The lady on that sewing machine is a magician! I’d have a heart attack trying to sew that shell together and she owns it.. wow! Very talented.

[@mudmug1]

Agreed

[@joe_ferreira]

Those nails are also popping. ❤

[@renatoetzi]

Eh, don't you see the sloppy stitches all over the place.

[@jgarcia237]

That was aweful stitching if you ask me. I saw better works in Japan hand made bespoke leather shoes whos very precise on stitching work.

[@WC4DOOR]

The guy with the knife should get a raise

[@hv4285]

I'm here to admire the craftmanship, the boots themselves are beautiful of course, but the skillful labour and precise quality control from these people is a sight to behold.

[@Kenny-yl9pc]

What a waste of beautiful leather... I mean if you gonna use such good leather then why not make a truly beautiful and high-quality leather sole with stacked leather heel-block? Such a waste...

Incredible how a company specialized in work boots puts "high end" brands to shame whenever it tackles luxury products using real luxury materials. Nicks is the best. with no sacrifice and well worth the price.

[@D20NE]

Dude who traces the pattern in the opening video must have crazy anxiety. His nails make my fingers hurt

[@benjaminkenobi21]

Which other “high end” brands that use luxury leathers like shell does Nick’s put to shame?

[@pbenjlo]

@@benjaminkenobi21 that's the issue there. Most well established luxury brands don't even use good quality leather. For example, LV is one of the worst out there using cheap materials that age poorly. Now if we compare Nicks to Viberg that often use exotic leathers, I think Nicks is doing a fine job even if it's not as refined in execution in details. I'd take both anyway

[@harryhaller6998]

@@pbenjlo Lowa, Hanwag, Zamberlan

[@pbenjlo]

@@harryhaller6998 I don't think they ever use cordovan and even though it's "handmade" they are using lots of synthetic materials you wouldn't call luxury.

I am completely hypnotized by both the workmanship and the mirror finish of that leather!

[@simonwale6993]

There's a niche for this type of boots at this price range.

@@simonwale6993 Yes, a niche for people with a large amount of expendable cash. If these were 6-7 hundred, I would be a buyer as I can't find boots to fit my freak feet.

Being from Spokane, I’m glad to see these local craftsmen making such a fine product.

Exlusive edition from Rose Anvil $2500 is coming cut in quarters and it’s gonna be shipped in four Lego boxes so you have to figure it out how to put them together, it’s fun and it’s one of a kind 😆

[@PapaGoodTymes]

I ordered my pair of Builder Pros because of Rose Anvils review, and I'm guessing many others did too. His channel is really awesome, especially since good boots aren't cheap and he lets ya know what's worth having and what's not. Good for Weston, I'd say he's earned them. I just hope he doesn't cut them in half. Haha

[@AssEater-kx4li]

Been waiting for boots for 6 months still nothing

Ya it’s a shame to see him cut nicks boots. Especially as they have videos showing how they’re made. Cool videos anyway

NIce!! This video was released almost simultaneously with Rose Anvil 2's video yesterday on these boots, which I watched and loved so much.. These were probably the ones Nick's made for him, based on their info. at the top. They are simply amazing! Phenomenal!

[@fraa888grindr6]

I've watched dozens of Nick's boots made online and some day it will be hundreds. It never gets old.

Craftsmen in a dyeing trade building those Nicks boots. It is an absolute pleasure to watch these boots come together. Built as tough as nails yet as beautiful to look at as fine lace . Kudos and a big cheers to the tradesmen/women at Nicks!

it's less of a dyeing trade more of a tanning trade 🤣

Had mine for 13 years now and absolutely love them

[@JWnFlorida]

Art work. Absolutely beautiful.

[@vettepilot427]

What I like about this is that the attention to detail and construction are exactly the same as their “regular” boots. Nicks Boots are Nicks Boots no matter what material they’re made from.

[@rastislavstanik]

with shell cordovan you have to be even more careful, it can be sort of brittle sometimes and break

[@hexerey]

​@@rastislavstanik doesn't sound like it's good the way you describe it. Is there any benefits to it that make it worth the hefty price?

That is the most beautiful leather I have ever seen.

[@beagledadtrucker]

Gorgeous boots, great job!

[@568843daw]

My uncle was a Commercial electrician. He had big feet. He paid $1,200 for each set of boots and he bought 2 pair. They lasted over 20 years. He bought them in the early 1990’s. He used to say “You cannot put a price on happy feet”. Tradesman in the Commercial Electrical and Plumbing trades earn 6 figure incomes. Boots that fit well are as important as the hand tools you own and use. $2,000 is worth having happy feet. If you cannot afford it up front, save your cash until you can buy a pair or have them made by a local boot maker. Don’t skimp people. 😉👍

[@dejayhughes2050]

Absolutely amazing to watch such fine craftsmanship.

[@ThomasShue]

Beautiful boots and only a dream to think I would be able to own a pair like that in my lifetime

[@saxonforge]

Firstly, the quality and craftsmanship are truly superb. I've been working in industry as a machine builder/ fitter and mechanic for over 30 years. Working people buy the best that they can afford because they are on their feet all day. This level of extravagance however is something I have never seen in the real working world.

[@gergemall]

[@peterj.9360]

As you can see exactly these shoes are produced by skilled workers, a large part even by hand. This requires a good eye that sees exactly how to perform each operation correctly. I think these are super well-paid workers, it's a pity you can't see the car parking lot because you would definitely see cars like sports stars who have only the best of the best.
