A 12 minute exhaustive boot video from Nick's? Guess I'll grab a cold one and kick up my feet, cause it looks like I'm in for a treat today!

Sir i am big fan of your boots....i want to buy urban logger boots..i live in Indian...... Pls sir can you help me ..

[@5jmac2]

I see you too are a man of culture 🍻

[@mikeford963]

Having worn Irish Setters for a few years, I can really appreciate the extra space in a larger toe box area. The ability to move your toes around to keep the circulation going is under stated. As a welder, I'd want the composite toe, NFPA sole and stitching. As well as smooth leather, that way the sparks, slag, and spatter can roll right off with out hanging up in the suede.

[@Nordic_Sky]

Nick's are wonderful boots. I feel great every time I wear mine. Expensive? Sure. They have to be given the materials & craftsmanship. Worth it? Absolutely. These guys are American craftsmen and craftswomen. If you don't have a pair, treat yourself. They will last for years and can be rebuilt. Buy fewer, better things. And buy American. You won't be sorry.

[@predwards8941]

I just wish I lived closer so I could go in and get an accurate sizing

[@Nordic_Sky]

@@predwards8941 I did the home measurement with another company (not Nick's). The boots ended up costing $800 (incl. $100 rush fee) and never fit properly. I vowed never to buy another pair unless the company themselves took the measurements.

[@stuartbritton7408]

Did you say craftswomen? They have craftswomen there too? I don't think women like those sort of jobs. They're men's jobs, really. Women like dressmaking and flower arranging. Men like men's jobs. Most do, anyway.

[@forrestluca5834]

First off great video, and the semi long video explaining everything is very comforting, it takes the amount of phone calls down for simple questions and gives your viewers a chance to take a breath and think about there options. You did leave out the lineman patch for anyone who is on poles often and wares down the inside of there boots more often. Personally I think taking photos of a customers boots and having a separate category just for pictures would be a great addition to your website. with different color combinations, heights, and various options of a customers boots, future customers could take a look and see what they like.

[@nicksboots]

That's a great idea! As for the lineman patch, they're so rare anymore and most people don't need them. If they do, we still offer the Lineman boot on the website!

I would love to see Nicks offer the ultimate motorcycle riding boot with the D3 armor in the ankle as a 6 inch. I really think with the quality they offer that they could steal the market for that.

[@billalcantar03]

Best boots hands down ! Save your money and don't buy cheap boots that will need to be replaced very soon. Customer service is also thee best ! Keep the videos coming guys. Thanks !!

[@niklasstone7919]

Best boots indeed! I honestly don't want to take them off at the end of most days. And considered the materials and all the work that goes into them, they could be more expensive. Buying nicks and ship them around the world is actually a lot cheaper than getting such a pair made here in germany, at least as far as i know. Ordered my 2nd pair almost 3 months ago, can't wait for them to get finished x) If you've read this far, you deserve yourself some schnitzel!

I was noticing the same thing on the website. Several times a boot was pictured that didn't quite match the named color swatches and I was thinking "what color is THAT boot?"

[@brandonross4742]

I actually mentioned that on one of their Facebook posts and they responded to me saying they would pass that suggestion onto the powers that oversee that aspect. We see if it changes.

Keep working on a slip-on work boot. Some of us have a hard time lacing boots. Not western, not engineer. Round toe, side pull loops, no straps. Full lug vibram sole, 1 1/4 inch defined heel, rough out toe and heel counter cover, smooth upper, nice smooth heel slide inside to ease getting on. I’d buy two pairs.

[@MarcP5267]

I would love the Overlander in a rough out option like the Builder Pro’s.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

great video

[@jubes3672]

I would really like to see a video showing your different heel options. I see on your site in the custom heritage section you have classic and moderate, as well as dogger and logger. I'm considering a pair of Falcons for Robert's but don't really know what this difference options look or would feel like. Thanks

[@deemstyle]

Thanks for this video. I actually work an office job, but am very interested in custom boots that would pass for borderline business casual. Why are there no videos around of the aldert strider boot? This boot seems like it might be passable for an office boot.

[@ethanmarch4269]

This answered all the questions I was going to call and ask, thank you, I am now ready to place my order for a custom fit pair of builder pro's, my one final question is does the custom fit you guys keep on record go across to your heritage boots or will I need to re-do the fit process when I'm ready to get one of those.

[@max796428]

It goes across all their boots.

[@nicksboots]

Check out our video on "Custom Boots" for fitting info. Once you find your Nicks size, it can be used on work and heritage boots!

[@Johnnybotelho1]

Hi Grant, I was looking at the Builder Pro Custom Configuration on the website, and there are some options with no image for the costumer to have a preview of the diferences (ex: heel profile, heel stacks, toe style)... It would be great to have photos of the differences or a youtube video showing them. I'm from Brazil and am really looking to purchase a Builder Pro, I just have a few questions with some customization options.

[@enriquea.9061]

You mentioned about some features that will play into the comfort of the boot. Is there a video on that topic or can you reply on what are those. Thanks

[@nearpath8785]

NFPA isn't required for me, so how well does your standard vibram sole hold up to heat?

[@BigB176]

I'm guessing yalls wedge sole probably last a long time. I need to try em out

[@johnvelas70]

While I wait for the trial size to come, the thought occurred to me I like what Wesco did by accident on my rebuild. Is a soft toe available with a toe cap. They look like clown shoes, but I'm hard on my toes (tops and bottoms). Also do you put a steel toe plate on (for corks)?

[@inspectorgadget6510]

What options would you recommend getting for standing on concrete most of the day 5 days a week?

I’m looking to purchase a pair of custom climbing boots. The only concern I have is the leather shank since I have a lot of confidence with steel shanks over the years. I don’t want to be reaching out 6’ on the line with one foot in the pole and my foot starts bending. Maybe some lineman can chime in about their experiences with a leather shank

Two design questions: Why do you put a flap of "spikey" leather at the bottom of the lacing area? Why is the heel curved in so dramatically on some boots while others have a normal block heel?
