I have the same size. Got 2 pairs of Whites boots. Best boots money can buy. Prefer to wear them over any other shoes for comfort.

I added the toe cap and vibram soles.



Love that toe cap! Im on my 3rd pair of Whites.

Just ordered these. I'm all about as much foot protection as possible.

I am not afraid to pay that. But your comment about being close to price of off shelf is a little off. $300 for Danners for some of the Made in USA models. under $225 for Redwings, Chinese though.

I am going to look at Whites though. Curious.

I am lucky I have a manly job. I haven't worn a polo shirt in 10 years. Just have to wear proper PPE, which the company buys me.

What do you mean? Backer boots built a pair of white boots? I am on Whites website, and not seeing custom option, but I just got there. Went one company called Baker, and they don't have white. Maybe wrong one.

I am looking for lace up boots without heel. I am damaged my boot, and need a small heel.

Yes they're lace ups, and the Ft Lewis in particular is tall, lotsa support.
Feel great being worn, I have a pair of engineer boots, they feel ok riding, they're loose, the Danners feel snug but soft, feel like hi-top runners.
