World's Toughest Chelsea Boots: How It's Made - Nicks Boots

The NEW Nicks Chelsea Boots:
nicksboots.com/new-arrivals/c...
Nicks Chelsea Boots pack the dependable Nicks durability into a pull-on style boot. These boots are easy to get on and off, are held closed with elastic, and are built for years of wear. The Nicks Chelsea comes in work and heritage versions, built for both on the job and off.
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.

I love seeing these craftsmen/craftswomen doing their thing. So satisfying. I bought my first pair of Nicks a couple weeks ago and was so impressed I bought a second pair which arrives next week. I wonder how soon I order my third pair. Incredible products.

[@aprilfox1057]

Perfection. No doubt a tried and tested design formula. Great work Nicks.

[@TheLazyTitan]

These look amazing! I just placed my first order with Nicks and went with moc toe wedge boots for the wife and I. These just made the short list for a 2nd purchase.

[@darrenwall5439]

Awesome stitching work 💚 Nearly new boot day 💚💚

[@Ives1776]

Cowboy boots next Nicks, come on now! Do it! We’re waiting! 😆

[@rheubixcube]

I cannot wait for those babies to be on my feet! Always wanted a pair of my boots in one of these videos! Now it happened and I'm pumped! Thanks again Grant for all the help!

[@patricklord1388]

Game changer for us old folks, damn with them laces.. Good call for nick's for making these chelsea, just order a pair in veg tan. Got me excited!

[@1979augistine]

These are great . Congratulations on the new boot drop

[@edchayphone7545]

Amazing video brother

[@karencox3235]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@chadgraber4575]

Can't wait for all the YT shoe/boot channel reviews of these bad boys!

[@Maciste982]

Excelente, magnífic work 👊

[@MemphisCorollaS]

This looks like a substantially higher amount of stitch work compared to the other boot build videos. Thanks for all the content.

[@elliotfko]

Great boot construction. I hope get one pair of nick´s in the future

[@soggycracker5934]

These are one heck of a temptation.

[@DM-ll7he]

Awesome work, very impressive.

[@ericvault]

I'm a tree worker and often my clients will invite me into their homes before or after the job. I've had to decline a few times because I didn't want to track mud into their homes. It will be nice to have a rugged pair of work boots that I can quickly slip off in scenarios like these. Just ordered, thank you!

[@nadankisetting5932]

O ö ödesl

[@andelkoopacak3840]

What a beautiful pair of boots

[@thedirtygot9570]

Outstanding!

[@ditzydoo4378]

I've been wearing Chelsea work boots for quite a number of years. They are tough yet forgiving on the feet of the wear

[@kentbrooks4224]

JUST BEAUTIFUL

[@petem7118]

Beautifully crafted….. very robust and definitely a tough boot….was there any consideration in the ‘toughening’ of the elastic cuffs ? Thank you for sharing.

[@PapaStitch]

Phenomenal craftsmanship! Where can I get some of the hand tools you're using? I'd love to get my hands on a couple of them.

[@mattbrown3801]

Nice looking pair of boots

[@sepilokfui]

I would without a doubt buy a pair of this boot.

[@proaudiorestore8926]

Great looking boot

[@matauka.f.mufungulwa64]

Sheeesh I can't even afford these right but I'm definitely getting several pairs when I can, excellent craftmanship

[@josemelomimba2608]

Muito top essa bota gostei muito 👏👏👏👏

[@kunlegrant2764]

OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP 😎👍✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@BGMofo]

Two pair please and thank you. ¿When will you post this offering on your website? Nevermind … I see them now. So used to looking hiking boots I never thought to look at all of your offerings.

[@wave2k868]

Love the thought of these. Only thing holding me back is the curse of skinny ankles, as there is no laces to pull tight the fit would be loose at best . My feet are a regular length and width but it's just the ankles . Wish there was an option to adjust the opening size

[@ericvault]

You might try out some cheap chelsea boots first as a test. Ive worn a few different styles of Chelseas and have never had a problem. My ankles are as small as they come. 🤷‍♂️

[@marcosrodrigues9415]

Chique show 👍👍!!!

[@LUNARWIL3441]

NICKS ❤️ ✌️ las mejores botas 👢 del mundo 🌎

[@user-il9ze9py8c]

These are the perfect chelsea boots.

