Riverfront: Perfect Boot Shoe ?
Nicks Riverfront in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy StuntTriple • April 3, 2026"I got my Riverfronts from the ready to ship section of Nick's Boots. I knew they would be perfect for me since it's mostly hot around me. I took them everywhere with me, Japan, Salt Lake City, to the racetrack, out on town, to the local park etc.
Mostly walked in these and I'm happy with how they're holding up...."Read the full review
Flagship
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Walnut RoughoutBy LowUFO • April 2, 2026"My first pair of Nicks Boots. I originally got them for retaining wall work and landscaping. I wear them while cutting concrete blocks and paving stones which means they have been exposed to a crazy amount of silica dust and concrete slurry. I have worn them just about everywhere. Lots of hiking, camping and fishing...."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
