I bought two pairs of these in December of 2014 brand new directly from White's to use as fire fighter station/duty boots, instead of zip ups or Romeo's.  They are not hard/safety toe.  The first pair still looks and wears like new so this pair has never seen daylight until today, so I guess I really did not need two pairs - its time for these to go to someone else who would like to use them.  I believe 2014 was before White's was bought out, and I'm not sure how they compare to the White's Nomad side by side (they look identical to the Nomad on the White's website), but these are very nice boots.  

The boots come from a smoke and pet free home, will ship with original White's box(es).  I ship typically next day USPS priority mail to conUS.
