US Men's Brannock: 10.5D

HNW Last: 10C

Perfectly firm handshake fit without any negative pressure points. The leather feels substantial but supple. The heel gently hugs my heel without any undesired heel slip. The length is perfect with a full thumb width at the tip of my toes.

Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Limited Edition

I saw this come across on a limited edition release in spring of 2025 and thought it was a great natural tone. In seeing how other Predator leather releases had developed patina over a short amount of time I thought this would make a killer boot. …and it hasn’t disappointed.

How did you determine your size?

HNW Last: 10CUS Men's Brannock: 10.5D

I measured my foot multiple times using tracings, circumferential tape, and on a brannock. Additionally, I had previously purchased a 10D HNW Nicks traveler and found it to be a smidge wide which led me to the 10C decision on this pair.

What was the ordering process?

Order was easy to place on Nicks website. Then, just had to sit back and wait.
