Nicks W&C DS Stationmaster, I can’t complain.
Nicks StationMaster in Wickett & Craig Natural Double StuffedBy northsouthdenimguy • April 3, 2024"I’ve worn these boots on construction sites for the last six months, five days a week 10 to 12 hours a day in some pretty nasty conditions. They’ve been ankle deep in mud , water, dirt, drywall dust, etc.. with everything that has been thrown at these boots they just come out the other side with a little TLC looking better and better...."Read the full review
These boots reminded me why it is so important to WEAR YOUR BOOTS!
Jamvaida Japanese Moc Toe in Horween Olive ChromexcelBy cgbaird2 • April 3, 2024"I wore these in the "work from home dome," which means I wore them with sweatpants and shorts a lot of days. Lots of walks and hikes, and used for climbing the stairs in our condo building. I really did wear them nearly every day for the first 3 or so months. Then, rotated one or 2 days a week in the dead of winter...."Read the full review
Love the aesthetic and the material, but my feet don’t love the 602 last

A super versatile and comfortable pair of boots in a leather that has grown more beautiful with wear
Russell Moccasin Premier Chukka in Horween Rust ChamoisBy philbert • April 3, 2024"These boots have been super versatile for me. I’ve worn them to work in a dental office, hiking and walking around town. Also, for some light duty upland hunting, although the sole is definitely not meant for slick conditions...."Read the full review
An ultra-rare, ultra-cool pair of Iron Rangers
Red Wing Iron Ranger in S.B. Foot Oro HarnessBy scratch.awl • April 3, 2024"Not only were these boots a special commemorative release, they were only available as a giveaway, not for purchase. I was one of the lucky few who were chosen to get a pair when they were announced in the fall of 2022. I kept them on my shelf for the following year before entering them into the Thunderdome.
While Red Wing’s construction is fairly barebones (no midsoles in these!), I personally have found the 8 last to be one of the most comfortable for my feet, and I always enjoyed the chance to throw these boots on. I wore a second pair for the contest, but I found myself favoring these Iron Rangers a lot more.
The leather is quite an intriguing fusion between Amber Harness and Oro Legacy. It has a much darker, more caramel-y color than Oro Legacy does, but it still manages to retain that leather’s vibrant orange-sunset undertones, giving it a more lively appearance in comparison to Red Wing’s Copper Rough and Tough, for example.
I don’t think anyone will notice at first glance that these aren’t your typical Iron Rangers, but there’s a lot of unique character in this leather that I will continue to enjoy as it evolves even more...."Read the full review
1000 Miles (and Counting…)
Viberg Service Boot PCT in Horween Natural Shell CordovanBy solestandcool • April 3, 2024"These were worn constantly. No activity or condition deterred that. From the office to jobsites, from sun to sleet, these were on foot. Significant mileage was racked up walking the streets of NYC (the heels tell that tale), a significant amount accompanied by my never-tired Blue Heeler on our daily long walks. My phone tells me I’ve walked/ran 1,100 miles over these past 6 months. Outside of a recent reentry into running, all of those miles were lived through these boots...."Read the full review

Red Wing 6-Inch Classic Moc in S.B. Foot Copper Rough and ToughBy scratch.awl • April 3, 2024"I really enjoyed wearing these, and greatly prefer the 45 last as opposed to the 23 last that Red Wing uses for the rest of their moc toe boots. More 45 last releases please, Red Wing!..."Read the full review
Boots were mid. Don't raise the heel height, you're gonna have a bad time.

Leftie tighty righty loosey. -a love story.
Nicks Traveler in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy fjaagewaage • April 3, 2024"I have used them for just about everything.
First week i aerated the lawn with a pitchfork. I regret two things: getting my new boots muddy and not wearing gloves.
Helping friends and family with car maintenance, oil change and repairs.
I still ride my moped to work everyday in rain, snow and salted ice roads. Clerking, moving boxes, pallets, assembeling, transporting and repairing different disability equipment.
They have been worn in the woods and on lighter mountain hikes.
Walking around my local city and on vacation in London taking film photographs...."Read the full review
Lifelong Friends
Nicks BuilderPro in Seidel 1964 Brown SmoothBy whiskey.bootlaces • April 3, 2024"I primarily used this pair at work in a welding manufacturing shop.
