First Dome W&C

Great pair of boots. Now that spring is here, I’ll be rotating into my less winter facing boots. It’s time. These boots took everything I threw at them. Miles of walking, working on the truck, yard work, massive amounts of salt, trapsing into work through multiple feet of snow, etc. They shook it off and didn’t skip a beat. Nick’s makes a solid boot and these have earned their spot in my long term rotation. Ultimately the judges will decide how they did in the dome, but they won it all in my eyes. Best of luck to everyone, and my 2026 dome boots just went into production. See you at the next one

More about this item

Sole stitching is best I’ve gotten. Wanted to try a darker color W&C in the dome with a tread that would survive winter.

Wanted a winter boot for the dome in W&C. Lots of snow where I am, so lug sole is required. Chose a slate as I wanted something unique. These should clear a metal detector, which matters for me at work.

Previous sizing with Nicks. Went up to EE for something more relaxed. Probably won’t use the as work boots, more just general use.

Online store. Website is getting better, but still not a live configurator. Overall pretty easy
