Pullman, beast of a boot
Nicks Pullman in Seidel Max Support Black SmoothBy spartanvalkyrie • April 6, 2025"Smooth over rough out is always a winning combo. Great when sparks are flying and dirty conditions abound. Thick leather with plenty of protection and support. Minimal care, brush off debris and dust as needed...."Read the full review
Simple and Value Packed
White's Perry 8" Select in Seidel Natural Double ShotBy clarkbars • April 4, 2024"Super easy break in since it’s a hot stuffed leather. Not a lot of color change and quite water repellent. It’s nothing fancy but I still find myself staring at the nuances all the time...."Read the full review
Not bad. I wish the tongue was a little taller. I'll be keeping these for sure.
Nicks Robert in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy Monkley • April 1, 2024"The only break in issue I had was on my ankle on the left boot. I suspect it was related to where an eyelet sat relative to my foot and not related to the leather. It has since gone away.
The leather has held up well. There's some staining, but I think any brown boot will experience that with my usage. Even the rough chemical burn spot on the toe has plenty of juice left - no sign foreseeable failure.
Care was a light coat of Venetian (shoe cream or leather balm, I forget) to add a little wax at the start. This was in hopes of delaying or preventing chemical spotting.
Any dry spots throughout I would use bick4 or Smith's leather balm to spot condition.
The one harsh chemical burn was moisturized after scraping off the burnt top layer with Smith's, then some wear and another spot of Smith's followed by tokonole to try and seal it...."Read the full review

These live up to the hype
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Tan RoughoutBy SirBasilStagHare • April 6, 2024"This leather is great. I chose it because I liked photos of how it darkened with conditioning and then fell in love with the texture and colors of the original state. It did not take too long to break in, and I expect it to last forever given my usage...."Read the full review
These are some seriously sturdy purpose built work boots

Great boots I use them for work and play
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy Mechanical_J • April 1, 2024"The 1964 tan started out pretty stiff with a light tan color over the last six months they have taken on a nice light brown color and softend up nicely I cleaned and conditioned them twice with the nicks grease and just wore them normally after two weeks of wear it started to become pretty easy to wear I didnt switch boots during break in I just wore them every day and honestly it wasn't to bad for me the boots fit my foot very well I didn't get any hot spots or anything used the leather laces until they broke then switched out to ironlace I just brush them off as needed on a weekend here and there being that they are a lighter color they will show stains the stains that I have on mine are from dirty water from a boiler happened during a change out but to me that just adds character..."Read the full review
Solid comfort
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Tan SmoothBy billdozer • April 5, 2025"The break in for the first few days was ok, going down stairs was painful. I used the 213 lacing method to help.
The places I work are pretty dirty and oily. I blew them off most days with compressed air and a quick horsehair brush. In the weekends I’ve been hitting the rough with a nylon brush and a longer horsehair brush off. I’ve lightly conditioned with nicks included conditioner (obenaufs lp?) every other month, mainly to keep the rough out water resistant. If I dripped oil on them or they got extra dirty, I’d used a brass bristled brush...."Read the full review
