Nicks Handmade Boots
I've always enjoyed engineer boots and wanted a roughout pair. Originally I was after some Wesco x Ship John boots but after lots of discussion I didn't think they would fit my wide feet and there was not return or exchange possibility with Wesco. I knew my 55 last sizing with Whites so used that same information to order something similar from Nick's.
I measured my feet with both the White's and Nick's sizing guides for the 55 last and knew my sizing already with White's. My brannock is also an 8E close to an 8EE.
I just picked my specs on the Nick's website and waited.
I've worn these for pretty much everything. To work, light hiking, boy scout campouts, and everything in between.
Initially it didn't matter what I did the leather didn't show really any wear at all other than the one dark mark on the toe from where my dog licked them. The leather was soft and easy to break in and I only brushed them with a horse hair brush. Before final pictures I put a bit of pecards on the edges of the soles.
