They’re my daily boots. Nothing too crazy. Work, kids, and walks.
It's the most hassle-free leather l've ever worn. Break in was almost nonexistent, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this: I conditioned these once and brushed them a handful of times over the last 5 months. I was blown away by how easy they were to maintain. I wanted to condition them, but they never dried out and stayed as soft and supple as the day I took them home. Casual amounts of rain and snow had almost zero effect on them. If you've been looking for beautiful, easy-to-maintain leather that you can dress up or down and screams "classic brown boot," this is the one. I saw a bunch of these going through boot production over the last two weeks so l'm interested to see how everyone else's experiences are with this leather.
All my current boots are built on the HNW last so I know it well and feel extremely comfortable in it.
Like with all Nicks boots, construction and durability are second to none. The Falcon has a very classic and sleek(for a PNW boot) design. It’s a beautiful pattern IMO. I did the cutting, shanking, sanding, and finishing. I am very hard on myself to do quality work, so I feel pretty good about this boot.
It’s my favorite some that Nicks offers. It’s minimal with the perfect amount of traction. Extremely durable and easy to break in.
I've spent almost every single day in these Italian Brown Cypress Falcons over the last 150 days, and I think Horween Cypress might be the holy grail of leathers. The Italian Brown started as a beautiful rich brown color with just the right amount of character and only got better with each wear. My favorite part of this leather is how the lighter undertones of the leather started to almost crack through the dark brown surface to give it an almost antique look.
