Nicks Tactical

Seidel WeatherShield Black
WhileyRasqual

Long, cold days in my tacticals.

I love these boots but they didn't work great for their intended purpose of a solid winter work boot. I think Nick's makes a great product and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair when the time comes. If anyone from the company is reading this I hope you acknowledge not just the praise, but also the critiques I offer and use them to further improve your wares.

Way more comfortable and easy to fit the boot on now that it's a bit wider

I wanted to build a winter specific boot. I work outside all year and the winters here have been killing me. The 360° stitchdown, silicone tanned hide, and insulated options all ticked boxes for me. There's a dress code at work, so I could choose black or brown and black had a shorter lead time when I ordered so here we are.

Foot Tracing

I shot from the hip and ordered what I usually get in WESCO sizing from the foot tracing I've sent them.

Ordering process

Purchased from Nicks Handmade Boots

Ordering this pair was a bit of a bummer. I had asked about both a tanker 360° and a lace to toe 360° and was answered no to either option. I went ahead and ordered the boots I have now.
