Fit is great, i could see dropping half a size for thurman sizing but they fit great. It doesnt feel like my outside of my foot are going to blow through the side. I will always get thurman from now on

Fit is great the weather-shield leather is nice and stout, the thurman hnw last is very comfortable right from the start

Why I own this

Custom
Workplace Needs
Outdoor Activities
Style

I chose this boot because my uncle is a wild land firefighter and he has said great things about nicks boots, and i was looking for something in a 10” where the boots i usually got from redwing only come in 8” and only one sole option out of the gate

How I sized

Did Not Try On
Foot Tracing
Brannock Measurements

I did the measuring as nicks suggests for a standard size and i just went with the thurman as my feet like just a little more room than a none thurman. I also researched alot of different articles and conversations people have had. No regrets in getting a thurman i will most likely never get another style of boot.

The experience was quite overwhelming at first when looking at all the options, but after spending some time looking at and building other items it became way less daunting.

Boots have been apart of every condition so far except for summer. These have been amazing from threading pipe and climbing ladders to unloading and moving pipe deliveries in mud snow and ice

Leather

Seidel WeatherShield Brown

Has held up well to everything except a truss plate in an attic that caught and tore a chunk of leather on the toe cap. For care i had an initial conditioning and then have just brushed 2 times a week and a monthly wipe down with a wet cloth. Break in wasnt horrible and the leather has softened and loosened up a bit now and it is pretty molded to my legs and feet

So i do believe i could of went down a half size, but either way i believe these have been the most comfortable boot ive worn.
