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
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

Late to the Dome
Nicks Ranger in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Atevans77 • April 3, 2026"Firstly I wore these boots a couple weeks before the late entry submissions and entered them into the used boot category for sake of honesty. So a new boot entered a month late into some stiff used boot competition. I wore them in the plumbing trades in Seattle Washington working on concrete and wood structures. Lots of time on ladders and my knees roughing in toilet carriers and shower enclosures. Yard work and general kicking around town on the weekends...."Read the full review
Pre worn category has been excellent, great reason to start using an older pair of boots more
