The two tone problem for customers can probably be fixed if the Nick website had an interactive feature where an image can swap out the colors of the section you choose. Overall, an interactive feature would be great for assembling boots and info about what they mean. Took me a few days to figure out what certain terminologies means and a their significance. Would have order my boots sooner and almost dropped buying boots from Nicks because it was starting to get complicated. Seeing what I was building in real time would have saved me a lot of time.

With the two-tone, I think people freak out with how different the colors are out-of-the-box, but when they give the boots more time and wear, they end up looking gorgeous when they're both darker neutrals. The left boot in the two-tone examples looks ridiculous because its fresh - the right one, where its seen some moderate usage, is beautiful. The variation in color on the vamp panel in the rolls and creases ties the colors together really well. I think if that left boot was given some time for the sole to darken up a bit, the toe and heel got some time for the fibers to take on some organic variation in color and texture, and the uppers were allowed to become less than pristine - get some nice rolls, take on a broader range of tone rather than just being all black, maybe dull up the hardware a bit and let the laces take on some color - it would be really striking and the type of boot somebody would be proud to be recognized by on the worksite.

Hey Gringo! Do you think they are as useful or comfortable when you're up in the air or just walking? I hate the shank so I always change boots before I climb. Old timers hate it because you should wear your uncomfortable climbing boots all the time like a man! So I always get steel shank for climbing and wear them as little as possible. Will these leather shanks support your foot for 12 hours or whatever?

@KevinSmith-qi5yn 2 жыл бұрын

@@richardpatterson4312 I am 6 ft, about 180 lbs. I was able to wear lineman boots all day. I think my height and weight helped in breaking them in. I like when I make a thunk. Realistically, only wearing them when climbing or outside is better. If you wear them all the time, the sole will last maybe a year or 2. If your job includes going into customers' homes, then having a clean boot and dirty boot is better.

The NFPA cert soles are NOTORIOUS for chunking with age, regardless of actual wear. It was so bad that when the department was looking for boots for me, one of their old stock boots literally crumbled first wear, and the other ones delaminated from the sole after a month. These were 'brand new' boots that had been on the shelf for 3+ years. Buy them only if your department requires it. I want to get Nick's but mine requires a steel toe so I'll have to get fitted in WA to make sure the sizing is right.

I want a pair of these so bad, but my work requires non-slip soles. Also, I work around a lot of acid, and frequently have to walk on floors wet with nitric acid. It's not like it's a deep puddle of it, just a wet concrete floor. I'm worried about damaging the boots like this, because the acid typically eats away the stitching in every boot I've worn. My wife keeps telling me to wait until I have an office job where I don't have to worry about damaging them. Lol, makes perfect sense- wait to buy nice work boots until I have a job that doesn't require work boots. Either way, I really really hope to get a pair later this year, really like the company and the style fits me great.

Who knows after they arrive and I wear them I might order another pair with the high arch . I like to rotate my boots to extend the wear. I'm a farmer and mechanic.

I like the two tones just as much as the classic single tones, I dont have a fragile ego to worry about boot culture extremists. I appreciate all of this info tho, definitely helps a lot! I would have ordered the fireproof options and leather shank.

I have three pair of steel-toed western boots, one pair steel-toed engineer boots and one pair steel toed, insulated logger boots. I've worn them all a lot, one of the western boots so much I wore out the leather on the inside of the toe, and other than that, I've never noticed the steel toes as feeling any different than any other boot. Even looks-wise, there's very little difference.

Plus it seems like most western boots are two toned. The shank is almost always at least one different color if not multiple.

one of the most comfortable boots I ever had in my life were a pair on lineman boots but I picked them up at the thrift store, so they may have already been broken in I lived in those for a good five years in my 20s : )

I was looking at your Americanas for a casual boot that works good with my wardrobe. I'm in the service and wear steel toe combats in a size 8.5. Your website says go down half a size and I was wondering if that would be useless if I add a toe cap? Will it bump it back up to a 8.5 or will it still feel snug with a good wool sock (barely wear synthetic blends anymore due to always rucking)

Bought a steel toe boot, I like to be prepared for situations in life in which my toes would be nice to keep. I just hope I didn't make a mistake.

I have two pairs of Nicks, my work pair are steel toe. Though you can definitely feel the steel toe, it’s not uncomfortable. I wear them 8-12 hours a day on concrete and they’re the best boots I’ve ever had.

I saw a video by a shoe polisher who polishes a 'worn out pair of Nick's'. They had a few scuffs but looked like they had never been worn outside of a building and were basically new. Oh, and they were two tone.

Nick’s accidentally two-toned my work boots…the uppers were the the brown I ordered but the bottoms ended up tan. They loo led like $700 bowling shoes. Apparently it was caused by a clerical error in their drop down menu. My options were to have them stained or wait another two-three months for them to be rebuilt.

My BIGGEST regret is ordering boots with hooks instead of all eyelets. Yes. hooks makes it speedy removing my boots but time consuming putting them on and re-hooking the laces. Especially if im late getting ready for work.

@Totemparadox 2 жыл бұрын

If you're late for work, 30 seconds to do the hooks isn't gonna change a thing. Stop being lazy and don't be late.

ive got a question, why is it that according to the website it is reccommended to get eyes and speed hooks as opposed to getting all eyes on your boots?
