While most boots are meant to be thrown away after a few months, Nicks are built to last. When your boots start to need some servicing, you can send them in to have them resoled or completely rebuilt! Nicks Handmade Boots are serviceable and last years longer than a mass-produced boot. Since 1964, Nicks has been making the highest quality boots on the market, right here in Spokane Washington. If you're tired of your old work boots wearing out, upgrade to Nicks and enjoy the most comfortable boots on the market.

Im Freakin' out.. I dont know what it is... But something was different about this Video. could it possibly be that nick Boots Just Built Me the Boots that i will Live in and sleep in ...all jokin' aside , thank you Grant , and all the attention to detail from all who touched these time capsules , this really means alot to me that you help me with this , love and Gratitude .

[@themarkofgod]

Понятно что кожа уже отжила свой срок, но подошва ботинок меня огорчила. Зачем ставить заводскую резиновую подошву без шипов которые выделяли обувь? Если переделывать , то не изменяя оригинал.

[@WolfMimirMori]

It makes me happy to see that you show that mistakes do happen, but that you do fix them. Not everything can go flawlessly all the time after all! Gosh I'd do almost anything to be able to order from you without import and shipping costs to the EU.

[@kd5byb]

I totally agree - awesome to see mistakes included. We're all human. We all make mistakes. :)

[@TylerSnyder305]

Great work as always, but do you have to turn every boot into a pair of Nicks? It would have been cool to see the original hardware in reused, with a new leather sole instead of the vibram. I'm betting Viberg no longer makes boots this way, and to preserve that would have been cool.

[@stevenlaxton3618]

Watching you sand away the ledge around the sole you had me worried I was thinking "oh no Buckin ain't gonna like looking down at that monstrous shelf" but you really narrowed it in...looks amazing!! Great work guys and I can't wait to see him get those back

[@galou0090]

Nicks, can you show us more resoles instead of rebuilds, please?

[@Vinnies.Big.Adventure]

I agree!

[@chrisunfocused]

You can just watch the video from the part where they have the midsole attached. For a resole they just pull the outsole off and glue another one on. It's not that interesting.

[@TylerSnyder305]

@@chrisunfocused I think what he means I just a resole instead of turning every boot into a nicks. They make great quality good looking boots, but these really had something cool about them that's gone now. The leather soles with toe plate and spikes...etc , and the years of honest wear on the vamp and counter cover. I get that it's not what they do, but the history of these boots could have been preserved and they'd have been so much cooler.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

I am a Logger/Faller and have wanted a pair of your calk Logger boots for ever, but with raising a family and paying the bills there just never seems to be enough $ left over to pay for a pair. Thanks so much for this Video it was so fun to watch how you go about repairing a pair. We put our boots and feet thru hell everyday on the mountain and it's nice to see the attention to detail you provide the guys on the west Coast. Thanks Again.

I’m willing to bet that if it had been a normal customer and not a KZbinr wanting those boots rebuilt, Nicks would’ve turned them down!

[@meemee6270]

Does anyone know if the max support leather is more supportive than the 1964 leather, or is it that they are equally as supportive just that the 1964 leather is easier to break in?, I just want a more supportive boot in the long run

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

Ok! another comment ,, that man smackin' them beautiful Nails in that heal stack of animal skin , nice work and thank you .

[@HakureiMikko]

That's pretty cool. Question, however, how come you stitch over the sole lugs? Seems quite fragile. I would assume running a knife through the lugs along the expected stitch pattern so the thread can rest in a trench would work better for longevity?

[@moeck14]

The type of stitch is a lock stitch which combines thread from the top and bottom of the boot. Even if it wears away it is unlikely to come undone because of the locking thread. In addition, the glue is very unlikely to fail making a channel unnecessary

[@muddyrovermc]

Where can I get those metal toe plates from?? I’m an amputee and constantly wear down the right toe/tread of my boots. My dress shoes have triumph plates but trying to find the metal plates for boots has been difficult… love the videos!!!

[@mrblack5145]

Surely it wouldn't be hard to make your own with some sheet metal, a file, and some punches. They may not be as elegant but it would work.

[@JDanielsOffGrid]

Possibly in a "SHOE FINDINGS" Catalog. Meanwhile this is on Amazon. (6 Pair of Eagle Brand Size 3XL Metal Heel Plates & Nails) Might be a lead. Good luck.

Great work as always. But why you put modern vibram sole instead of old sole with nails and spikes? May be it more practical but it was ruined the vintage spirit.

[@g.alysan2636]

While I admired watching the technical restoration process I was then surprised with negative emotions when I saw the placement of the new sole with Crosses as a pattern. Crosses under the sole? The one who will wear these marks will tread under his feet ... the Cross. Okay. Question. Are there no other design patterns for the soles? Why is the Cross chosen as a motif? Is there a specific reason? Where does this come from? Is it due to... ignorance? Either yes or no there is a lot of responsibility for it. I will say it more clearly so you can understand. If they put your or other countries flag as a pattern under the soles and people stepped on them wouldn't that be insulting and demeaning to the symbol of a nation of a people? Really if you put the islamic crescent as a pattern under the soles would you? I do not think... 30 or 40 years ago there were no soles with Crosses under the feet for people to step on. I have to say that this unfortunately offends the faith of Christians insanely to the utmost degree as blasphemy, the Holy Cross of my faith as an Orthodox Christian as well. I wish you the best and all the best. I apologize for my English as it is from google translation.
