My first pair of engineers in a Nick's and Murawski collab.
Nicks Pullman in Horween Black Waxed FleshBy Spoon • April 5, 2025"These were mostly subjected to office work, no real intensive testing took place at the test track to subject these boots to more of the elements.
These boots were also worn to events with family and friends (i.e. Oriole's playoff game, holiday gatherings, etc.)..."Read the full review
Long, cold days in my tacticals.
Nicks Tactical in Seidel WeatherShield Black SmoothBy WhileyRasqual • April 4, 2024"Strictly work boots. 6 days a week for the first half of the dome, 5 day work weeks for the 2nd half of the dome. These boots have taken me through 10 hour shifts in -35° weather, a handful of severe winter storms, and almost 1200 miles of walking...."Read the full review
There's no question. These are my outdoor boots for the foreseeable future. I love these boots.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy ProletariatPrince • April 5, 2025"I wore these every other day for the dome, plus some extra days when I knew I'd be working outside. I didn't shy away from rain, snow, mud, or anything. I just put them on and went out, and they took everything I could throw at them.
I even wore them through the airport and on the plane.
I did a lot of walking in these boots. They are, in fact, the most comfortable boots I have for walking. 8-10 miles in a day was no problem at all.
After they broke in some I had no trouble squatting or kneeling in them, though after a while of squatting, it does feel tight across the instep. But that's true for any boots.
Standing on ladders was never a problem, climbing skinny scaffold and tower ladders was never a problem. I never felt unsure of my footing.
I travel a lot, so I wore them in cold, wet, hot, dry, every condition from Florida to West Texas, to Seattle, to Brooklyn, to Missouri and everywhere in between. I never had any issues with wet feet or discomfort...."Read the full review
A "soft toe" from Nicks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review

Nicks Wellington in 1964 MonarchBy Boots • April 6, 2026"Work in manufacturing and get a minimum of 8k steps in 5 days per week.
