Nicks DomePro

I was looking for a boot that would fit more of a work/casual hybrid model in a tan/natural roughout leather. Nick's advertisement of the DomePro edition, with fast turnaround times and (if I remember) sale prices lead me to order them.

Measured using Nick's sizing guide, read sizing information on a couple of Reddit feeds. Ultimately, the best advice was simple: size down 1/2 size from tennis shoes and don't overthink it.

Order was easy. Customer service was very helpful when I decided to change lasts after I placed the order. Because of that change from HNW to 55 last, the heel height came higher than I wanted (I wanted the moderate/same as HNW). Nick's customer service was again very helpful to get the heel changed and shipped back to me very promptly. In retrospect, a mini-lug sole would have been a better fit for my needs. I'm not sure I would have chosen this outsole if it were an option when ordering, but only full lug options were presented in the ordering process. I didn't even consider mini-lugs or V-bar soles were possible, though I'm sure Nick's would have accommodated a request for one, if I had contacted them about it.
