Slow burn worth the wait for Nicks Parkhurst V2 Thunderdome 2024-2025
Nicks Parkhurst V2 in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy austinrylees • April 3, 2025"I have worn these boots during most of my activities for the past 6 months. I work in a clinic with children and although they get regular use but for 8 out of 12 hours they were mostly indoors...."Read the full review
Tough daily drivers that I looked forward to beating up every day
Viberg Service Boot in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy pesayerm • April 6, 2025"I wore these everywhere during the dome, they were my main boots for 6 months. I wore these in rain, snow, and mud, on the playground with my kids, on long dog walks, hikes, and everything in between. At times these felt a bit too “refined” in certain situations, but overall these were a lot of fun to wear and looked good with just about everything in my wardrobe...."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
Worn for 3 weeks so far and they feel great! Super solid and supportive. The leather is beautiful.

DOME Start
Nicks MTO in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy DocLineman • October 6, 2024"I started wearing these boots for the 24/25 Dome. Starting this Dome I’ve been on storm restoring power to NC and SC after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. It’s been 16+ hour days of trekking through mountain sides and bucket work...."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
Blue Collar Living with Hurricane Effects
Nicks MTO in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy DocLineman • April 1, 2025"I started this dome on storm in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida restoring power to those devastated by both Hurricane Helene and Milton. I’m a huge hunter so I’ve walked through the woods in search of sheds, and locating best the hunting locations. Living on a 400 acre farm also comes with its own challenges and work. From bailing hay, loading wagons, working on equipment to land management. These boots face challenges on all levels yet have cleaned up beautiful enough to wear to church...."Read the full review
Another Dome Done
White's Bounty Hunter in Horween Cinnamon Waxed FleshBy onelastboot • April 8, 2025"Man these things took a minute to get going. I tried to wear them hard especially during the second half of the dome. These boots were worn on a ton of hikes through the Georgia mountains. Wore them to help my friend move a piano down three flights of ice covered stairs (do not recommend with leather soles). They also saw their fair share of skating. Managed to land a few kickflips, Ollie down some stairs, but sadly did not land the elusive tre flip. Overall fantastic boots...."Read the full review
Best boots I've ever worn. Very glad my daughter got these and had me join this competition!
White's MP 55 in Horween Dark Brown Waxed FleshBy wildflowersnboots • April 6, 2025"I have worn these boots as both work boots and casual boots. They have been great in all conditions. From sand dunes to snow to soggy terrain to hiking trails to crossing streams, these boots have been reliable. I've worn them anywhere from a couple times a week to everyday, for an hour or two to 12 hr days. I wore them while traveling for 28 hr stretches twice. They were comfortable and supportive, and not restrictive while traveling. I'm not one to take my shoes off on the road or in the air. I wore them in 90° plus weather, helping my daughter and son inlaw rebuild their porch and a few other home projects. They were fantastic as work boots. Best boots I've owned...."Read the full review
My first PNW boots are a win... Comfy and bombproof.
Nicks Lace Up Heritage in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy polishengineering • April 4, 2025"These have been my weekend warrior work boots. I've worn them to build a new shed, in the woodshop, and for outdoor activities like hikes and play with my kids in the snow...."Read the full review
Rugged, reliable for wet indoor work, quiet!
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • October 7, 2024"I work in a bakery/coffee shop that is medium to fast-paced. The boots see everything from milk to ice and other liquids during the work day, as well as walking my dog and various outdoor activities that are not work-related...."Read the full review
My most reliable and bombproof boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • December 30, 2024"I work in a medium pace cafe with a decent length of days. I get to sit down during my commute to and from work. These fit more underneath slimmer leg'd pants like my N&F jeans in Easy Guy, tech chinos from OldNavy, and a few others. You will stand out if you're wearing a lighter-weight pant with these...."Read the full review
Tough waxed leather that became supple and incredibly comfortable over time!
Truman Cap Toe Boot in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Cellardoor • April 5, 2025"My go-to boot throughout the winter in Denver, Co. They're tough as hell and very waterproof. I work full 8-hour shifts indoor in them too, mostly on my feet all day...."Read the full review
I was inspired to invest in some high quality work boots from watching Nick’s reviews on YouTube
