Live 50 miles from Spokane, have Whites, Nick’s, & JK’s, I’ll be adding a pair of Frank’s shortly. My oldest Whites are closing in on 20 years, still going strong. Great to live in the land of the best made boots $ can buy.

The Frank's and Nick's are stitchdown, not welted. The White's and Frank's are not suede, it's roughout. Frank's doesn't stitch through the honey or white X soles because it's prone to chip between the edge and the stitch on the softer soles. Additionally, all three makers don't stitch through on the thicker midsoles.

They are just different terms that mean the same thing for the leather. And franks does stitch through the honey and white x soles.

When these PNW boots break in does the toe box leather form to your toes? Just wondering because most of them don’t have a structured toe

@GentlemansJourney 6 ай бұрын

The footbed does but not necessarily the top of the toe.

@bricktop201 5 ай бұрын

The upper toe box doesn’t form to your foot per se, but rather softens up and tends to lose a bit of shape if they don’t have steel, carbon or celastic inserts. It’s not a bad thing, it just means it’s more comfortable to walk in. The foot bed absolutely forms to your foot.

@@crosspointholsters1636 Bakers Boots and Nicks Boots disagree with you. “Suede, unlike roughout, is made from the under-layer part of the leather is usually cheaper and less durable.” Facts are not rude. I suggest you learn your craft and shut your mouth.

Your cobbler isn’t schooled in PNW boots. Don’t let him work on your boots. First he needs to learn the difference between suede and rough out.

@@GentlemansJourneyDude, do you even pay attention? Suede and roughout are absolutely not the same thing, yet you ignore it every time it’s mentioned. Suede is made from splitting the hide down the middle to get under layer of the leather. Roughout is the underside of the hide and is NOT split. They are totally different textures.
