Nicks Ranger

Walnut Heavy Duty

View album
RyanAKalmost 2 years ago

Worn - Every Single Working Day - since November of 2016. 10, 12, 16, 20 hour days. Heavy Industrial Construction Management. Amazing comfort and support. This is how a hard-worn pair can look after 7 years when you take care of a quality boot. It’s absolutely time for a resole, but I’m also considering a rebuild. Not because they need it, but because my feet have changed. These are an 8EE. I’m now solidly an 8-1/2EE in a safety toe 55 last. Or keep these an 8EE and ditch the safety toe… Any thoughts or advice? This would be my first rebuild.

These were a perfect fit out of the box in November of 2016. Seven years of wonderful comfort and support. My feet have changed a bit since then and they’ve become a little snug. May be time for a rebuild…
