    Nicks Boots

    I find nick's to be more comfortable which is why I jumped ship. The construction of the arch is more time-consuming the way they do it and the arch feels not only fuller at first, but it holds up for years I've had 3 pairs for a while, work in a restaurant where I walk 5-8 miles a day, feet...

    They're Walnut actually. It's a rich dark brown. They're my favorite pair for hiking and all around.

    Nicks Boots

    It's on sale right now if you call in and ask for it. They have no site literature on it because they are building a new site to be based on their newer, bigger facility which will be capable of more production with the same standards, and pushing more online sales. I personally would never...

    Nicks Boots

    That is the new 5" boot with lowered block heel and more relaxed arch. I think Nick's can do a better product than White's from time to time. Have a close friend who switched from White's after his pull tabs broke almost right away on his new Bounty Hunters, then his second pair developed an...

    Nicks Boots

    I don't use shoe trees, in the boots. The combination of Obenauf's plus my rotating has proven to be enough. My toebox hasn't collapsed or anything. I use the extra thick oil-tanned leathers, and all my CXL/aniline stuff from Nick's usually has a toe cap which is self supporting.

    I'd use shoe trees before I wanted to avoid that. Celastic still collapses, just later if left on their own

     Sounds like a plan. Dont get celastic. You can feel it and it doesnt do much in the long run.

    Nicks Boots

    Look a couple pages back, they're only about a month old. They're very good for travelling light when you're not in the field. If you want a durable boot, I don't see the Robert failing, but if you want the benchmark of toughness, the Rangers as-is off the site + your modifications is probably...

    Nicks Boots

    He's foreign to the styleforum way. Basically he will try to fit you into a stock size boot in either brand before resorting to a custom fit. This eliminates the foot tracing process entirely, he'll still take measurements though just to confirm what will fit. Both Nick's and White's use the...

    Nicks Boots

    Sounds like you have my dealer in Santa Clara. For the fire boot, hes actually right. Theyre on the same last and they fit the same. Nick's uses thicker leather sometimes and a thicker sole on the hot shot than the SJ. CXL is not as tough as the standard Walnut, black, or chocolate leather...

    Nicks Boots

    Most of the Nicks crowd doesnt really use forums to talk about their boots I suspect. Also after 5-10 years its not really a surprise that they hold up for another year. Ive had Rangers for a year and if I were to switch laces theyd be unscathed. I might add these are my primary hiking...

     Either phone your order in, email, or order a Robert with the #2 tor and it will be a Charley.

    Nicks Boots

    Compared to the Ranger which is their full blown duty boot, yes. Out of the box a pair of White's or Nick's in their "proper" leathers are considered unwearable for an entire work day due to how stiff the new leather starts out. The Robert is comfortable out of the box and I did a few hours...

     Olive Chromepak. Its more wax and oil than CXL which brings out even more color. Do it. Finest boots ive owned and i have a decent collection
