The Alaskan tanker saga continues
Nicks TankerPro in Nicks/Seidel 1964 Ash Gray RoughoutBy Theakkid • April 3, 2025"-25⁰F. Constant exposure to snow. Work and daily life in Alaska exposed these boots to a ton of adverse conditions through the thunderdome. In and out of doors these boots saw snow plowing, snowmobiliing, welding, mechanicing, chores, shoveling snow, Costco runs, and a myriad of other things...."Read the full review

Chonky, comfortable, go anywhere, do anything boots.
Nicks Free Range in Horween Black Teacore ChromexcelBy cows_electronico • April 5, 2025"I have worn them almost every day for six months. The first day of wear included their first of several multi-hour hour airplane rides - they even made it unscathed on foot through the precheck security screening. I wore them to business casual meetings. I walked about 4 city miles every day and they loved pavement pounding. I pulled my kiddo through many museums in them. They were great in the rain and decent in the snow - though different soles would be better on ice. They were perfect hiking in the woods. They scrambled well on rocks. They were surprisingly good boots for snowshoeing. I had better than expected ball control kicking around a soccer ball in them.
There were very few occasions where I did not want to wear them. Once on foot, these chonky boys were wonderful. These boots were made for walkin, and that's just what they did...."Read the full review

Heavy duty all year comfort. A timeless design that looks good on the job site or out on the town.

Not bad. I wish the tongue was a little taller. I'll be keeping these for sure.
Nicks Robert in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy Monkley • April 1, 2024"I work in a factory that produces electronic components. I've been transitioning off of the production floor and into a more (but not completely) office oriented role.
These have seen the usual desk patina, but also have been exposed to drops of acetone and other solvents, some dilute acid, and etching solutions.
There's also been some manual labor, but not very intense - occasionally crawling around to work on equipment.
I've used them on some short walks, but nothing significant enough to warrant the word "hike."
I didn't like the way the edges were wearing part way through, so I lightly sanded the finish off and refinished them myself. I much prefer this look now...."Read the full review
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

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
