White’s Semi Dress Boots – Swing Last – Brown CXL Leather

£735.00

Classic White’s Semi Dress boots but this time in the swing last. The last is an exaggerated Munson style military last which fits fairly standard through the heel, mid foot and ball but widens out at the end of the ball for a rounded outer toe which then tapers again around the toes (have a look at the sizing info for more detail). We often get requests for wider toe widths to accommodate splayed toes and the swing last is the answer. They look and feel great when on, good toe wiggle room without a cramped feel, low profile across the toe and wider looking but not at all clown like. The hardy distressed roughout leather, without the toe structure, really helps give them a more wide and sleek look that will get much better with age.

White’s Semi-Dress boots have the same superb qualities as shared by all White’s work styled boots in a slightly simpler style for everyday and/ or every-evening wear! Often slightly less rugged in appearance than the Smoke-Jumpers but built to last all the same.

Every pair of White’s work boots are individually hand crafted from start to finish and are made to withstand the toughest of environments.

Construction: All leather, no synthetic materials or fillers are used. Stitch-down construction for strength, comfort and ability to resole. Stitched throughout with heavy gauge waxed thread. Flexible oak tanned leather mid soles, optional Vibram outer soles, strong all-leather shank custom shaped to fit your foot and the finest leather uppers that will only get better with age makes White’s a real work horse of a boot.

The swing last Semi Dress boots fit quite true to our general rule with White’s, which is, go for the same size as your UK size so 8 UK, go for 8 US in White’s.  However, the swing last in a D width is fairly slim at the ball until broken in but has a wider toe for the wide/ splayed toe’d of us out there. These are a great fit for those that have an average width foot (US D) with splayed toes that like the wiggle room.

A size 8 in this boots feels like the below but with a wider toe:

John Lofgren Engineers: 8 US

John Lofgren M43: 8

White’s Smoke Jumper (lace to toe): 7.5

Red Wing (majority of styles): 8.5 US

Rolling Dub Trio: 7.5  (similar in length)

Viberg 2030 last: 8 D (Viberg boot sizing)

Any others, please just ask

White’s are sized in US sizes but generally fit quite true to UK sizing, so a 9US is a very similar fit to true UK size 9 (EU 43). The majority of our White’s boots are in a D width fitting which is the US average and comparable to a UK G/F. They have plenty of toe wiggle room and are snug (as they should be) through the rest of the boot.
