    Leather

    Wickett & Craig Black English Bridle
    Break-In

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

    Fit

    HNW Last: 7DUS Men's Brannock: 8D
    Comfort
    Length Feels Right
    Volume Feels Right
    Ball Feels Right
    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

    Sole & heel

    Vibram 430 Oil-Resisting Mini-Lug Full SoleAlmost 2 years, current sole
    Traction

    Slippery when wet

    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
