I was in need of a solid pair of boots that were water proof, and up for a variety of tough jobs.
I had never experienced the 55 last, and was not disappointed.
It was like being a kid in a candy shop with all of the options!
These boots have been caked in mud, kicking a shovels, soaked through and through while repairing water main breaks. They’ve been used to rehab a water filter, from soup to nuts. They’ve been snow plowing, repairing chemical feed pumps, and performing lab work.
These boots were a bear to break in. Once they were broken-in, they were like an extension of myself. As for my care routine, I tried to brush them once a week and used some smiths leather balm when the seemed dry. Which gave them a nice reddish orange hue. They’re so tough they’ve held up like no other boot I’ve owed has, and come out looking good after a cleaning.
I feel as though the 55 last immediately helped my posture helping me stand a little taller. These boot feel like a part of my foot when I wear them. I’ve gone back to my old boots to take the competition photos and it was like wearing sloppy slippers. I sized following Nicks recommendations and they’ve been a dream.
I love the design of these boots! Nicks builder pro is a great all around boot. Great attention to detail, and built to last.
Great! Aggressive tread, that’s confidence inspiring whether in the ditch, or on concrete.
I want to start by saying Nicks is a great boot company that not only makes one hell of a product while keeping the customer in mind. I had a couple of last minute changes made to my order and was met with utmost professionalism, and care. As for the boots!, I can’t say enough. With the comfort and durability of these boot,I can tell they will be by my side for many years to come.
