In need of a second layer of skin?! BUY Acorn Cypress!!
Nicks Ranger MTO in Horween Acorn CypressBy DocLineman • April 2, 2026"At the end of every work day I switched to this pair. As I’m reflecting on the past 6 months I can’t recall a true break in. This pair went from new to slipper status in a merely 2-3 weeks. The vast majority of its wear has been in a not performative manner., as I wanted to respect the non working category. Being how life throws us lemons, I made lemonade on the occasional weekend. I’ve walked miles upon miles through the woods with my kids, built a horse stable for the new pasture I put in...."Read the full review

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

Is there really a tougher boot out there?
Nicks Palouse in Horween Orange Predator & Horween Walnut BullhideBy DocLineman • April 2, 2026"I used to only wear a slip on boot, it all changed a few years ago. I have been fortunate enough to be able to find the toughest slip on to date. I wore this pair every day build, maintaining, constructing, and restoring power across the North East. As you can see a chainsaw in the bottom of my bucket tore the bullhide up, yet it’s just a surface scratch as that’s how tough this boot is...."Read the full review
A true workhorse of a boot!
Truman Moc Toe in Horween Java Waxed FleshBy SCUFFALO.BILL • April 2, 2026"These boots have been through it all! Heavy rain, snow, mud…. You name it. They have held up great here in the PNW winter.

Monkey Boots with Attitude!
Jakkrabbits Monkey Boot in Shinki Black Teacore HorsebuttBy hosekileather • April 2, 2026"These are the go-to boots for my everyday activities. Equally good with a suit or jeans, these amazing boots have walked, ran, marched, danced and stood for up to 16 hours a day. My work takes me outside over grass, gravel, boardwalks, sidewalks, stairs, hills, dog walking, yardwork and livestock visits in the paddocks. They have been in rain, snow, puddles, mud and gravel...."Read the full review

6 months of wear and still going!
Red Wing x Indian Motorcycle Spirit Lake in Redwing Amber Portage LeatherBy hosekileather • April 2, 2026"These went to work, in the truck, on the motorcycle, in the office and across a mix of terrain and historical buildings. We had hot, wet, snow, extreme cold and crazy weather from fall to spring. Walking anywhere from 1-9 km per day on average, these collaboration, now no longer made, 8" tall motorcycle boots are just what my soul ordered. They have broken in very well and treated me nicely...."Read the full review
