Ordering process

Purchased from Nicks Handmade BootsTotal cost: 788 USD Lead time: 6 months

Used the online store the site is easy to use and offers lots of options the buying guide on the site has a lot of useful information

Use & wear

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

Leather

1964 Monarch Smooth

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

Fit

55 Last: 12.5EEUS Men's Brannock: 13EE
Length Feels Right
Volume Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Satisfied with the Fit

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

Craftsmanship

Nicks TankerPro

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

Sole & heel

Vibram 100 Montagna Lug Full Sole HoneyLess than a day, current sole

The honey soles are my go to a little softer material good traction and comfort will wear out a little quicker

Classic Heel StackWorn for less than a day, current heel

I like the look of the classic heel stack it’s comfortable good traction with it

Final thoughts

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
