The Brave Little Coaster
Nicks Coaster in Wickett & Craig Natural Veg TanBy calljeef • April 3, 2026"This little coaster has experienced more than it probably should have. Drinking at least 3 cups of tea a day has shown its mark, especially when I brewed in my gaiwan as I tend to spill some tea each time. The tea definitely stained the leather and darkened areas. While less messy, normal coffee cups put defined rings. I think the extreme heat and water contributed to some pretty extreme warpage...."Read the full review
Pacific Waxed Flesh, LTT Roberts and a mid Atlantic Winter.
Nicks Lace To Toe in Horween Pacific Waxed FleshBy ShnyHntr91 • April 3, 2026"Early on, these Pacific Waxed Flesh, LTT Roberts were a crucial component in clearing out and cleaning up a nasty plot of land behind our house. Enduring ticks and some of the worst poison ivy I have received to date.
Then winter struck. Snow, sleet then a heavy coating of freezing rain, followed by a month of well below freezing temps. Determined to get my steps in, the Roberts and myself pushed through what seemed to be one of the worst winters that I can recollect in a long time.
Finally winter began to break and it was time to begin helping my youngest practice softball. There were no tasks too tall for the mighty PWF LTT's. They only continued asking for more...."Read the full review
Indo Superstar
Sagara Cordmaster in Maryam Natural HorsebuttBy niku • April 3, 2026"Mostly worn as a daily activity boot, nothing too crazy and not in extreme conditions. Lots of brushing as well. During the dome it got rained on a couple times and I think that eventually darkened them a bit but I like the gradations that came in because of the more normal wear...."Read the full review

My first dome!
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in C.F. Stead Earth Waxy Commander SuedeBy jct • April 3, 2026"I tried to wear these as much as possible. A lot of which was just going to the office, thankfully mine is very casual so these were fine even when beat up.
However, evenings and weekends I was walking in the nearby parks, putting in the miles with my friends playing Pokemon Go and just generally trying to be outside, not in a car. These chewed through 2 pairs of laces on my adventures.
So, rain, mud, gravel, carpets, these have seen quite a bit. No snow this year, though...."Read the full review

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
Not a Hard Life, Just a Real One
Oldspeed Service Boot 6” in Horween Russet Horsehide StripsBy moznme • April 3, 2026"These have been worn regularly for neighborhood walks, both short and long, including time on local park paths and light trails. They’ve seen the full range of everyday conditions: rain, snow, sleet, mud, and the occasional puddle.
Not abused, but definitely not avoided either. The approach has been simple. I wear them wherever I’ve gone without overthinking it.
They’ve lived an easy but honest life: steady use, varied conditions, and no effort to keep them pristine...."Read the full review
