Overview
Standard issue to US Army and Air Force soldiers and airmen at the start of World War 2, low service boots are an American icon.
Handbuilt from start to finish, White's MP rendition of this classic is hand sewn, hand lasted, and hand bottomed. Norwegian-welted by hand for ultimate comfort and quality by artisan craftsman, MP Service Boots are rebuildable and resole-able for a lifetime of service. Built on a Barrie dress shoe last using a leather shank and midsole, they provide excellent support and conform to your feet.
The Waxed Flesh TAD edition features triple-needle toe cap stitching, oxide eyelets, and TAD logo on the outside quarter on both boots.
**The MP Service Boot is available in half-size increments from 5 through 11.5, and whole sizes 12 and 13, in B, C, D and EE widths. After purchasing you will receive instructions on how to measure your feet. Our Customer Experience team will use these measurements to help you determine your size. Since White's boots run a little large, customers usually select 1/2 size shorter than their normally purchased boot size.**

Timeless Heritage
White’s Boots was founded in Virginia over 150 years ago. Early in the 20th century they moved to Spokane, Washington. Over their history, White’s has earned their place as a hallmark of American industry, crafting legendary boots for demanding users such as loggers and wildland firefighters.
Built to Endure
The MP Service Boot is truly handmade: hand sewn, hand lasted, hand welted, and with hand bottomed construction.
Hand Welted
A handstitched Norwegian welt ensures that the MP Service Boot will be easily resoleable for a long life. In addition to replacing worn-out outsoles, White’s also offers a service to replace insoles, midsoles, heels, toe leather, and reshape arches. A pair of White’s boots is an investment for a lifetime.
TAD Edition
The true double vamp of the MP Service Boot provides support, weather-protection, and stoutness. Unique to the TAD Edition is the triple needle stitching on the toe cap.
Commando Sole
The MP Service Boot features a Commando sole. Invented in 1935 by Vitale Bramante after the loss of his friends due to a tragic climbing accident, the Commando sole is now synonymous with traction on high-quality work and outdoor footwear. Bramante went on to found the company Vibram based on the success of the Commando lug pattern.
Arch Ease
Built on White’s Barrie last and utilizing their Arch Ease™ technology, the MP Service Boot cradles your foot for all-day comfort.
After placing your order, we will send you instructions on how to submit your sizing information. Our Customer Experience team will work with each customer to determine their size. Since White's boots run a little large, customers usually select 1/2 size shorter than their normally purchased boot size.
