Nicks Ridgeline Hiking Boot

Plenty of space for my toes. Instep was tight when first getting on boots but once their in it was fine. Heel was very stiff at the start. Blisters on heels after 5 miles of walking/hiking.

Was looking for a heavy duty hiking boot to last me years and years. Im used to 8" boot for work and opted for 8" in these as opposed to the original 5" they come.

Circumferential Measurements

Measured the feet at instep, ball and so forth and used the Nicks sizing chart to determine size. One foot is a little bigger but I went ahead and sized for smaller of the two.

Order Delayed

Online Store

Ordering was easy. Ended up waiting 6 months for them. I changed leather because of a shortage of the Walnut towards the end. Then, that leather had a shortage long enough that the original Walnut is wanted was available again so I switched back. Probably close to 2 month delay because of that.
