Everything has flown by so fast lately. The finish line for the dome is already upon us. I was amazing developing the patina on these and I'm excited to start on a new pair in the future! Big shout out to my mom for helping take pics almost Every month!

I have wide, lower volume feet, so my feet are over the stitches. It is too tight for me long-term. I will be considering rebuilding to a different width if possible

More about this item

The leather was great! It really took a beating and is still kicking. It really took a shine from just brushing it daily. Conditioned the entire boot once and a few touch ups after that so far.

Why I own this

Custom

Workplace Needs

Style

I needed(/wanted) another, lighter weight, pair for work. I felt the predator orange would be a unique leather in my use case and I saw some other patinas that looked really good!

How I sized

Circumferential Measurements

Compared to Other Lasts

I went with the same size nicks I had on the 55 last due to their recommendations. Didn't know my size before nicks, so I initially paid extra for a try on boot. Due to inexperience and my foot health improving during the wait for nicks, I had to go through a size exchange when got my first boots in.

Talked to the owner of Nicks boots through Reddit about ordering this new pair and making some special changes. It all went pretty smooth and Nicks took care of me very well.
