California’s Railcar Fine Goods has teamed up with Washington’s finest, White’s Boots, to craft some serious stompers: the Railcar x Whites 55 Collab boots.
Railcar’s founder and these boots’ designer, Steven Dang, takes his years spent as lead mechanic for the Los Angeles Metro, and the understanding of the need for true workwear as a starting point for all his designs, and these boots are no exception. To make these boots exactly how he wanted, Steven knew that White’s was the boot maker for the job; they’ve been handmaking and hand-lasting boots in the Pacific Northwest for over 150 years.
These Collab Boots are painstakingly crafted from a black oil tan leather layered with a handsome brown edge midsole and a cream Vibram #2060 wedge sole. Look more closely and you’ll see some other amazing details: gun metal brass eyelets, single stitching across the boot, and a cushion insole. This is all built up around White’s 55 last that was developed over 90 years ago without any change, mostly because they’re easy to wear in for those working on their feet all day. Resoleable and rebuildable, these boots are sure to last a lifetime — really nothing to be messed with.
Available exclusively for $750 from Railcar Fine Goods.
