Blue Collar Living with Hurricane Effects
Nicks MTO in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy DocLineman • April 1, 2025"I started this dome on storm in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida restoring power to those devastated by both Hurricane Helene and Milton. I’m a huge hunter so I’ve walked through the woods in search of sheds, and locating best the hunting locations. Living on a 400 acre farm also comes with its own challenges and work. From bailing hay, loading wagons, working on equipment to land management. These boots face challenges on all levels yet have cleaned up beautiful enough to wear to church...."Read the full review

Unexpected transformation, effortless versatility, and a patina that tells the story.
Nicks MTO in Horween Natural PredatorBy unknown • April 5, 2026"For the past five months, my Next Predator Natural MTO have been my daily drivers. I’ve worn them through just about every aspect of my life. From long, physical workdays, in professional meeting environments, and on out-of-state work trips. They’ve been with me on the sidelines watching my kids play soccer, on my feet when I found out my mom had cancer, out on hikes when I needed some fresh air, and after a little brushing - on date nights with the love of my life...."Read the full review

Boots chosen at random, worn with purpose.
Nicks MTO in Law Tanning Black Smooth Shruken Bison & Wicket & Craig Double Stuffed WalnutBy Particlepartition • April 3, 2026"I am finishing my apprenticeship to become an electrician this year. These boots have been on the largest project I've ever been a part of.
They've seen miles of crawling through service tunnels under a church, time spent in the bell tower, up and down scaffolding, bent thousands of feet of conduit, hours in scissor lifts 30 feet in the air, and tons of kicking myself for my mistakes. They've taken it all in stride and have been a wonderful constant in my work life..."Read the full review

Another winner from Nick's
Nicks MTO in Spokane Honey & Spokane Honey Waxed FleshBy JY • April 4, 2026"I wore these boots for everything. Simplicity is my favorite part of the dome. Traveling, no need to pack shoes, already wearing the boots. Getting ready, boots are sitting where I took them off, it's great. I traveled and hiked on three continents, in rain shine and snow. I wore them for basically everything from dancing on NYE to conductingairborne OPs...."Read the full review
