaining traditional construction techniques that have been refined since the mid-1800s.

The boot features a 6-inch full grain water-resistant leather upper built on White's 55 Arch-Ease™ Last, which provides arch support that molds to the wearer's foot over time. The construction includes a leather midsole and shank, contributing to the boot's structural integrity and long-term durability. The Vibram® 2021 Wedge Sole provides cushioning and traction while maintaining the ability to be resoled as part of the boot's rebuildable construction.

White's stitchdown construction differs from fully hand-sewn methods by using machine-stitching for the midsole and bottom attachment, reducing production time while maintaining the structural benefits of the construction type. This approach allows for a more secure fit compared to Goodyear welted boots while offering resoling capabilities throughout the boot's lifespan.

The Rambler retails for $650 and is available in sizes 7-13 with D and EE width options. White's recommends sizing a half size down from natural shoe size for optimal fit. The boot requires a 12-14 week production lead time due to the made-to-order construction process.

Available leather options include Distress Roughout, Red Dog Roughout, Black Roughout, Cinnamon Waxed Flesh, Tobacco Stampede, Black Double Shot, and British Tan Double Shot. Each leather option maintains the same construction specifications while offering different aesthetic and aging characteristics.

The boot's rebuildable and resoleable construction allows for long-term maintenance and repair. In addition to sole replacement, the entire boot can be rebuilt over time, extending its functional lifespan significantly beyond conventional footwear.

White's Boots was founded in 1853, establishing over 160 years of bootmaking heritage. The company relocated to Spokane, Washington in 1915, where it has maintained continuous production using traditional construction methods. The Spokane facility houses both manufacturing operations and the company's retail presence.

The Rambler continues White's philosophy of creating boots for "tough, determined, and proud" workers, originally serving loggers, construction workers, and wildland firefighters throughout the Pacific Northwest. The model maintains the company's commitment to hand construction while making White's craftsmanship accessible to a broader audience.

White's traditional construction methods date back to the mid-1800s, with each bootmaker trained in techniques passed down through generations of craftsmen. The company's focus on hand-sewn construction distinguishes it from mass-production methods, maintaining individual attention to each pair throughout the manufacturing process.

The Rambler is available directly from White's Boots as well as through authorized retailers including Baker Shoe, Division Road Inc., East West Apparel, and other heritage footwear specialists. International availability extends to European markets through distributors such as East West Apparel in the UK.

The made-to-order production model ensures each boot is constructed specifically for the customer, contributing to the extended lead time but allowing for quality control throughout the manufacturing process. The boot's positioning within White's product line provides an entry point to the brand's construction methods while maintaining the durability standards associated with the company's heritage.
