That was quickly stopped when the realization of the amount of radiation being radiated all around and the company took the device back.

@@kelliegrase4658no, in harsh environments they're still going to wear out pretty quick. General labor you'd likey get longer life out of them than most boots up to a few hundred dollars. But put them in heavy construction, deep well drilling jobs, any place they're exposed to abrasion, heavy moisture or chemicals and they're going to break down and fail the same as any other boot. Myself and a lot of guys I know don't shell out big bucks on boots when we know we'll be working in environments with those elements (even if only occasionally) and go for something mid range to get decently constructed and comfortable, but leaves more money on the table for the inevitable replacement. It's a value over performance case. Point of diminishing returns and all that.

The loggers that ran down the Penobscot River here in Maine got their boots for when they signed up for the job, and they paid them off after a week of trips down the river. Most of the loggers in those times no matter where they were got most of their supplies from the company stores and slowly worked them off. And in case you're curious, the $545 boots shown in this video, would have cost about $15 in 1900. Loggers in 1900 worked up to 18 hour days, up to 60 hours weekly. And they took home a monthly salary of about $75 for your mid level worker. These boots would have been the equivalent of feeding a family of 10 for two weeks.

I wonder if gluing the liner with such amount of glue makes them less prone to evaporate moisture

I'm actually scared of wearing these shoes, the fact that it takes that much nails and screws scares the hell out of me. What if something heavy AF drops on your feet and those nails and screws go through your feet instead of damaging the shoes. LOL
@Totemparadox2 жыл бұрын
Then you don't understand this boots construction. The only place that has nails in it is the heel and you cannot drop heavy objects on your heel. The rest of your leg is in the way. The screws aren't under your feet, they're on the sides.

How can it be "the world's toughest construction boot" when you wouldn't even be allowed to wear them on a construction site? They don't have steel toe caps.

No steel toe cap, no sole protection, probably no heel protection on the back, and it cost about 5 times than regular boots that has all of the things it needs to have.

Again; great boot build. The only thing I would add is a layer of crepe or bloom in between leather mild sole and hard out sole. I work standing on concrete and have feet issues.

I don't make shoes but do work in a factory environment. This seems incredibly labour intensive for something in a developed country. In particular the bit about 18:50 with the screws being put in. I would certainly want to mechanise it and change to a single action stamping of multiple metal bits at once...
@Totemparadox2 жыл бұрын
You seem to be very confused about the ideology behind Nicks boots. The market is FULL of machine made modern shoes. These are hand made ON purpose using the toughest materials around. The process isn't meant to be the most efficient, but as close to the classic methods as possible.

One day, Nick and crew, one day. I'm about to move from Seattle down to Waco, so headed the wrong direction, I suppose, but I'll fly back up and come see you soon. There is no substitute for American hand-made, and yall set the bar. It's comforting to know you're there doing what you're doing, when most of the world is racing to the bottom. One day soon. See you then.
