Worn at work 5 days a week over the last 6 months. Rain, snow, salt, and mud.

Durability

Extremely impressed with the leather. After 6 months of winter conditions the leather looks like it will last for another 6 years. Not the best for patina.

Satisfied with the Fit

Excellent fit. First 3 weeks thought maybe should have gone one size wider. Knew that once they broke in they would be fine. Now they fit absolutely perfect.

Stitching

Top notch all the way around. All stitching holding up. Everything about the build of the boot is perfect.

Sole & heel

Great for all conditions. I do wear the outside of the heel quickly. But that is no difference than any other V100.

Block HeelWorn for less than a day, current heel

Not much of a notable difference between the block heel and the logger heel.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

After 22 years of wearing Whites. My first experience with Nicks has been great in every way. Leather is holding up a little better than I expected. Fit and finish of the boots is perfect. I don’t see any reason these won’t last as long as my Whites have lasted.
