    Bacon jacket? Red rider?

      had a pair of all-white boots a while back. every time i tried wearing them, i just felt they were waaaay too much. admittedly, they were brighter white than the ones u are lookin at, and everything else i wear is black, so mine really stuck out. but i still say no. when in doubt, don't...

        I love how you ended it there, "when in doubt, don't: buy them....or don't not buy them" (even though the latter is grammatically wrong lol).

        Its good to get peoples opinions, my brain is just obsessed with the boots (black ones, white are last resort) and not actually thinking about if I could ever wear them or not lol. SO THANKS!!!! More responses would save my wallet and stupidity tbh

            what i don't like about these boots is the natural leather colour shining through the white. and there is something really strange about the shape of the heel. seems so...clunky.
            other than that i see no problem in wearing white boots, except that its a pain in the ass to keep them clean

                Agreed. If you are going with white boots don't keep them all nice and clean. It takes away all the character from them and to me just looks too shiny.

                  I shall keep this post short, as I have been informed assertively by a certain someone to stop posting replies on the same thread and to use PM, I'm totally confused by it btw but anyhoo no harm done:D, mellow as a marshmellow on weed. I just thought I should show some common courtesy to reply within same thread.

                  But I'll need to search in forums on peoples experience on using black wax to turn them into black. BUT DEF TY!

                    if i'd buy white boots, i'd like them to keep their colour.. of course not in terms of being shiny everafter. but i guess that's a question of personal taste! guess that also has to do with my conscience telling me to at least try to preserve expensive clothing.

                    Edit: "I just thought about it wearing them white until they get totally dirty, and just wax em black ;)" - shdws

                    another good approach to deal with that problem. haha

                      Yea..I'm not 100% sure to go with them or not, you are right...it will be in other words very eye catching which is definitely not my intentions.

                      side note: you look at your feet when you walk in general : /? or is it because if they were white, its just like distracting so to speak?

                      Anyone else has their opinion on white boots (Or these ones in question? and fit pics of any white boots? (i looked so hard in WAYWT thread couldn't find much for a while...gave up)I really want to see someone donning some white boots actually, or even the puppies I'm talking about!

                      (sorry about double post my bad)
                      I wear white footwear quite often, including some white boots (these are Margiela size zips in white perforated leather, just got the cowboy boot version -also in white).

                        Since we're on the topic of white boots, what about the CCP folded oxfords in 'urine'. They look pretty nice to me.

                          It's totally fine to preserve investment goods, which are what most boots are at this price range. But the problem with white boots I find is that they are too bright that its hard to concentrate on anything else other than how white the boots are - everything else in the outfit is shadowed. But of course it's a personal taste thing, some people here like the fact that they stand out. For me, I find new and clean converse chuck taylors weird, they beg to be beaten up; so by that logic I also feel the same about white boots.

                            FuumaThanks for a good IRL pic of white boots fit. Lol your hair reminds me of mine while I'm tying to grow mine out.
                            Swrecked That is no where near white I think, its like creamy, at best off white, and I myself am not a fan of those anyway, but others may like em.
                            Dying white boots are def an option, I have read about people dying leather(mainly Jackets), I just need the cojones to do it.
