Amazing video! That's the first pair of Buck Brown Double Stuffed in the wild. Congrats! Your Nicks Factory Tour video is crushing it! Great job!

[@GentlemansJourney]

Super proud to be rocking this new leather. It gets compliments daily! What a great boot you guys have here! Love working with you all.

[@nicksboots]

@@GentlemansJourney It's amazing leather for sure!

[@williamlychack3976]

Those boots look crazy-great, that's for sure!! (Anyone out there who's reading this and thinking of buying a pair, you'll need to go to the "collections" tab to make a customized pair. If you just go to ULogger customization tab, the leather doesn't show up. I wrote an email inquiry and was told the option wasn't available. Being undaunted, or stupidly inspired, I called this morning and Lou helped me find the Collections workaround.) (Not that I've bitten the bullet on the purchase yet, but that's a different story...)

They also have a moderate heel, which is more traditional. The logger heels are awesome for working on high angles like wild land firefighters and sawyers often do.

Love how customizable they are!! Appreciate ya watching the video and hope you come along for the journey. Thanks for the comment.

[@danisnotstan1]

@@GentlemansJourney I'm pretty sure the Urban Logger is the same boot as the Robert with a different sole. The UL has V-100 and the Robert has V-Bar.

[@jtee5957]

Love my urban drifters (lower heel version of what you have). My only issue after about five hikes is the relatively shallow heel cup doesn't hold the back of the foot as firmly as I like when wearing thick socks. I need to use the top eyelets to steady foot enough for climbing over rocks and such. I think that situation will improve as the foot sinks into the insole more deeply.

[@GentlemansJourney]

You feel it’s a size issue or something else. That’s a great boot. Cheers for watching mate! 🥾🥾

Oh man, those are great! I ordered a pair of the UL's in 8", also the 55 last, logger heel, and brown waxed flesh. That buck brown color of yours is awesome. You are going to have to compare these to your Frank's boot as well. Enjoy and wear them in good health!

[@GentlemansJourney]

Well now their lead times are 18-35 weeks and currently their black cxl leather is on material delay. Oh man, something tells me I wont get my boots till summer of 2023. They're getting very popular now so just want to give you guys a heads up. Great video bro!

I ordered my Nick's May 6th, 2022, I received them November 7th. But, mine were fully custom, MTO. They have their other options, like the Quick Ship where you'll get you boots much faster, you're just limited to their standard models and sizes.

[@duaneschwab8869]

I've owned my Nicks Urban Logger for roughly 1.5 years. Used Nicks try on custom fit. Try on boots fit so well I didn't want to send them back. At the time it took 6 months for my boot build. I went with the waxed flesh 8 inch honey lug sole and added the loop. I could not be more impressed, they looked incredible. They fit even better. I did Nicks recommended break-in. For me, the break-in was easy enough. After spending a year and half working hunting and hiking in this boot, I can't believe how well they fit my feet. The insole has a perfect impression that my foot fits into. I used my government stimulus money to purchase my boots. Can't tell you how happy I am that the money stayed in America. If we have to pay back $3124532990364755 in national debt as of 11/11/2022 at least my portion went to stimulate the US economy, not plastic crap from China. By the way that number works out to $93732 for every person in America. This is a real boot, built by real Americans.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Love this comment so much, gotta wonder where the other 🤑💰💵… at any rate, God bless America and good on you for supporting the workers over at Nicks. Solid review of these awesome boots mate and hope you stick around for my other videos! 🥾🥾

[@GentlemansJourney]

First off, great boot mate. I love that waxed flesh. I am not finding the break in process to be bad at all either. Not a machismo thing but I typically don't complain about the break in process of boots, maybe I have a unnatural pain tolerance?? At any rate, I love the boots. I was wearing a pair of 5.11. I just did a Livsn pant video and love those as well. I certainly don't have a "go to" pant at this point. I honestly get a kick out of Carhartt pants but they don't always have a fashion look to them. I think Livsn and 5.11 put out some good gear. I also like my Levi pants in green and brown.

I’ve been looking at Nicks boots for a long time now. Love everything about them. My only concern is that I’m not sure how my foot will do with a higher arch boot like these. I’ve never worn a boot with a logger heel. Only thing that concerns me with pulling the trigger on them. Wish I lived closer so I could actually try a pair on

[@GentlemansJourney]

Maybe opt for their trial boot, they send it out to you to try on. Also, I'd say go for it mate! I love the high arch. If it's just the heel your wanting to test, run into a boot store and try a high heel boot, say a western boot or a logging boot from another company. I love the heck out of mine. Lastly, thanks for watching the video!

[@sergior.carreno5568]

You can get a boot with the HNW last,which its contoured like a logger heel. ( Block heel,but shaped like a logger)its on the custom options,i think its called a dogger heel. Just received my builder pro with this heel and they look great,better than with a block.

I have a pair of Nick's Robert boots, and I personally would have a really hard time getting them on without the pull loop, but I also have a pretty wide foot. Once it's in I'm good, but getting it there is a struggle!

