A "soft toe" from Nicks.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • April 4, 2025"I work at a bakery and most of my working day is spent slinging drinks and serving food so my boots see a lot of chemicals, syrups, natural dyes like matcha and turmeric, and bleach. The lighter weight build has helped me keep up with the fast-paced environment and given me peace of mind when it comes to dropping drinks or things on my feet. I've taken the boots to the family homestead in the Raneer foothills, walked with the slugs and moose in the local wildlife parks, hiked with my dog Remi at the PNW famous Bowl and Pitcher trail and trenched through snow during the longer winter this year...."Read the full review

My Beloved Whites Packers
White's Packer in Seidel Red Dog Oil TanBy stepped_in_dookie_again • April 5, 2025"These have been my go to boots for everything. Almost daily wear. These boots shined where ankle support was needed.
Some activities:
- Daily walks along a short rocky trail with my three 70lb - 80lbs dogs. Walking two dogs or one hyper Weimaraner at a time. At minimum four times a day. A lot of the scratches/scrapesn you see are from these walks.
The ankle support and tough Red Dog leather kept me protected on these walks. For example, when my dogs would charge a stray cat/squirrel and pull me unwillingly to join the cause, it was typically into rocks or branches and but thankfully I fell on my face because of the ankle support.
I tried the same walk in sandals once, and apparently the sides of my bare feet don’t enjoy rocks. Weird
- Helped my friend move during a rainstorm carrying heavy stuff up to the third floor
- Two Metal shows and several moshpits. Ankle support was great and kept standing in the pits. The tall heel helped me see above crowds to see the bands (me at 5’ 9” any extra height is welcomed)
- Outdoor food festival, many outdoor breweries and food trucks
- Local fantasy themed pro-wrestling show. Tall heel again helped see the action again
- Trip back home to San Francisco Bay Area and traversing the hills of SF the tall heel made walking up hills easier
- Trips to museums
- Visited my friends farm, fed some cows. It was great
- Chilled at my local coffee shop working on my laptop many times
- Most importantly: wore them to hang with friends that would listen to me monologue about the history of the packer boots and why I think they’re so cool..."Read the full review
Lifelong Friends
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy whiskey.bootlaces • April 3, 2024"I primarily used this pair at work in a welding manufacturing shop. Lots of miles walking on polished concrete, kneeling down, climbing ladders, etc. I also wore them for some walks around town, doing yard work, and working on the family cars...."Read the full review
Nicks Stationmasters- best engineers out there!
Nicks StationMaster in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy 32oz_denim • April 5, 2025"These guys have spent most of their hours kicking around Perennial Artisan Ales in St. Louis, MO and it’d probably be easier to describe what they haven’t seen. I mainly manage our barrel aging program as well as maintaining and fixing equipment and systems, but you’ll find me doing just about any job in the brewery as the operations manager. As a small team, I still spend plenty of days brewing, cellaring, and packaging beer to get the job done. It’s hot, humid, wet, and often dirty work. This winter was pretty gnarly with a ton more snow and ice than usual- whoda thought Vibram 700 isn’t ideal for ice? whoops. They’ve also spent plenty of time outdoors wandering around the woods and our family farm chasing youngins. There is endless amounts of scuffing from the brewery, but I’m sure feral toddler feet have left their mark as well...."Read the full review

Pullman, beast of a boot
Nicks Pullman in Seidel Max Support Black SmoothBy spartanvalkyrie • April 6, 2025"They are the quick pull on boot for all around activities and chores. Quick trip to hardware store, Pullman. Walk to the mailbox, Pullman. Let the dogs out in the rain, Pullman. Running late for work, Pullman.
Great for extra protection when sharp and abrasive tools are in hand...."Read the full review
Halfway broken in!
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • March 22, 2025"These are my daily boots, mainly at work where anything from bleach to carrot cake can end up on them. I manage a bakery/Coffee shop and spend most of my time on bar or making items. The snow in my area often didn't cause any issues with these, they are essentially water resistant with all the wax. They have gone on many dog walks and wooded trails near my home...."Read the full review
Nicks BuilderPro - Ultimate Work Boot
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Walnut RoughoutBy LowUFO • January 4, 2026"The Nicks BuilderPro isn’t just the ultimate work boot. I wear these things everywhere.
I originally bought these for work, but then found myself wearing them all the time.
Hiking, fishing, camping, or just around town.
At work i subject these boots to extreme conditions. Hundreds of wet dry cycles. Choking dry dust. Exposure to concrete slurry from cuttoff saws. These boots have been through the wringer, and are no worse for wear...."Read the full review
