White’s Semi-Dress
Boots to match 501XX.
Introduction.
I often wear boots with long length jeans, and the most frequently used boots are the White’s Semi-Dress boots introduced here.
The heel is high and the slant is a little forward, so you wear them in a posture like standing on tiptoes, which is uncomfortable at first, but they are very good boots that elongate your back, improve your posture and make your legs look longer.
Well-made and once they feel good on your feet, you won’t want to let them go.
Unlike other boots, the feeling of wearing them is like standing on tiptoes, and until your feet get used to the hard leather and the thickness of the soles, you may feel uncomfortable, but after wearing them for a few days, you will soon get used to them. The hard leather becomes soft and comfortable when you get used to them, and the shape of the toe stand gives you a good posture and a good look when you wear them.
The size recommended in the shop is one to two sizes smaller than the average shoe size. When the shop staff fits you, they do not dare to tell you the size, but you will be surprised when you hear the actual size.
The leather is made from chrome Excel leather, a thick, carefully tanned cowhide from the Hawwynn company. The Horween company is famous for its Shell Cordovan, and many Alden leather shoes are made from Horween leather and are well known to people who like leather products and leather shoes. The leather is of very high quality, so it is highly durable and the more you use it, the more it adapts to your feet.
They are made using the Goodyear welt method, sewn with sturdy Irish linen, with a hot sole and a Vibram sole, so they are made to be durable and prevent water penetration, despite being leather shoes.
The boots are made of carefully selected materials with priority given to functionality, so they are highly recommended boots with a very high degree of attachment when worn. I wear them with my long 501XX and Lee 101Z.

What we like.
- Functionality made tough with high quality, tough cowhide leather.
- Lasts based on dress shoes, a style that’s more than just hard wearing.
- High heel and styling that makes the foot look longer when worn.
- Leather shoes are often hesitant to use in the rain, but the functionality allows you to wear them without worrying about the rain.
Concerns.
- The leather is hard when you first take them down, so they hurt around your ankles and the base of your thumbs, but after wearing them a few times you will get used to them and not mind them.
- The boots are worn with a high heel and forward lean, so they feel a little uncomfortable when running (I don’t think you’ll be running in these boots most of the time).
- The above points are minor things, and these are excellent leather boots that you will love once they are comfortable on your feet.
Conclusion.
White’s Semi-Dress boots were chosen as boots to wear with long length jeans. The leather products are made and made of materials that are perfect for leather goods lovers, and the more you use them, the more you will love them. They are also sturdy and functional and will not wear out in the rain, so we recommend them to anyone who wants to cherish and use their favourite pair of boots for a long time.
SHOP
My White’s Semi-Dress boots were purchased at StompTown in Shibuya. As mentioned in the article, the staff, who know White’s shoes inside out, will fit you exactly to size, so I recommend them to those who are looking for boots that you can love for a long time, as they offer shoes in such a way that you can later become attached to your feet and get used to them.
The shop also stocks Danner and Red Wing shoes in the American style, so you will be able to find shoes and boots to your liking.
There is also an online shop, so those who live far away can also buy from the online shop.
The shop offers fitting services so that you can use your favourite shoes for a long time, so I think you will be more satisfied if you go to the shop and actually have them fitted before you buy them.
