Built to Last, Born to Age: A six month patina report on the Nicks Falcons

I set my own rules and they were simple. If I stepped foot out of the house, the boots went with me. And other than being down 3 days from the flu, my Nicks Falcons were worn, Every. Single. Day. No exceptions. Work: Undercover Law Enforcement Total Steps: 1.1 Million Total Miles: 596 The first month break in was a bit of a challenge. But by the end of month 2 they really began to losen up. Month 4 was when we hit that transformation. Like a butterfly coming out of its cacoon. The dark rich colors began to form and every week the ebb and flow from light to dark was drastic. Month 6 was a real treat. That glove like feel that everyone talks about. That peak fit where you can bend in any direction and the boot is no longer pushing back on you. Obsessive overbrushing may have occurred, but never over conditioned. Several cuts, scrapes, and abbrasions along the way. But, a few light applications of Nicks wax was all that was needed. Built to last is an understatement. Hard wear, resole, and repeat. That is what these are designed for. Thinking I was ready to finally wear a different pair of boots today I threw on some redwings that I had resoled. Instant regret, as my feet longed for my trusty Nicks Falcons. My Nicks are apart of me now and I cannot wait for a resole. I will cherish them for the rest of my life. Thanks for an awesome experience!
