I was looking for a boot that would be versatile enough for the office and daily wear, and wanted to go with Nicks again.
I previously had Nicks in 10.5 FFF, and they were just a bit long.
They were ready in just over a month.. a bit quicker than expected.
Wear to office, and casual wear.
The leather looked great with a lot of pullup from day one. The wear is barely noticeable, with the patina being a slow burn . I thought they were fine to wear all day out of the box, and felt broken in fairly well after a couple of weeks. Used Smith's about two months in, and right at the last week. I brushed with horse hair three or four times a week.
I like the last with my high volume feet. Very comfortable after about 15 minutes in the morning . Unfortunately, I didn't have room to add insoles. I'll get FFF next time.
Very satisfied with design, construction and finishing . Loved the leather choice.
Durability is great. Had to wear boots with better traction when there was snow as expected.
I really liked them. They aren't quite my grail boots, but take me one step closer to my perfect boot . I love the free range concept.
