More about this item
6” w/ a Pull Loop, Honey Vibram, Toe Cap in new Shackleton Cognac.See background
Why did you choose this item?
Winter boots need lugs. Can’t we dome in the summer and open my choices up? 😁
How did you determine your size?
Used their guide.
What was the ordering process?
Too easy. Check my cc bills…
Use & wear
Been wearing into work, yardwork, and a bunch of pressuring washing.
Leather
Not sure how these will patina, but they feel smooth, well hydrated from the box. Leather is surprisingly stiff and it’s taking 2+ weeks of wear to get them to show any rolls. Nothing but brushing and they look new
Fit
55 last for life. A little less pronounced arch than White’s. 10.5 E from Nick’s fits me well
Craftsmanship
The stitch down is the best I’ve gotten from Nicks. Overall stitching is great. Heavy construction. Wish it was a 7”
Sole & heel
A little squeaky when wet, but standard honey lug vibram
Solid
Final thoughts
Great boot. As I said, 7” would give a little better support. Wanted to try something new for the winter and Shackleton is legit leather. Showing zero wear after two weeks. Plan to see how long I can go before conditioning, as they don’t need it. Most consistent stitching of my Nick’s. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
