3 Months in the Builder Pros
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 MonarchBy Idale77 • January 4, 2025"I've worn these boots to work Monday thru Friday and whatever little OT I get here and there.. They see a combination of time spent on asphalt/concrete and driving/operating. They have been exposed to some water and salt this past month. They handle everything with ease...."Read the full review

Thursday Black Label Challenger in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed BlackBy SwankeLorde • January 3, 2025"Worn mostly for work at the brewery, on my feet 8-10hrs a day in wet/dry/dusty/hot/cold/humid conditions. Lots of stairs, walking, lifting, bending, kicking, spilled beer and chemical, grain dust, brew/filter powders. Frequent temperature changes going from a 120°F 100% humidity brewhouse to a 30°F bone dry hop cooler... The boots get their fair share of abuse.
Other fun stuff I've done in them: Ren Fest x2, various hikes through Texas wilderness, a handful of concerts and shows (this was killer on my feet the first show before the boots were fully broken in), and a bit of partying for the holidays! Soon they'll see their first travel as I'm taking them to Mexico in February...."Read the full review
Best boots I've ever owned!
Russell Moccasin Backcountry in Full-Grain TimberjackBy Navajo732224 • January 3, 2025"I have used the backcountries for what they where made for walking anywhere and doing anything from the hospital floors of UCSF to the rugged terrain of the trails and backcountry there is nothing these boots can't do...."Read the full review

Al's Attire Hand Made Type 1 Service Boot in Horween Brown Chromexcel HorsehideBy LeeRoss • January 2, 2025"These boots are my go-to almost daily, with rest on Sundays.

Sagara Boonies
Sagara Boondocker in Maryam Natural Horsebutt RoughoutBy Oldmanblooming • January 2, 2025"I’ve worn them doing a bit of everything, not too much wear in any one category or activity. I appreciate that these are a bit more rugged than my WMB boots..."Read the full review
the faint pattern of the upper part is increasingly visible, it is like a leopard

My most reliable and bombproof boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed Flesh & Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy cjelliott • December 30, 2024"I work in a medium pace cafe with a decent length of days. I get to sit down during my commute to and from work. These fit more underneath slimmer leg'd pants like my N&F jeans in Easy Guy, tech chinos from OldNavy, and a few others. You will stand out if you're wearing a lighter-weight pant with these...."Read the full review
They Live Up to the Hype
Nicks Lace Up Heritage in Horween Tan Waxed FleshBy polishengineering • December 29, 2024"These are my work boots. I do a lot of projects around the house, and I am a hobbyist woodworker. I needed boots that could go from landscaping to indoor construction to the woodshop without issue.
They have primarily been used to build a new shed in my backyard from the foundation up and have done the work with acclaim. Slamming shovels, kicking framing, gripping roofing, zero complaints...."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
Embodiment of Comfort
Oak Street Bootmakers Country Loafer in Horween Natural Chromexcel RoughoutBy polishengineering • December 29, 2024"These are my suburban parent shoes. Daycare drop offs, bus stops, groceries, swim class, and now dog walks. If I don't have to literally run, there is a strong chance I'm wearing these...."Read the full review
Zero regrets. These are a great hiker/work boot.
Nicks x Rose Anvil ND3 in Horween Brown Waxed FleshBy ProletariatPrince • December 29, 2024"I have worn these from Florida to Missouri to Washington to New England. They never fail to perform.
The recent very cold weather in Washington want great, but I didn't really feel like I needed insulation. Standing outside in 30degree weather for six hours wasn't entirely unpleasant. I wonder if the lace to toe double vamp helped with that.
Rain, snow, heat, nothing is uncomfortable...."Read the full review
The color is amazingly complex and beautiful. Comfort, quality, customer service, are all top tier.
Parkhurst The Allen in Parkhurst / C.F. Stead Inferno RamblerBy ProletariatPrince • December 29, 2024"These are primarily my office boots, but I also go for a walk on the trails a couple times a week, plus light yard work...."Read the full review

Flame Panda Chukkas in Maryam Natural Horsebutt Overdyed Brown then BlackBy Sips • December 29, 2024"I’ve been wearing the shoes almost every day since the beginning of the dome, except for the one week we had snow, and I’ve averaged over 12k steps a day. Although I switch to Birkenstocks at the studio and trainers for my workouts, I probably average more than 6k steps in them on a daily basis...."Read the full review
