Palisade
: 14B
11067 Last: 14A
Mini-lug outsole with plain beeswax edge
Up 1/2 size to a 14. Due to a 14.5 HTB Brannock. May 14 HTT, 13.5 Nicks size put the boot arch slightly behind my foot arch. Corrected that with this pair and find the fit more natural.

Nick’s Handmade Boots are heavy. In a good way. Solid all Leather construction. But the restrictions and added weight of 10” boots is excessive for a non-construction site job. Wanted a boot that could put in the work. But not look out of place in casual settings.
I have previously chosen a Nicks size 13.5. My HTT Brannock of 14 and Nicks sizing guide looked right. But the boot arch felt a bit too far back. With my foot being a 14.5 HTB, I ordered these is a 14. The arch and fit are much more natural.
28 Days from order to on feet is unheard of for Nicks Boots. A fire at the Vibram factory delayed Nicks shipment of rubber slip soles. They were not able to build Loggers boots, or any boot needing a Lug outsole. They offered a Quick Ship Sale on V-Bar & Mini-Lug outsole Heritage boots, to keep their production line running full. Minimal choices. No custom options. No price discount. But lightning fast delivery. As first stated; 28 days! For perfectly constructed handmade boots.