[@abooshade]

I liked this shoe and I want someone similar to it

[@TheRaizerx]

Guys - you should make a 8” or 10” Chelsea.

[@ThomasSteed]

Damn, that could make a nice jodphur real quick. Swap the elastic for duel gussets and a quick strap or a slip buckle of some kind

Could anyone please explain what type of construction method this is? How is the sole attached to the shaft?

[@Jhobed]

Quedó una más alta que otra

[@emmanuelrodriguez848]

I thought Nicks was never going to make a Chelsea. Well, I guess that it is time to replace my officer order with these.

[@mikeisgettinupset]

That ending screams @TimTheTatman but the boot itself is a gorgeous creation.

[@burningmanmike]

Not sure if I like the window for the gore squared off at the base. It would look better rounded.

[@snorttroll4379]

think of getting your finger in thespinning knife. slice. ouch. btw is it just contact adhesive?

[@hanako147]

Nice boots I need one LoL😊

[@ladyeclectic]

How interesting, I’ve only ever seen you guys use glue but here you’re using double sided tape for the seams and connecting bits. Is this a new method you’re trying out? How do you like it vs the glue? Must be far less messy.

[@suitrBJ]

Awesome that Nick's are doing 'Chelsea Boots.' But almost criminally insane that there's no front pull tab. It's bad when dressy one's don't have but especially for a work boot not to have it is absolutely crazy. The cut out for elastic is (subjective) ugly The rectangular look is just bad. I feel Angling it off like it's done on RMs and Redbacks would look nicer. Otherwise very beautiful boot the height of the leather from heel up is Nice. But I feel the last should be flater for a good Chelsea boot.

[@MemphisCorollaS]

Maybe they could make a loop in the front instead of cutting that excess piece off in the process? It could be an option just like cap toe or rough out leather.

[@DIsmayedConfuse]

I agree on both the shape of the elastic cut-out and the heel height. I’m looking to buy a Chelsea boot for my son’s birthday. He’s just over 6’ 5” so a large heel is silly. Maybe this Nick’s Chelsea is meant for short folks.

[@starkeymorgan7481]

Those things are built like tanks!

[@jorm6194]

You glue the leather to the last but how do you later remove the last from the boot? I know everyone does that but I guess I've never thought to ask until now. This seems like a good place to ask lol.

[@Totemparadox]

They don't glue the leather to the last. The leather insole is tacked in place on the last with three nails that are removed when putting on the arch support.

[@silviodasilva1506]

Quero uma Bota destas

[@emreekinci8634]

Best 🥇

[@stevenguevara2184]

I added a pair of Nicks Boots to My Bucket list

[@kewintaylor7056]

Is this suede leather water resistant?

[@ophirb25]

So how do you they are the toughest, did you actually compared them with other brands, in your case with all brands, ir it is just because they are yours?

[@stephenoconnell6255]

I would like to see the price included in th videos

[@THE_REAL_VELIKAN]

I was wondering do you make size 13 and a half shoes and how much would they be?

[@nicksboots]

We do, and there is no price difference for different sizes)

[@princewilliams1538]

I would like to have a one-on-one class with you

[@luckyhobbit8894]

Gotta figure out my size and order a pair of these.

[@genome34]

why use a stitch down construction vs a Goodyear welt construction? wouldn't good year welt be much more sturdy?

[@Totemparadox]

The leather is 8oz on its own and goodyear welts gather dust and grime in the boot that accelerates wear. I like both types enough to not care if a boot is goodyear welted or not.

[@cheungzen4319]

cool

[@kevinemery1177]

It would take 2 weeks to break them puppies in. Beautiful work, true craftsmen

[@Joe___R]

It would be more economical to buy refillable butane lighters than disposable lighters over the course of a year. Have you just not thought about it, or is there a specific reason you still use disposable lighters?

[@Totemparadox]

The lighters cost literally nothing.

[@ZacTexC]

I’m sure that’s his own Bic lighter that also lights up his pipe after work. Bic lighters are the best.

[@Snugglez187]

I would want whoever assembled this upper to be the one making my pair of boots. Lots of care and attention to detail, vs some of them who just rip through the stitching super fast. It doesn't affect the durability of the boot, but I really appreciate straight, neat, even stitching in the finished product. Nice work. 👍🏻

[@petersaczko6192]

Now I want to eat apple pie.

