Nicks Americana

Horween Orange Predator

Did a VERY light condition with bick4 just at the bend points as it was looking a bit dry. Satisfied with bick4 on this leather since it’s seems to have not darkened the boot at all.

HNW Last: 7.5E

7.5E is a perfect fit for me. I originally got an 8D but found it too narrow, and didn’t trust the sizing recommendation on the website of 8 for length. Obviously a tough break in period, this is very stiff leather. Pain points are the top of my feet, and where my shin meets the kiltie.

More about this item

I bought this as a birthday gift for myself almost a year prior to my first wear. I really wanted tan waxed flesh, but it was back ordered and the months just kept passing by, so I switched to my second choice leather. These are still incredible boots and the thought of wearing them gets me out of bed in the morning.
