Description

The White's x Division Road C.F. Stead Stone Rambler 350 Springdale HSC is a 6" exclusive hand-sewn stitchdown pattern that pays homage to the company's workboot heritage in a modern design that offers a more versatile, medium-weight construction suitable for both work and contemporary lifestyle applications. This Springdale features a plain toe, stitched-in counter pocket, and backstay for a clean composition that ensures daily duty from the office to the outdoors. This White's collaboration utilizes a Division Road sourced Stone Rambler produced by the renowned C.F. Stead, known for making some of the finest leathers in the world. The Rambler is an aniline-dyed, combination re-tannage using hand-selected, full-weight steer butt hides that have been air-dried for a tightened shrunken grain. This tannage is finished on the roughout flesh side with a hardened wax, resulting in a one-of-a-kind leather out of the box that is hyper-durable enough to withstand the harshest conditions while developing a rich patina. This boot was designed in collaboration with Master Shoemaker and current CEO Eric Kinney to highlight the quintessentially Northwest stitchdown construction tradition, employing White's unique hand-sewn and all-leather builds with our functional design approach that honors the original craftsmanship, history, and lifetime durability from a fresh perspective. This Springdale uses the archival C461 Last in an accommodating E width for a comfortable fit across various foot shapes. This vintage work boot Last features an upturned sprung toe with a moderate profile and width, along with trademark mid-heel height Arch-Ease support, yielding a sophisticated logger aesthetic in a fully functional boot. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Natural CXL welt to complement the natural-finished leather midsole and block-logger heel, which has a slight sculpt that emphasizes their unique approach to making lifetime work boots. A multi-paneled upper allows for comprehensive rebuilds, and the low-profile Half Comp split sole configuration offers high traction and longevity across diverse terrains, combined with a single-row hand-sewn stitchdown for increased flexibility, comfort, and a clean aesthetic for the long haul. Finally, this exclusive Springdale comes with a full vegetable-tanned leather lining, a half-bellows tongue, oxidized eyelets, and a custom White's collar stamp, alongside the WB x DR collaboration insole stamp, adding refined elements to a rugged make. Made as a hallmark of White's unaltered hand-sewn traditions and customized to Division Road specifications, this 350 Springdale HSC has a polished aesthetic for urban environments, built to endure all outdoor conditions.
