More about this item

Sole stitching is best I’ve gotten. Wanted to try a darker color W&C in the dome with a tread that would survive winter.

Why did you choose this item?

Outdoor Activities

Wanted a winter boot for the dome in W&C. Lots of snow where I am, so lug sole is required. Chose a slate as I wanted something unique. These should clear a metal detector, which matters for me at work.

Previous sizing with Nicks. Went up to EE for something more relaxed. Probably won’t use the as work boots, more just general use.

Surprising amount of pull up. It’s grey. Let’s see what it turns into.

Satisfied with the Fit

Usually go 55 in 10.5E. Went HNW and up to EE for a more relaxed fit. They are what I expected.

Not a stitch out of place. They really did a great job. Finishing was the best I’ve had from Nicks. Would love a 7” version to hold your ankle a little more.
