My boots are used in the commercial light industrial refrigeration and HVAC industry a lot of time in the elements all kinds of weather and temperatures
The leather is darkening slightly as expected it softened up nicely of the first few weeks break in was pretty easy I don’t go crazy on conditioning about every three months I use some heavy duty LP grease lightly. It’s a very strong work leather
The 55 last is pretty much my favorite boot feels great holds my foot great I have plenty of toe room with the comp toe. I do a half size down from brannock and that length is right on I’m actually a F width but get the EE I don’t like my boots to loose. The ball of my foot stays in place and feels great. I’m happy with the fit
I really like the look of the tanker they have changed there design with the placement of the front buckle after I ordered these which will help the look even more . They are built strong unlikely to fall apart for many years
The honey soles are my go to a little softer material good traction and comfort will wear out a little quicker
I like the look of the classic heel stack it’s comfortable good traction with it
Ever since I got my first pair of nicks I haven’t looked back I recommend them to everyone the price is steep but once you get hooked on a quality boot you understand why
