Nicks Roberts

[@jonathanbellows113]

Your video sold me on the Wickett & Craig’s leather I had the Roberts 1964 in the cart while watching this and said dang it I’m switching. American 🇺🇸 tanneries they are more expensive but oh well.

[@SpaniardDH]

You thought you ain’t going to have too many views but look, a year later, being watched by another guy waiting for their Nick’s Roberts to come… Very down to earth video just what an average person or consumer needs. Cheers from Spain 🇪🇸!!

[@NoblemansXchange]

Great video! The veg tanned leathers look incredible. I work out of my garage and did my review right on my work bench as well. I also did a comparison to my urban loggers which are 6" like your Roberts. My Roberts are 8" and in Brown Waxed Flesh same 55 medium arch like yours though.. Matter fact, after watching this I'm about to them on now haha!!! I saw your one week update before this one but I look forward to see another update as well as your Franks boot review.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Hey bud thx for the reply.I ended up returning my nicks and buying more of franks boots.talking back and fourth with nicks to try to figure out my correct size seemed might it would of put us down a rabbit trail, so I did a refund and just went with nicks wills hire boot.As they nailed the fit first go around.I’ve got nothing bad to say about nicks there boots sell themselves without a doubt.just in my case franks got it figured out spot on and I couldn’t be happier with the sizing.

[@52maq52]

Same story with sizing. Had to go full size down from what I was recommended by Nicks looking at my fitsheet. But I waited and it was worth it. Great fit now. But inconvenience is there. Don't know why they commonly make it bigger.

[@johncahill612]

Those are beautiful boots and great shirt sir. Oooh yeahh!

[@keithjohnson5148]

Hahahahah the cream will rise to the top 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@HermesTrismegistes369]

🤘🏼These damn videos ! Lol I haven’t even received my first pair of nicks and I bought a second pair. I just hope they fit. I don’t wanna send them back and wait! Lmao! 🤘🏼

[@WillieVET]

Down to earth guy with a great video and cool boots. Salutations from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@ChaoteLab]

Please share another vid of these Roberts after some wear and patina. As a leather worker, Im sure you’ve a ton of useful info on how to treat, clean, shine, a pair of casual boots.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Sadly I had to return these as the fit was off.even after doing the custom fitting process.I’ve since then took all my business to franks boots

[@Allinoffroad]

Damn nice boots!!!! Im waiting on a pair of builder pros and totally going to order these as well

[@keithjohnson5148]

All-IN Offroad Yea man I can’t say enough about these boots I also ordered a pair of the urban drifters just to keep these for going out on the town and the drifters to wear as daily shit kickers

[@kaustuvbhattacharya1449]

Picked up a pair of Wilshire's in W&C Bridle Tan - was great to see someone else with a similar pair!

[@rg3412]

Cool, honest video, thanks for sharing your thoughts, I was considering the Robert as well.

[@briandavis4442]

My wife and I were in northern Idaho last week and decided to go to the Buck Knife factory and Nick's boots the same day. We both got fitted and ordered boots. I got the Robert in the brown waxed flesh and my wife got the Builder Pro in brown rough out. It's because of people like you that do these videos that I was able to make a decision on what boot to buy. I think our next pair will come from JK boots. Thx.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Look into franks boots as that’s all I will buy from here out. Amazing quality and awesome prolly to speak with

[@gqfiend]

I am so happy you got these!!! I have this exact boot. I barely wear them though. I know you’ll beat them into beauty before I do. Show me these soon please.

[@ChaoteLab]

Thanks! Im one of those who looked for a Roberts review! I greatly appreciate your efforts.

[@MasterofPlay7]

how does it compare to white's or franks?

[@Condor1970]

I ordered 11EE, and I'm 11.5EE on the Brannock scale at the local shoe store. Is that the same size as your foot? Are they still feeling really big?

[@davepaek5014]

Great video. If it's still big, try Dale's Leather Works' leather insoles. He offers them in three different thickness.

[@senoucisenouci5605]

Is it heavy?

