Why I own this

I was itching to give the 67 last a shot, but I just couldn't commit. Then, by some stroke of luck, none of my MTO orders made it in time to kick off the contest. And wouldn't you know it, right when I was feeling stranded, these boots I'd been eyeing dropped in price. It was like the universe was egging me on, daring me to resist. But who am I kidding? When fate throws you a bone like that, you don't say no.

How I sized

Brannock Measurements
Foot Tracing

A foot tracing and bBrannock measurements got me close. However, this was suppose to be half size too small but they ended up fitting perfectly. This pair helped find my correct size in Nick’s boots.

My foot tracing and Brannock measurements brought me within striking distance. These boots fell just half a step short, but lo and behold, when they finally landed on my doorstep, they embraced my feet like old friends reunited.

I snatched them up from Nick's Boots' website, sifting through their Ready to Ship section during a sale. A week later, they landed on my doorstep. In-person, the leather looked even more stunning than expected—a pleasant twist of fate.

Physical Work

These boots have seen it all - the grind of home office days to the escapades of work trips and vacations. They've braved the chaos of DIY projects and the meticulous craft of woodworking projects. But the true test? The day they supported me as I welcomed my firstborn into the world. These boots hold memories I'll treasure forever.

Color Change

Month after month, this leather just kept getting better. The color deepened, the wrinkles added texture in all the right spots, and it stretched snugly around me like it was tailor-made. And the best part? A quick brush and they looked brand new.

Satisfied with the Fit

These boots? They're a damn dream to walk in. My foot and the boot, they've melded into one. I never thought I'd go for a high arch, high-heeled boot, but now I'm seeing a whole new future full of them. The arch support? Phenomenal. And those heels? They give me a whole new level of height. As for my toes? They've got all the wiggle room they could ever need.

The Beccas? They're eye candy, plain and simple. I'm get compliments left and right. And wouldn't you know it, after I snagged this pair, my wife couldn't resist getting her hands on her own, with a different leather, of course? Craftsmanship? Impeccable. These boots? They've held up like champs. Plus, with the patina they've developed, they're better than brand new.

Sole & heel

Traction

Design

The Vibram 269 sole is never a sole I would've considered before. I always associated it with cowboy boots, but now? It's my go-to favorite. Grippy, squishy, and low-profile—it's got it all.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

I'm head over heels for these boots, and I'd shout it from the rooftops. The steal I got them for? Makes me feel like I pulled off the heist of the century from Nicks. And if you've got a wife, mom, sister—get them a pair, trust me, they'll thank you for it.
