My most reliable and bombproof boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • December 30, 2024"I work in a medium pace cafe with a decent length of days. I get to sit down during my commute to and from work. These fit more underneath slimmer leg'd pants like my N&F jeans in Easy Guy, tech chinos from OldNavy, and a few others. You will stand out if you're wearing a lighter-weight pant with these...."Read the full review
The thickest boot I have purchased. The waxy leather has a slight red hue to it out of the box.

These have held up even better than expected. The bison leather has been fun to watch patina!

They really live up to the indestructible name
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND1 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy robmagr • April 6, 2026"These have primarily been my work boots, working commercial construction as a plumber and pipe fitter.

My favorite boots by far. I’m a nicks loyalist!
Nicks Lace Up Heritage in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy bootbrodrew • April 6, 2026"Worn for 2 months averaging 12-15 miles a day. A new job requirement for safety toe boots meant they became off work daily driver’s. It’s kind of a blessing in a way, because I have super durable, well worn boots that still look fresh, but are like an old friend...."Read the full review
Pacific Waxed Flesh, LTT Roberts and a mid Atlantic Winter.
Nicks Lace To Toe in Horween Pacific Waxed FleshBy ShnyHntr91 • April 3, 2026"Early on, these Pacific Waxed Flesh, LTT Roberts were a crucial component in clearing out and cleaning up a nasty plot of land behind our house. Enduring ticks and some of the worst poison ivy I have received to date.
Then winter struck. Snow, sleet then a heavy coating of freezing rain, followed by a month of well below freezing temps. Determined to get my steps in, the Roberts and myself pushed through what seemed to be one of the worst winters that I can recollect in a long time.
Finally winter began to break and it was time to begin helping my youngest practice softball. There were no tasks too tall for the mighty PWF LTT's. They only continued asking for more...."Read the full review

Amazingly versatile and durable boots. Great for dress-casual, the office and light hiking.

Recently, I've brought it with me to going exploring around Sydney in summer - mainly the city, but also a bit of hiking in the Blue Mountains...."Read the full review
One week review
By Sober_And_Faded • November 16, 2025"I have used them primarily at work in a hospital. I do a lot of walking and needed something waterproof. The Shackleton brown caught my eye as it has a lot of red in it. I love the color. They match everything. I go for a 1.5 mile walk every day at lunch also. There’s a really nice walking path around the hospital. It goes through the woods. I’ve been wearing my boots to go on those trails.
After one week of wear I am addicted to the heel stack height. They make me about 2” taller and it’s hard to wear normal shoes. Lol..."Read the full review

It's been a pleasure experiencing the break in process of Nicks flagship boot
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 MonarchBy Idale77 • November 2, 2024"I wear these boots for my M-F job in public works. The work I do varies. Some days I'm doing various jobs or projects on my feet on asphalt or concrete. Some days I'm operating machinery or driving a truck. This past month has been very dry and dusty. They get wet occasionally when I'm cleaning equipment, but have not been in the rain yet...."Read the full review