[@mcbridecreek]

I’ve worn Whites starting in 1981. I have a pair of packers with a pretty high heel. You have to be careful in the winter. As you take a step and plant the heel first, be sure not to slip on ice. Other than that obvious problem, the arch support really helps your back and posture. I’m 61 now and love my boots. I may have to try out a set of Nicks next.

Kinda makes me not wear them much at all anymore... very sad!! Nick's says it's "normal" and just wear them... my complaint is if it's normal, whey is it only 1 of my boots that squeaks?

Some of the Facebook groups talk about the squeaking from some of the PNW companies. I think putting some powder in them helps. Even some rebuilds have had mixed reviews. At any rate, this is something I'll bring up in future discussions with these companies when I'm with them. Cheers Eric

[@ericmoss8344]

@@GentlemansJourney perhaps it's just the luck-of-the-draw for squeaking or not. I've tried some powder and it hasn't really done anything, but for some it may.

Really makes me hesitate in buying another pair of custom boots that I don't get to try on first.

FANTASTIC VIDEO TO LOOK. GREAT LONGERS, LOVE IT PANT FITTING ALSO GOOD. WANT MORE VIDEOS

[@GentlemansJourney]

Hey appreciate that! A video is coming out today. Thanks for watching 🥾🥾

[@TheBigbake01]

Would you say that your iron rangers are a little wider? I have a pair in 7EE and they broke I’m now there too loose. I have a pair of nicks urban loggers ordered at the same size but I’m wondering if EE is too wide.

[@TheBigbake01]

I also seen when you fitted at nicks you were a 11 E, how come you went too a 11d?

[@GentlemansJourney]

Thanks for reaching out on Insta. Appreciate having you around on the channel!! Be sure to send me some pictures when you finally get your Nicks!

[@lancecowburn1693]

Is that standard Buck Brown or Double Stuffed Buck Brown? Also, love the video🤙🏻

[@GentlemansJourney]

Double Stuffed Buck Brown! Appreciate the kind words, putting a ton into these videos. Catch ya on the next one.

[@lancecowburn1693]

@@GentlemansJourney I gotta say, those boots are awesome! I love the look of that leather. I just bought 3 pairs of Nick's(Travelers, Overlanders, and Overlanders Moc Toe) all in 1964 Brown and all 8". Received all 3 within 2 weeks of each other in October. Anyway, I think my next pair will be in Double Stuffed Buck Brown🤙🏻

[@wbwills2]

Rotate&your set for a long time!

[@williamlychack3976]

How did you choose between Double Stuffed Buck Brown and the Waxed Flesh? I was convinced I'd just get the Waxed Flesh, but now I love the look of your boots. (I only get one pair of these, and I can't go to Spokane to see the real thing.) Thanks for any insights.

[@KingPhilipF]

Em look good

[@GentlemansJourney]

Yup

[@KingPhilipF]

@GentlemansJourney how are those lugs walking around? They look bulky sitting there but on foot they don't look so large. Odd question but for everyday use how are they?

[@GentlemansJourney]

@@KingPhilipF Great question. This stuff will come out in the one year review as well. However, they are certainly not an every day boot. These are largely based on a work boot meant to go into the woods and do work. The Urban side does not shine through near as much as the Logger side. If you need an every day boot maybe do the Americana or the Urban Drifter? These are a bit much for running around. Very heavy and bulky for sure. I love them but not an everyday boot.

[@kalebabel1348]

I have a pair but mine are an 8" height and cap toe in brown waxed flesh

[@GentlemansJourney]

What a boot!! Thanks for watching.

[@ZephyrRandD]

I'm going to be "that guy". I would love to see what @Frank's Boots could build that looks better then Nick's? I do really like the looks of Nick's the best out of the PNW boots, but my gut just keeps at me to go with Frank's.

[@GentlemansJourney]

Certainly can't go wrong either direction! Appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch my video!! Cheers Zephyr.

[@wbwills2]

. Do youGut is right most always

[@bobsmith-ji2uh]

They’re probably equal quality but you might get your order a little faster from Franks. Nicks customer service has been good in my experience but Franks has been really excellent as well. I’ve emailed them with questions and they’ve actually called me back to talk about it. Again though you can’t go wrong with either.

[@HeritageCast]

Franks Wilshire is very similar. The photos are lame they need a professional photographer there at Franks Boots. But much of what Nicks currently offers is inspired in some way from Frank.

[@blackwingvisuals5017]

Constructive criticism! Optimization data you understand! Those boots are too high for your gate! Hooker in the wrong heals effect! As a modifier of my own boots I have experienced this personally. Great video as usual though thanks man :)

[@GentlemansJourney]

Thanks for watching 🥾🥾

[@chrishuber4853]

It's not that I don't have confidence that they would send me the right size, it's the fact I can't compare different arches, widths, heels, or whatever. That's the part that bugs me. Totally sucks. No fault of anyone, but it really does suck.

[@GentlemansJourney]

I imagine they can send you more than one loaner test boot, same size but different arch profiles?? couldn't hurt to ask. I certainly understand your pain! I am very blessed to have been into these stores in person. Best of luck!

[@chrishuber4853]
