 G'day. Welcome to Buitlosophy. My name is Teck and I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands that I live and work on, the Wajik people of the Greater Nongar Nation. Now, I'm really excited because I've just been to the post office and I've picked up this box which says trusty original, which means it's from whites. So as I say, I'm really excited because I came back from vacation and this was waiting for me at the post office and I just went to pick it up this morning. It's a box from whites. Let's get into it. Let's open her up, which I imagine is through here and in there, in the shipping box is the whites box. Let's get her out. So, white box, authentic whites, handmade boots, Spokane, Washington. This is really exciting for me. We'll open her up now. This is white's Fulton boot, which I haven't seen many reviews of on the internet, but it's a very interesting design. As you can see, it's a mock-toe and my understanding is this is a true mock-toe with two pieces of leather sewn together in the mock-toe version. It's an eight-inch boot from the heel, a padded collar for comfort, brass eyelets and brass bead hooks, and an eyelet at the top. So four, four, and an eyelet at the top. This is the Goodyear welted version, which is a cheaper version because it's faster to make and the Goodyear welted boots from whites are around the mid-300s, postage to Australia included during the high 300s. This is in the brown distress leather, which I don't know too much about and I don't know which tannery it comes from, but I'll obviously research that when I do a bit more of a deep dive into these boots. The feel of it in the brown distress is I think a newbuckier waxed or oiled newbuck kind of feel to it. The tongue is almost fully gusseted, almost right to the top, and you can see that the leather has a bit of pull-up in it, as you can see as I sort of put pressure on it from the other side. This has a Vibram midsole, so I understand that's rubber. It has a Vibram honey lug commando sole, so should be quite comfortable. And from what I can see from this boot, you know, it's really well made. Triple stitching, two rows of double stitching. Well stitched along the eyelets, smells beautiful. There's a little recess pull loop, which is quite good because then it shouldn't be catching on your pants. Reasonably thick and wide tongue. This is made in Spokane, Washington at the headquarters of Whites. And as I say, I haven't really heard or seen too many reviews of these boots. This is the other pair, they've been a little bit crushed in the in the packing. But again, I don't see any sort of weird things in their stitching. A little bit of sawdust falling out, whatever that was, interesting. And they come with these tasselon laces, which I don't mind, I quite like these tasselon laces. I might switch them over for leather at some stage, but we'll see. So let's get them on feet and we'll take a look. So let's get this pair of Whites Fulton boots on feet with their seemingly crazy long laces, their tasselon laces. As I say, I haven't seen too many reviews of these boots on the internet or on YouTube, but I really like the look of them because of their mock toe effect, as well as their distress brown leather. I think as a pair of Wolt boots, they're really interesting, particularly with the Vibram mini lug sole. The fit is really good. These are size eight, my usual half down from Brannick type sizing. They are eight inch boots, full grain distress brown leather, which I think is a kind of old new buck, and White says that it's water resistant leather. The brass hardware is pretty shiny, but I think we'll probably wear really well. The tasselon laces are crazy long, but that's fine. They wrap around. They are good your Wolt construction, which means they're machine sewn, not hand sewn. They don't have the famous Wolt's rolled Wolt, although they do have a storm Wolt lip. There's a Vibram rubber full slip midsole and a Vibram honey lug sole. They look pretty good to me. There's also a composite shank in these, rather than a leather shank. All in all, that's why they sell for the $350 odd dollars, rather than the $500s and above. It's on the 1972 Arch Ease Last, which means it's not as high in the arch and makes for a little bit easier break-in, and I can feel the comfort ortho-light footbed, which means that they actually feel really soft underfoot, particularly with the honey lug sole as well, which is a softer rubber composition. So there you go, eight inches with a comfort padded collar. I think that's very comfortable. The fit at 8D is perfect for my feet. Right, let's wrap this up. So that's my first impressions and the unboxing of the White's Fulton work boot. I hope you like the first impressions and the unboxing, and of course, as usual, I'll wear them for a few weeks and I'll bring you a more in-depth review when I look at the whole boot and a full review of the construction and how they wear, and then I'll do my usual thing and bring them back to you in about a year's time and see how well they perform.
