Wasn't really a shoe guy... These changed my mind.

The best boots I've ever worn.

Some squish, please!
Frank's Ranier in Seidel Chocolate Oil Tan RoughoutBy Hayduke • December 6, 2024"I have mainly worn them around work on concrete floors and around town doing errands. I wore them to the shooting range, which was nice. It was good to have a solid footing while shooting. My job requires heavy lifting and lots of steps on concrete. The 2021 wedge sole seemed a bit hard at first, but I'm liking it more and more. The extra squish versus my Patriots is nice...."Read the full review

The perfect boots for bogs, braes, and city blocks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND1 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy Call • April 3, 2026"These have been my daily drivers for just about everything life could throw at them. From working in the office and walking down city streets to DIY; I’ve been putting the ND1s through their paces.
Living in Scotland we have excessively wet weather especially during the winter, acidic peat bogs, and general muck. These boots have been champions through it all with no fuss, and only a handful of quick brushings to keep the dirt off.
They broke in quick, especially after a week when I took them rocket engine testing during a rather stormy week in the Scottish highlands. They also spent a few weeks glued to my feet doing DIY after we bought our first home...."Read the full review
My new normal
Nicks Palisade in Seidel Max Support Black SmoothBy SpydercoMariner • February 22, 2026"The break in started on the 1st day after receipt. MaxSupport Black will take awhile. The Palisade with its single piece backstay isn’t as locked in as a standard heelcup & backstay. But, there is no noticeable slip...."Read the full review
Durable boots that survived heat, rain, and damp — no spa needed.
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Brown Smooth & Seidel 1964 Brown RoughoutBy butcheredman • September 26, 2025"I’ve put these boots through it all — wet weather, hot days, even being completely soaked — and they’ve never let me down. The only time I had an issue was when a bit of mold showed up after 25 straight days of working in damp, rainy conditions. But even that cleared up easily just by giving them sun and fresh air. I never needed any professional boot care — their durability speaks for itself...."Read the full review

Nicks moc toe wedge boot, the no nonsense tough solution to any job site endeavor.
Nicks Moc Toe Pro in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy KuKuSparky • December 29, 2024"I make my bones as a commercial and industrial electrician. The bulk of the work that I’ve done in these boots has been on a warehouse TI job roping, running EMT ranging from 3/4”-2.5”, and some underground work. On my own time these boots have carried me through a few projects including a residential rewire, digging a trench for a pool, rearranging receptacles for a salon and roping a brand new ADU. Through every task these boots have proved worthy and able to tackle anything...."Read the full review