[@Shadowmoon999]

Hey you got a wicket n Craig in burgundy I wanted to see wat there veg tan looks like was thinking of getting a pair u kno wat color leather is used in there display online

[@chrislarsen1033]

I enjoyed the video . Where did you get the hat?

[@JCDemoModels]

If you ordered your boots with the Spenco insert they were likely built one width wider to compensate for the added thickness. Put them in and that should help on the loose fit.

[@keithjohnson5148]

JCDemoModels 10/4 I wasn’t aware of that.thank you. I’ll give it a shot and do a update after they break in

[@swankybubbles77]

Keith Johnson I was coming here to say that. They do make them slightly bigger if you order the insert which would explain the loose fit without those in. Nice video thank you. I got the same pair last month, same leather. They feel great 👍

[@keithjohnson5148]

Beauford . Update I did add the insert and it corrected the fit.

[@JCDemoModels]

Excellent. Glad it worked out for you!

[@swankybubbles77]

Keith Johnson sweet enjoy my man. Best boot maker out there imo

[@nodieusa]

Damn those look so good! I should had considered that leather a little more...

[@ronkolb1335]

Keith, excellent choice. I have a pair of urban loggers that took 14 weeks to get. Mine took about 75hrs to break in 80%.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Ron Kolb actually re called nicks and they have sent me the wrong size boots and about to send them back to get the correct size

[@F.R.G317]

Just curious about sizing what's your brannock size vs the size you had ordered?

[@bmwresto]

Ordered my Roberts on 09/22. Anxiously awaiting them.

[@keithjohnson5148]

They are a amazingly built boot and I had to send my pair back last week as sizing was off but should be getting new pair in the next few weeks

[@tonyrevels4436]

Just ordered. Your video sealed the deal! Thanks!

[@keithjohnson5148]

Thank you sir

[@g-shockfan6149]

Great video. Honest n straight to the point. 😀

[@kaustuvbhattacharya1449]

Would love to see a side by side of the Roberts and Wilshires

[@VinylTherapy]

How do the franks fit, is there any wiggle room or are they snug? Thanks in advance.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Can’t really say as this pair was a full size to big .so I had way to much wiggle room .I no longer have these I sent them back and switched to franks

[@keithjohnson5148]

The franks fit amazing just enough wiggle room in the toes were they don’t feel cramped but no heel slip at all

[@VinylTherapy]

@@keithjohnson5148 excellent, thank you.

[@optimal8155]

Thanks for the on feet look. I’m not sure why it’s so hard for guys doing boot reviews to include on on feet.

[@vincentorona163]

What were the specification that Nicks couldn’t accommodate??? Just curious...

[@keithjohnson5148]

Far as the work boots I needed a safety composite toes and eh rated sole

[@charlesbronson240]

Best boots money can buy. Anything more expensive is overpriced or so nice that they’re pieces of art.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Charles Bronson Yes sir well said. These feel amazing can’t wait for them to break In

[@swankybubbles77]

Charles Bronson Totally agree.

[@Kingfisher1215]

Charles Bronson I think some bookmakers in Scapoose might have a say about that.

[@VinylTherapy]

Thanks for the review. Did you do the foot tracing where they send you a test boot? Thanks again, they look awesome.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Yes sir I did.unfortunately they got the size wrong and I had to send them back

[@gqfiend]

@@keithjohnson5148 noooooooooo! So I won’t see a follow up!?!

[@1979augistine]

Definitely wanting roberts or falcons or travelers fine looking boots 👢 for sure good buy

[@jawnsushi]

I think I'm going to order a pair of these but I'm having a hard time deciding between soles and the brown or predator orange. Is this brown a work leather option?

[@keithjohnson5148]

Yes the brown would be good.also define work, if ur working a more labor intensive job I wouldn’t recommend this style of boot .a inside job would be perfect tho.

[@daveybob7272]

I Really Want The Robert Veg Tan. It Is $650 Now 😬 but They Are A Beauty. I Am Really On The Fence Because Whites 350 Cruiser is $585. These Will Be Casually Used. What Are Your Recommendations?

