Nick's engineer in Wickett and Craig

Wear to work and casual use

It's a very stiff and difficult to break in leather. These are still breaking in and I imagine they will be for some time. They show marks and wear due to the color and veg tan leather

Because the leather is so difficult to bend, heel slip was irritating until they began to bend in the soles. They are still not fully broken in.

Nick's are the best built boots I've ever seen, these are no exception

Great sole for hard wearing purposes, not a great choice for inclement weather

I'm a big fan of the vbar

Might have considered a half size down to minimize heel slip, and given my occupation and winter weather might have gotten a better result out of a lace up and traction sole
