They are my daily work boots and the work varies. I have spent weeks on ladders, other times climbing in and around equipment. I have walked on snow covered roofs. I have been on my hands and knees crawling inside equipment. And some days I just sit at a desk using a laptop.

Leather

Nicks Walnut Bullhide
Durability

The Bullhide held up exceptionally well, it wears like iron. It shrugs off small nicks and scratches with ease. Break-in was completed after 2 months without any major issues. I've brushed them off a handful of times with a stiff brush.

Satisfied with the Fit

These are the first 55 last I have had. It took some getting used to. At times there is pressure on the instep of my left foot but overall the sizing is spot on. The Bullhide leather provides excellent support.

Craftsmanship

Durability
Stitching

The construction and finishing is top notch. After 6 months of daily wear, there are no construction deficiencies.

Sole & heel

Traction
Comfort
Durability

I have never had an issue with traction. The lug sole does track in debris much to my wife's chagrin. The soles look almost like they did when brand new, super durable!

Final thoughts

My Nicks Builder Pro HDs have been with me day in and day out. They have provided me support and protection. The Bullhide leather has exceeded my expectations in durability and appearance.
