Great leather, style, and comfort. Wears like steel, looks good without any leather care.

More about this item

Brown waxed flesh is great leather, but not to show patina in a 6 month competition reflecting wear. Also, I wouldn't recommend this boot with a side zipper. Not practical or useful. I love these boots but need to unlace and lace up regardless of the side zipper. The competition is challenging to get as much normal wear out of your shoes and reflect the amazing leather patina they take on. I think everyone sharing their journey was the best part. Great people, great footwear, great competition for anyone to participate in ... I will again!

Why I own this

Custom
Style
Workplace Needs

Military history, ease, and look of a side zipper, the multipurpose of the boots. I enjoy the 8 inch style and leather.

How I sized

Watching Nick videos, other boot podcasts, and getting my feet measured at Redwings.

Very long wait. 7 or 8 months I think. But not as long as Wesco. Lol. Online order was simple and easy.

Great looks, little bit of patina but not much. No issues with winter weather or rain. Just great looking and tough. Breakin was pretty good.

Satisfied with the Fit
Toes Too Roomy
Ball Feels Misplaced

Real good. But hindsight for me, the 55 probably is my favorite. The 67 maybe a little too much contour change on my foot. I found they wear better with a very thin nonslip insole. Heel cup great, toe box a little too roomy.

Craftsmanship

Nicks Patrol Boot

Excellent all around.

Great! Nice choice for a lower profile but still great traction and function.
