Is Dublin suited for work???
Nicks Builder Pro, MTO in Horween Natural DublinBy ShnyHntr91 • December 5, 2024"This pair of MTO Nicks Builder Pro's started their journey traveling up and down the eastern half of the United States. First, the one two punch of Helene and Milton. Then, straight back home to regular work in Jersey, pulling wire for a reconductor. Then, moved an hour inland to work on some 12kv feeder tie points outside of a substation.
Winter has quickly become more turbulent with drastic high and low temp swings that could bring in multiple storm systems. It shall be a long winter and rest of the Dome for these boots..."Read the full review
I think I have found my new favorite last. The 2040.
Viberg Service Boot PCT in Horween Golden Brown Predator RoughoutBy have.boots.will.travel • December 29, 2024"Though initially I had some heel pain and had to wear some heel protectors for a week or two, that was mostly due to my own anatomy than the boots themselves. (I have some weird bony knobs on the backs of my heels ㅠㅠ) I’ve worn these daily, which mostly consists of city and office wear. I plan to take these on some hikes as soon as I find the time...."Read the full review
Plain Brown Boots Go with Anything
Nicks Robert in Horween Brown ChromexcelBy pasghetti_western • December 28, 2024"These have been my main pair since the start of the dome. Have been trying to give them some rest days here and there, but I’ve been wearing them pretty much nonstop. I’ve flown across the country with these things, opened a few medical clinics, done a bunch of physical work, and hiked a ton. They’ve been brushed up and dressed up, been through many job sites, been out on the town. If I can wear brown boots to something, these are going on my feet...."Read the full review

My grail boots
Viberg Service Boot PCT in Horween Marine Field RoughoutBy Denman_John • December 2, 2024"I have been busy breaking these boots in as I plan on taking them to Nepal at the beginning of December. A lot of trail walking and wearing them into town - very versatile. I try to keep them clean but I know that they will patina …..."Read the full review
They Live Up to the Hype
Nicks Lace Up Heritage in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy polishengineering • December 29, 2024"These are my work boots. I do a lot of projects around the house, and I am a hobbyist woodworker. I needed boots that could go from landscaping to indoor construction to the woodshop without issue.
They have primarily been used to build a new shed in my backyard from the foundation up and have done the work with acclaim. Slamming shovels, kicking framing, gripping roofing, zero complaints...."Read the full review
Zero regrets. These are a great hiker/work boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy ProletariatPrince • December 29, 2024"I have worn these from Florida to Missouri to Washington to New England. They never fail to perform.
The recent very cold weather in Washington want great, but I didn't really feel like I needed insulation. Standing outside in 30degree weather for six hours wasn't entirely unpleasant. I wonder if the lace to toe double vamp helped with that.
Rain, snow, heat, nothing is uncomfortable...."Read the full review
Unboxing review: can't get higher end than this for hikers

Everyday Life Boots. From work to the gym. From around the house to out and about.
Frank's Monkey Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy Thomas_Steed_ • December 26, 2024"They have miles of walking. Hours of work in both offices and throwing freight in a grocery warehouse. They have been on discgolf courses, and in the gym while I'm doing my strength training. Literally everyday life in all aspects...."Read the full review

Some squish, please!
Frank's Ranier in Seidel Chocolate Oil Tan RoughoutBy Hayduke • December 6, 2024"I have mainly worn them around work on concrete floors and around town doing errands. I wore them to the shooting range, which was nice. It was good to have a solid footing while shooting. My job requires heavy lifting and lots of steps on concrete. The 2021 wedge sole seemed a bit hard at first, but I'm liking it more and more. The extra squish versus my Patriots is nice...."Read the full review
