I’ve logged many, many miles chasing quail in these boots with my bird dogs the last 6 months.

My go to have always been cowboy boots, but I have gotten into PNW work boots over the last few years (Nicks). When Nicks came out with their Palouse western boot I had to have a pair.
I sized these the same as all the rest of my Nick’s boots (7.5 E) on a 55 last. If any of my boots have been a little big I just add a spenco insert…it’s worked out perfect.
The wait was brutal (18 months), but Nick’s has been open and honest about the speed bumps they encountered with this release. They even gave all customers who ordered this boot a $150 refund because of the long wait!