[@nicksboots]

Nice

[@coblaze1]

Are y'all unionized?

[@user-oo1bj4fm7s]

СУПЕР!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@antigoogleman1135]

Love her tattoos.!

[@PASHKULI]

Why the sewing threads are exposed on the sole? They will be torn in no time.

[@flugit]

Been hoping you'd drop a Chelsea but I gotta say for me I don't see the value 530 bucks for a set of crummies is too much wesco makes crummies for 200$

[@Ludo---]

J'ai toujours du mal a compendre si les clous restent ou si vous les retirez....?

[@Michael-br1ul]

Can anyone confirm which leather this is in the video?

[@haystephen]

I’m guessing tan rough out

[@rheubixcube]

It's the tan max

[@chrisfournier6144]

Me likey!

[@haystephen]

Is that a heritage, work or custom Chelsea boot? Looks like a heritage boot with work leather.

[@rheubixcube]

I ordered max tan rough out with a vbar sole and heritage low heal

[@haystephen]

I was thinking about getting them in walnut rough out

[@pixxburgh420]

Is that a Der rer duhhderr

[@monsterslayer4317]

Toughest Chelsea indeed. That looks like 8 oz leather. Is that a ladie's last? Sure looks narrow. Sigh, another pair of Nick's I need to have...

[@jcmc6182]

Chelsea with a 55 last?

[@IonutStoican92]

Why is the stiching exposed on the sole? Wouldn't that make it wear out very fast?

[@randallrun]

Been wondering the same thing. All I can think of is, is that it doesn’t or they wouldn’t do it. But I honestly don’t know.

[@heverjesuscondecarlos4362]

EL MOLDE ESTA MAL HECHO O NO ES PARA ESA HORMA.

[@frankcatrini4816]

regular tan or 1964 tan?

[@1maico1]

The stitching on the vamp shows a stiffness that looks like the regular max support

[@walden9612]

i can't for the life of me understand how all the nails don't come out from the inside?? any one can explain that to me? the nails looks like half an inch at least, so they should be through and through?? also, when they stitch the sole, how do they keep it leakproof?

[@nicksboots]

Hey there, the nails hit a piece of metal on the last which crimps the nails. Once the last is taken out of the boot any remaining nail heads are stamped down and a liner is placed over them. Not all of our boots are water resistant. If you are in need of something with more water resistance I would take a look at our 365 stitched boots which use a rubber midsole and no nails. I hope this helps!

[@walden9612]

@@nicksboots yes it does sir! thank you for the response

[@slavikmarinin7786]

👍

[@kevinomalley1145]

Good chelsea boots should have pull tabs and a much wider elastic opening.

[@tetehmar_]

Though it is tough to make. I would never ever buy this kind of boot, and don't buy too. No lasting shoe the stretchable rubber which they put will turn a messy after some days... Lace shoe is far better than nothing

[@STALINGRAD97]

From Russia with love ✌️🇷🇺

[@pixxburgh420]

Yeah okay warmonger

[@mchichabdellatif2007]

Cucitura laterale e fatta male. Troppo staccata dal bordo. Deve essere inserita un po' sotto la dima della forma. E poi tutti e due cuciture sono apparente. Possono essere tagliate camminando. Se poteva fare una prima di attaccare la suola.

[@germansahidbeltranardila2985]

Huuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyiiii la verraquera

[@raybarrettomarrero4654]

Those chelsea boots are made with your round toe HNW last???...which appears on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6bTqY2Ao6qGqKs ...on this video you explain its features...Wait your answer...Thanks...Greetings...

[@christopherreichelt3303]

Solid material but bad construction, no goodyear welting and visible stitching throughout the sole, the stitching will fastly be damaged an the sole will take off.

[@nicksboots]

The stitching on the underside of the boot is made to wear away, it has no effect on the structure of the boot. We don't use a welt construction as we have in the past hand welted our boots and found that the stitch-down method is faster stronger and easier for rebuild.

[@danielq.4371]

Make a sneaker damit 😆😆. I'm tired of these flimsy nike shoes

[@Totemparadox]

NO.

This is cheating site don't order this shoes or chaplain am waiting more then 30 days that can't supply. very bad attitude...complete froud
