First Dome W&C
Nicks Urban Drifter in Wickett & Craig Slate Double StuffedBy Stuville77 • April 6, 2026"Biggest worry for every ‘dome is salt. So much salt in the Lake Effect snow bands. Faithfully wore through the worst of it. Wet rag to remove the worst and a solid brushing...."Read the full review
Consider me a full-on engineer convert: 5 pairs of over-the-calf socks were THE game-changer.
Nicks Pullman in Wickett & Craig Cobalt Double Stuffed RoughoutBy jononono • April 6, 2026"These are good, ol fashioned every day sh*t kickers. I’d throw them every day; any time I had to run out the door. From full days of work, to dog-walks, to brewery date-nights, these did it all...."Read the full review

Gets better with every wear
Nicks Nicks X Parkhurst V3 in Horween Cypress 8By unknown • April 5, 2026"I work in an office, which is where these were with me everyday. I also used them for choring around the house. Whether it’s pulling attic fans out of old houses, or braving a winter storm to cut frozen trees away from the house. These were on my feet.
I brush them up for the office on Monday, but otherwise, they do everything. They’ll be with me on a multi-day hike at the Grand Canyon next week.
They’re great, they do exactly what they’re built to do. Nothing more nothing less...."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

Patchwork goodness :)
Nicks Moc Toe in Horween Black Chromexcel & Wickett & Craig Medium Brown Traditional Harness & Wickett & Craig Burgundy Traditional HarnessBy gotmoore • April 3, 2026"I did not wear these all day everyday, I made sure to give them a few days of rest each week and just wore them casually and to work (retail). I didn't expect to get them as best up on the toe as I did but it did bring the teacore of the black CXL through so I'm not gonna complain...."Read the full review
