Got these back in July and parked them in the closet until the dome. I own a few pairs of nicks and I have to say so far these are my favorite. I know chromexcel isn't considered a work leather buuuuuuttt I really wanted to see how they would do as an everyday boot for residential plumbing. I love the height of these and I love the British Tan.

Workplace Needs
I've wanted a tall pair of shiny boots since I've been into boots and the work dome was a good excuse. I work in residential plumbing and I have boots more technically suited to that but I wanted to scratch an itch. Went with the mini lug for the oil resistance and it is much less offensive to customers floors. Insulated them as well because the dome is a winter project and it gets cold where I live.
How I sized

Brannock Measurements
I already had a few pairs of nicks on the HNW so I have my sizing pretty dialed in with Nicks.
