Amazing boots from an amazing Indian shoemaker
BLKBRD Rudiger Service Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy SkoBuffs23 • April 5, 2024"I wore my boots out on adventures with my wife and dog hiking. I also wore them into the office and any time there wasn’t snow or ice. Unfortunately we had a bad winter in Colorado so I wasn’t able to wear them more...."Read the full review
My experience with the Nicks ND3 and my first dome
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy john_k • April 6, 2025"These boots have been my go to work boot for my job in a grocery store. I've used the boots four days a week covering around 9 miles a day on concrete floors, unloading deliveries stacking shelves and even shoveling snow during winter snowstorms...."Read the full review
The best daily boot that didn't fit...
Viberg Service Boot BCT in Maryam Port 1071 HorsebuttBy timelesstough • April 6, 2024"My boots have been with me 3-5 days a week through everything. They've been with me through office work, yard work, the delivery of my fifth child, and the death of my dog.
I often struggle to find boots that I can both wear to the office and running late night errands in sweatpants. These boots fit the bill...."Read the full review
Just love my hand-made Service Boot in Horsebutt, and watching the character develop every day.
Al's Attire Hand Made Type 1 Service Boot in Horween Brown Chromexcel HorsehideBy LeeRoss • April 1, 2025"These boots have been with me through everything—from the desk to the dirt. They’ve worked as hard as I have—and earned every bit of character along the way...."Read the full review
How do I put in the headline? Anyway...I wore these as my weekenders and daily evenings.
Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot in Horween Natural ChromexcelBy twigglekitty73 • April 2, 2024"I wore them as often as I could. Mostly to walk the dog on concrete sidewalks. I work construction during the day, so they were weekend and evening boots. They weren't made for winter, so I gave them a rest on as now and slushy days...."Read the full review
A Journey with my Perfect Pair
Nicks Becca in Horween Natural DublinBy sawdustandstitch • April 5, 2024"These boots have seen it all - the grind of home office days to the escapades of work trips and vacations. They've braved the chaos of DIY projects and the meticulous craft of woodworking projects. But the true test? The day they supported me as I welcomed my firstborn into the world. These boots hold memories I'll treasure forever...."Read the full review
Get what you want, not what you think you should get
Nicks StationMaster in Horween Black ChromexcelBy SKopp • April 1, 2025"I exclusively wore these when i wasn't working. Unfortunately i had a lot of car troubles and had to save up to replace it so i only left the house when i had too, so i never got as many miles as i would have hoped on these. Mostly grocery shopping, family gatherings, and short walks in the neighborhood..."Read the full review
These boots were deceptively comfortable right out the gate and always improved.
Nicks DomePro in Horween British Tan ChromexcelBy PLopez578 • April 5, 2024"Unfortunately not as much as I would have liked as I have to wear different foot wear for work. So some office work. Recreational time and light work around the house...."Read the full review
Halfway broken in!
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • March 22, 2025"These are my daily boots, mainly at work where anything from bleach to carrot cake can end up on them. I manage a bakery/Coffee shop and spend most of my time on bar or making items. The snow in my area often didn't cause any issues with these, they are essentially water resistant with all the wax. They have gone on many dog walks and wooded trails near my home...."Read the full review
These puppies were stiff and painful for too long. Now, they are like a comfy pair of socks.
Viberg Hiker in Horween Natural DublinBy Das_Bones • April 4, 2024"At the 3 month mark, I could finally start putting miles on these boots. They truly can be, and at least in my case, are now real hiking boots. 30+ miles a week for the last 2 months, holding up against my river adjacent, multi-terrain, trail blazing. Durability-wise, I am very impressed. I have much experience tearing through hiking boots, and these things put to shame some of the best cemented hikers on the market (I won't name names...) The Hiker just keeps pushing, and the Commando soles are straight beasts!..."Read the full review
1st but definitely not my last Patina Thunder dome.
Nicks MTO in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy JY • April 5, 2025"I wore these boots everyday for everything I did. From conducting airborne operations to dancing at the club on NYE. I moved from the US to Europe, and visited a fistful of new countries. I went to Tiesto, Nicki Minaj, and Vivaldi concerts. I explored, hiked, hunted, went to the field and to the range, jumped out of airplanes then brushed them off and went out for dinner and drinks. I wore them every day for everything except running and the gym, although at least once I did squat in them because I forgot my lifting shoes..."Read the full review
Overall, these have been served me well for their intended purpose aside from the last and my feet
Nicks MTO in Horween Orange PredatorBy ImaGoat • April 6, 2024"Almost exclusively used during my work in a refinery 5 days a week. I let them rest on weekends. Lots of climbing around in the pipe racks, going up and down ladders and stairs, etc...."Read the full review
