Default Whites Boots

Hand made in Spokane Washington and can be sent back time after time to rebuild! I have had my logger smoke jumpers for over 10 years and their still in fair shape! I would recommend the packer for riding. Hands down my favorite all time boots.

I'd get option #1. I always liked the tall boots. I even had some in the 70s.

If it was me and I had the opportunity to do so, I'd try them both on and see which one felt the best to me and then I'd buy it.

I have a few pair. Double H engineer boots that I like a lot. An old pair of HD boots that were still made in USA. Newer ones suck IMO and all made overseas. My favorites are the Chippewa Rally boots I picked up at Fox Creek. True to size so no worries there plus they have free shipping.

I have a pair of 17" Wesco's that I really like. If you have the time and money you can have Wesco custom make anything you want. U.S. made also.
