More about this item

Even though Ticho hates wedge soles, I think he'll like how these look after some miles in the orchard - and there will be many hotdogs along the way.

The black chromexcel is so classic, and the tan backstay and pull tab adds that attitude I couldn't resist. The wedge sole is so damn comfy and I knew it would be a good daily driver. When it came up for sale on the Ready to Ship page I jumped! I never expected to use these as my dome boots, mostly because I didn't think black would be very good at building patina. Boy was I wrong! Cxl black is extremely resilient. These have been through hell and all it takes is a minute with an exfoliating nylon brush and a horsehair buff. This leather is awesome!

I ordered an F width as a reaction to every one of my other boots being too snug. Everyone said I should be an E or EE, but in my experience those are too narrow and always hurt my feet. (I have 3 pairs of nicks in EE and they just don't stretch like I hoped). These boots were the answer! They were pretty sloppy until I broke them in and now I'm so glad I ordered wider. Also, I use the Nicks Spenco insoles which are low volume and very comfy - highly recommend. I'm convinced that wider is better and now I actually order FF width. Honestly I'm shocked at how good these fit now. They're a dream to put on and wear all day!

Countless sleepless nights scrolling Nicks website and when these came up was so stoked! Pulled the trigger, no regrets. I LOVE how Nicks has so many Ready to Ship options. I check this page 5-10 times per day everyday... No shame
