I was born in 1964 the same year Nicks started and I used to live near Spokane.

How did you determine your size?

I was 14 B. It was a little tight with insoles or thicker socks. Went to 14.5D and feels better.

I wore them every day this fall, winter and spring. Harsh conditions and they just got better. Work and play they felt so good and looked so good.

Very well because these were a size change/rebuild. Unlike other boots that wear out these just improve.

Love the Wedge, very comfortable on concrete too. I am careful on ice and sometimes use cleats.
