White's LTT Lineman 350 - 55 - Vibram Mini Lug - Olive Waxed Flesh
Description
The White's x Division Road Olive Waxed Flesh 350 Lineman is a 6" Lace-to-Toe pattern inspired by original toe lace logger and lineman boots debuted by Otto White in the 1920’s that were popular with workman due to greater accuracy in adjusting fit based on the conditions of use, foot swelling, or injury. These Division Road White's are characterized by the dutiful Olive Waxed Flesh produced by Horween in a similar process to Chromexcel. Using a wax application during the tanning process on the roughout side of Natural CXL yields a leather with water-resistant properties designed to patina by revealing the sand colored nap of the flesh side over prolonged use. This boot is designed in collaboration with Master Shoemaker and now CEO, Eric Kinney, to hallmark the quintessentially Northwest stitchdown construction tradition using White's unique hand-sewn and all-leather builds with our functional design approach to honor original craftsmanship, history, and lifetime durability with a fresh perspective. This LTT Lineman comes with the addition of a lineman patch over the vamp for added protection and an historically accurate reference that combines with an unstructured toe box, giving a low profile form to the popular Arch-Ease 55 Last known for providing trademark support with a more approachable break-in and having an elegant, classic round toe shape with an accommodating forefoot and moderate profile that matches a wide variety of feet. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Natural CXL welt to match the natural finished leather midsole and block-logger heel with a slight sculpt that emphasizes their completely unique approach to making lifetime work boots. A multi-paneled upper allows for comprehensive rebuilds and the low profile Vibram 430 Mini Lug Sole provides high traction and longevity for all terrains which, combined with a single row hand-sewn stitchdown, allows for greater flexibly, comfort, and a clean aesthetic for the long-haul. Finally, this Lineman comes with an outdoor-purposed, contrasting Natural CXL fully gusseted tongue and contrasting heavy duty natural upper thread for the rugged and is refined with brass metal eyelets and a leather pull loop, finished with a custom White's collar stamp and WB x DR collaboration insole stamp. Made as a hallmark to White's unaltered, hand-sewn traditions and customized to Division Road specifications, this 350 Lace-to-Toe Lineman is built for the woods in a polished aesthetic suitable for urban environs.

Notes
This is a hand-sewn, hand-welted stitchdown workwear boot made to withstand a lifetime in challenging conditions, with a focus on durability first. Irregularity is indicative of this rare boot making process and as such, each pair is unique. We suggest our customers embrace the character, hand grade details, and variation of this footwear, as that is what makes it special. This is not the product for those seeking a highly refined or lighter-weight build. For more information on White’s production, see our White’ Factory Tour.
Sizing
White's sizing is consistent to our old grade manufacturers and the 55 Last is frequently equal to a Viberg or Tricker's for most feet. As a general rule when sizing for White's, we suggest you select a half (.5) size down from a common US boot like Red Wing or Alden, or one-and-a-half (1.5) sizes down from a common US sneaker like Nike or New Balance.
