Leather

Patina Process
Care Routine
Color Change

This leather takes longer to patina and also retains its color during smooth out. I’ve found that it hides scuffs fairly well. The break-in process was easy. I blew them off with compressed air, brushed them, and conditioned with beef tallow.

Satisfied with the Fit

I have wide feet and high arches and have always struggled with traditionally sized shoes. The Nicks Thurman Last (size 7.5 F) provides ample room in the toe box with great support for my arches.

Nicks has always delivered on high quality craftsmanship. You can spend more money somewhere else but you won’t get more boot. These boots are made to last and look damn good no matter how worn.
