Break-In

Leather was tough at the start and then slowly started to become nice and supple

Satisfied with the Fit

They were tough fit at the beginning but become the best and most comfortable boot I have.

Craftsmanship

Stitching
Construction

Nicks always does a good job. Of course with a hand made boot they aren’t always perfect stitching, but they are always gonna be the longest lasting

Little to no wear on the shoe seems like it’ll last a long time

Final thoughts

Would Recommend

I think I would recommend this maker, I believe they do some of the most durable boots. But I do not think their finish is the best, it’s a work boot company and with that comes a work boot finish if you want something that you can go out on Friday night then wake up and go to a dinner these are the boots. If you wanna wear this to church I recommend you look elsewhere
