Americana

The boot represents Nicks' approach to the classic service boot style, maintaining the company's reputation for handmade quality while offering a more accessible entry point into their product line. As part of the established Pacific Northwest regional tradition of rugged bootmaking, Nicks crafts the Americana alongside other notable makers such as Wesco and White's Boots.

The Americana features thick 6.5-ounce USA-tanned leather construction throughout, selected for durability and long-term wear characteristics. All hardware consists of solid brass components, providing both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. The boot employs a Vibram 430 sole, known for its balance of traction and longevity in various conditions.

Construction follows traditional handmade methods in Spokane, Washington, with each boot built using rebuildable and resolable techniques. This approach allows for multiple resoling cycles throughout the boot's lifespan, extending usability well beyond typical footwear. The manufacturing process reflects Nicks' established Pacific Northwest heritage, designed to withstand demanding environments including flames and rough terrain.

Built on the HNW Last, the Americana provides moderate arch support with a standard toe shape configuration. The boot measures 6 inches in height and features a classic rounded toe profile, maintaining traditional service boot proportions. Available leather options include predator orange, brown, black, and brown waxed flesh finishes.

The design draws directly from classic service boot styling, intended to provide what the company describes as a timeless appearance. Construction specifications include the same last and heel height as Nicks' Falcon boot, ensuring consistent fit characteristics across related models. Size availability ranges from 4.0 to 15.0, with width options spanning from B (narrow) to FF (extra wide).

The base Americana retails for $674.00 through Nicks' direct sales channels. Additional customization includes optional Delta Arch Insert compatibility for $60, allowing users to modify arch support characteristics. The boot's design accommodates Nicks' broader customization system, including multiple last options for varied arch profiles.

Sizing recommendations suggest selecting one-half size down from standard Brannock measurements, following typical heritage boot fitting practices. The HNW Last designation indicates moderate arch support with standard toe shaping, though alternative lasts remain available for specialized fit requirements. Multiple width options support customers requiring accommodation beyond standard D-width configurations.
