WHITE'S X MANSWAY · English Story
The Classic NORTH WEST, Recast as an Oxford
Originally, “NORTH WEST” referred to the name of the last itself.
In Japan, however, it gradually became recognized as a complete model name in its own right.
Compared with many other White's Boots lasts, one of the defining traits of the
NORTH WEST is its more moderate Arch-Ease support. The lower arch profile gives
the shoe a steadier, more natural feel underfoot, making it especially approachable
for wearers with lower arches or flatter feet.
The NORTH WEST OXFORD is not simply a shorter boot. It is a cleaner and more versatile
expression of WHITE'S heritage, shaped for everyday wear while keeping the spirit of
traditional American bootmaking intact.
It is not a 6-inch boot. It is a true classic in a cleaner Oxford form.
Through its long-term partnership with WHITE'S, MANSWAY continues to value styles
that stand the test of time through comfort, balance, craftsmanship, and character.