[@keithjohnson5148]

Hey David, Before I give u my opinion I want to say both boots are amazing and with proper care will last for years.with that said I know I would personally go with the whites as the customer service with nicks was not the best with my order.also even after the sizing my foot getting my try on pair then re waiting for my boots to made they were a full size to big.and nicks basically didn’t not want to go a full size down to make it right,wich lead me to cancel my order,and go to franks boots wich every pair they have got right the fist time.I can say tho the leather nicks is using is from wickett and Craig tannery and is the same leather I use for my leather business simply because it is amazing.whites uses a weather resistant leather wich is oil tanned.both leathers are good .veg tanned leather will patina quicker and nicer but is more upkeep.if I was in your shoes for the two options I would look into whites.but also look for my video on the wilshire boots I wanna say they are $535. And simply amazing and now that they are fully broken in are like slippers on my feet.let me know if this helps or if I can help with anything else. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@daveybob7272]

@@keithjohnson5148 Hey Man Thanks For The Detailed Explanation. I'm Going To Lean Towards The Whites As My Casual Daily Boot, I'm Leaving Sneakers Pretty Much. I Am Really Interested In Frank's To Be My Next Work Boot. I Didn't Know About Them Till Now. I Had To Follow Your Channel Thanks For Reaching Out.

Such awesome boots 😍

[@keithjohnson5148]

Thank you bud

[@bonifaciomagdiwang1697]

How many weeks to ship your boots?

[@keithjohnson5148]

Hey bud I don’t work for nicks. Just did a review on these boots , wich I no longer own due to sizing issues but all in all takes 3-4 months to receive them after paid. Hope this helps

[@howardp924]

Did you ever get to eat that pizza? Have a couple of pairs of Nicks 10D and JK's 9 1/2 Average. I have a pair of Frank's on order 9 1/2D. Wear 10 1/2E in Danners or other off the shelf boots. I think people overthink the sizing too much. A half size is what about 1/8" to 3/16" or so. Watch all your videos. Great hat.

[@whostheman99]

Hi wow awesome boots! Can you share what lasts and arch support are these?

[@keithjohnson5148]

Hey bud these were built off of a 55 last and the arch is just what I believe they call the high arch lol. Amazing boots but sadly I had to return them and take my business to franks due to sizing issues.and I’m so glad I did

[@KuddlyKrazies]

I see you go the whip behind you

[@MachineGod69]

Nicks says too always sit when putting boots on, with your heel down and toes pointed in the air. And then you lace those bad boys up!! No more heel slip.😉✌️

[@keithjohnson5148]

Indeed they do and thats how I was doing it.only later to find out they were in fact a full size to big,only for me to have send back and take my business to franks boots.with that said I still feel they make amazing boots daily,but for that fitting reason and customer service I’ll continue taking my money elsewhere.

[@gqfiend]

My heel slip is gone at this point.

[@andrewfried3144]

The front and the back of the heel measures the same. Therefore it is wrongly made. The back is always higher n the back unless it is a very low heel last

[@Will-yp6ny]

Great review but the hat screwed it all up. Great choice on the boots though.

[@gqfiend]

Yeah, they size folks with a whole thumb sideways of room past your toe.

[@bobsmith-ji2uh]

Thats disappointing they didnt fit. I just ordered from them and have the fit kit coming. Makes me a little nervous they didnt get the sizing right. Thats the whole point.

[@keithjohnson5148]

Yea exactly.once I had to send them back they said they can build me three different size boots and after broken in they would all fit the same.soooo not sure why if that’s the case I had to spent extra for the custom fit???? But with franks they don’t charge extra for the custom sizing.and they nailed it first shot .also nicks are a amazing boot company not saying they aren’t just my experience was not so good

[@bobsmith-ji2uh]

Keith Johnson I guess I’ll find out. Live and learn.

[@Kingfisher1215]

Nice boots. Had coworkers who swore by Nicks but they used the work boots. And wore the hell out of them. Landfills are full of bad stuff and leach and those boots would hold up for two years of daily wear. Some other guys swore by Whites. If guys are buying Nicks or Whites or Wescos to show off to their friends during their weekly pub crawl then they are wasting money.
