Nicks TankerPro

Nicks/Seidel 1964 Ash Gray Roughout
Theakkid

The Alaskan tanker saga continues

Final thoughts? Absolute satisfaction. I actually have a third pair of tankers en route to me right now. Nick's is an outstanding and honorable company. They are hands down my favorite boot makers and the TankerPro suites me, my lifestyle and needs the best of any boot I've ever worn by an astronomical margin.

I would highly recommend these boots. The tanker is tremendously versatile and needs more recognition. Nick's execution is top tier. I'm very happy to have these in my lineup.

Why I own this

Workplace Needs

This is my second pair of TankerPro's from Nick's. I learned from the first pair that, once broken in properly, they can function like a slip-on, but unlike a slip-on, still have a means of being secured. Since I fulfill a very multifaceted role at my job, this multifunctional type boot serves me better than any other style I've worn. When I'm operating equipment, driving a dump truck, mechanicing, welding, or just fiddling around the shop, the tanker functions as a slip-on and often goes many consecutive days without me cinching any straps. But because there are straps, anytime I'm felling trees, walking raw land to plot out project parameters, or doing anything where having my boot secured is important, I still have that option without having to keep a second pair of boots with me. I've also come to love the overall feel of the tanker. It has a much more forgiving and comfortable fit through the front face, especially when squatted down, while still managing to have a secure fit when cinched. The standout features of this second pair would be the new Nick's MaxWedge and the 1964 ash gray leather. I was very happy to see Nick's add a gray option to their lineup because I already wear a lot of gray for work for how well it doesn't show being dirty. The MaxWedge looks like it could be the perfect combination of comfort and durability I'm looking for. I love how much lighter the MaxWedge is compared to a traditional heel stack. Between the lightness and cushioning, I've been able to move around much more nimbly than I could with the traditional heel. While I bought this primarily for work, I expect it, like the first pair, will infiltrate much of my personal life as well.

Ordered during Nick's overstock sale in May. Received less than a month later. This was my third pair of Nick's, and it felt super weird to receive them this quickly. The ordering process was as smooth as usual.
