The fact that there are still people working like this in American-for some reason-gives me hope for the future. That’s surprising too because I work in the trades and see guys busting it everyday. But seeing craftsmen and craftswomen making high quality products does my heart good.

My grandfather made shoes. He catered to making orthopedic shoes. Crazy story was the time someone lent the store a machine to see the bones in your feet with X-rays as live image, see toes wiggle. 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.

Bellissimo lavoro di artigianato. L'unica critica che posso fare è che la cucitura fatta senza il canale in pianta di riferimento tende a consumarsi e quindi a rompersi. Questo non credo che vada a pregiudicare la tenuta con la scarpa visto che ci sono tutti i punti che sono posti fra i vari spazzi del battistrada e questo senza contare le viti che sono state inserite nel finale. In ogni caso davvero un ottimo lavoro.

Others like my brother, a size 12, has more trouble. I've had some cheap boots for sure that fell apart within months without even everyday use. Sometimes I shoe goo them and get a few years of part time use. I have about 5 pairs of shoes/boots I rotate depending on my needs for the day. Right now I'm in Hilfiger deck shoes from Burlington coat factory. Great for hot weather when you're working indoors or doing light outdoor work. The soles are too thin for anything more serious. I have some steel toe Scetchers for heavier duty stuff plus a few pairs of work boots for the really brutal stuff. In the winter I often wear insulated rubber muck boots that are easy to slide off when going in and out and unbeatable waterproof protection.

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 can see these are great boots, however as a mason I've tried all kinds of boots and none of them can hold up to cement constantly falling on your shoes. It's unavoidable, not to mention getting wet and drying out on those rainy days, or working in mud on a foundation and etc..., it just destroys leather in a short while. I've paid for high price boots before and they don't hold up much better. I wear out at least one pair a year, maybe sooner, now I just go with what works for me now that I'm older; boots with a zipper, so much easier to get off and on.

@@brandonevans4142 Why are people making over a hundred grand still living paycheck to paycheck? Because they are weak and stupid. They buy shit they don’t need, but complain about the price of quality American made goods. You are the problem, not the solution. I would gladly support Nicks boots if they made them in a big enough size for me. What’s your excuse?

A lot of manual work may not say quality, but it results in high cost. More modern boots have more efficient materials and processes. Being lighter they are more comfortable. Eventually at a lower cost

I agree that the craftsmanship is spectacular. What amazes me though even when I worked for Frye boot is the lack of safety features on the machines. I wonder how many fingers are sewn by mistake or other injuries? I quit Frye cause the equipment was old and dangerous.

@@cuebj Lots of cotton is still getting harvested by hand. In many cases, the cutting process is also made by hand. So is the labelling, sewing and ironing as well as processes like sandblasting. Of course, this will not take as much time as these shoes (especially because of better efficiency), but it’s still hard physical work. And absolutely comparable to the effort you see here. Especially to more complicated clothes like coats or winter jackets.

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.

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...

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.
