Just got my first pair of Nicks Roberts today, right out of the box they are super comfortable. I have been wearing boots for almost 50 years and never had a brand new boot feel this comfortable.

Got mine yesterday-wore them all day today and they are great. Nothing like custom-fitted boots, especially when you’ve got mismatched, flat feet like I do. I’ve been through Alden, redwing, foot-so-port-all good in their own right, but they all ultimately succumbed to wear. These Boots will only get better as they break in, no doubt.

Wow, very strong showing from Nick's. Impressive instant classic for the heritage style boot market, and the custom fit option is really just icing on the cake!

Love to see an update after the leather has softened and seen some wear. Also, your video editing is getting better and better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I own three pair of Nicks. Best boots I’ve ever worn hands down. I have a pair of Roberts, a pair of Foresters and just recently got a pair of the Urban Loggers. All three very solid and will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. And made in America...can’t say that a lot these days.

I recently moved to Spokane, Wa and live a half a mile from Nick’s. I just want in there today and was blown away by their boots. I have my eye on a pair of Falcons with a toe cap.

Nicks are also re-craftable. They have great leather options to choose from and once they're broken in they'll feel absolutely amazing. They'll last a very long time.

Such a beautiful pair of boots!

Nicks are great boots because of the quality of construction and comfort. They have a longer break in period than most boots but that's due to the thick leather used, stacked leather heel and strong stitching. I own a pair of the Contender boots and they fit like a glove. You know you're in an extremely comfortable boot when you can work all day in them and then actually forget you've got them on.

These boots will look better after a year of wear...and effing amazing a year after that. I learning on a pair of these. Oxblood and a two tone heal.

Holy heck - I can't believe there's a review on these. Thank you! I've been trying to convince myself to order a custom pair for a year now - maybe it's time. That is a hella good looking boot. I'm used to wearing western boots and clogs so I know how well that shape supports actual foot anatomy.

The profile definitely resembles their logger boots lol I own boots from Red Wing, Chippewa, Thorogood, Corcoran, Wolverine and so on; but a custom made pair of Nicks (or white's) is next on my list! I think I should stop "investing" in boots since I have over 46 pairs...One more ain't gonna hurt.

I bought a pair of Nicks through the Zurrick website. I love them and yet in retrospect I wish I had gone through Nicks for a custom build. I have a smaller heel and a wider toe so the heel wants to slip while the toe is tight. I’m planning on pulling the trigger pretty soon on a custom pair. The price tag is a little up there but PayPal credit makes it a lot easier up front lol.

I don't have the Roberts, but I do have the Urban Loggers. They're FANTASTIC! Break in was quite comfortable when I double layered my sock around the ankle area.

What a stunning boot. Another amazing video as always.

I just ordered this boot in a veg tan brown. Sent in my fit kit. Waiting on my try on pair

I have a pair of Nicks. The break in is a bear, but... now they are amazing.

I've been wearing my Roberts for 6 months now, great boot. I work them pretty hard and with just general cleaning and maintenance once a month they still look practically new.

You can see this guy is in LOVE with these boots

I just bought the Red Wing Heritage boots, but the quality of that boot really shines through.

Wearing a pair of Manito right now. Found in instant ship. Amazing boot like no other. And very comfortable - built like a tank. Easy to forget the manito is a shoe and can be worn for work and anything else.

I purchased a pair of The Roberts back in March of this year (2017). I stopped by Nicks shop in Spokane to get fit. Fortunately for me and my wallet, I'm an off the shelf size so no customizing necessary. I wear the boats almost every day, and then at night the get put on a Peet's boot drier. It took a couple of weeks to really break them in but they are the most comfortable shoes I own, bar none. If I have to be on my feet all day at a trade show I feel great at the end. No foot, knee, or back pain from standing and walking for 10-12 hours. AS far as the upkeep I use Obenauf's oil. A couple of coats every few months and they still look like they are brand new, a few scuffs aside. These boots are tough enough to work in but I generally use them for day to day wear at home and in the office. For work I'd look at Nicks Ranger, which was spawned the Roberts.

I just got my Roberts last weekend. I'm 11.5EE on Brannock. Initially my Nicks Roberts in 11EE seems to be a little long at first, but the width and arch is about perfect. It's so nice to have arch support not found in 95% of shoes out there. After wearing for a few days, the length seems fine. It's really more a of a trick of my visual perspective. Overall, the footbed is really about perfect. Around my foot, they feel a little loose, as if the laces won't tighten far enough. This is an easy fix, as I just got a pair of their leather insoles, which are really worth it. It fills the space, and provides more leather to mould to my foot. I'm wearing the boots to break them in without the insoles first, and compressing the footbed to the shape of my foot. After worn in a bit, I will add the insoles back in to get it to mould in even better. So far, I can say honestly that I highly recommend these boots.

All of the craftsman and machines that started nicks are now Franks boots. I love my Franks boots and I am looking to buy another pair.

I personally own two pairs of Nicks Lace To Toe Hotshots. They are the "stuff"! Can't say enough good things about Nicks boots.

Looks good!

Got my Nicks Urban Loggers....they are seriously made, can't wait to order the Roberts in waxed flesh with the mock toe!. Also need a pair of Builder Pros....but have to save up for my new boot collection goals😅

What is the leather color on this boots? Thank you.

I am starting my 3rd week of break in on my Builder Pro's. Maybe it is me but the break in has been pretty tame compared to what I hear others go through. Already looking at another pair of Nick's and the Robert is a very strong contender for something a little more casual.

Nice!

Received my Roberts today. So far the fit is great, wearing 'em in the house for a bit to be sure.

I love my Roberts

Hi Great review. Thanks. What color is that boot?

i wear Whites right now but my next pair will be Nicks for sure

Nicks/John lighten are going to be my next boots purchase. I’m no stranger pnw boot makers and I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone better

Do they have that in rough out and options on the sole?

Hello! Which colour is it?

Nice i want to get me a boot not sure what brand to go with redwing? nicks? grant stones?

Do you have more pictures of these in other jeans/chinos/khakis with some natural light? Checked your IG page and it didn’t offer much more than the video did. Trying to see these boots in different situations to decide on purchase. THANKS!

Where did you find that leather?

What color of leather did pick?

Could you look into reviewing a pair of Thursdays? Alpha m sponsors them and they are pretty cheap but look really high quality.

Bota linda 👏 aqui no Brasil poderia ser mais fácil de adquirir

Im torn between the Robert and the Falcon boot. I wont spend that much money until my work takes me to Spokane and i can get an in person fitting, but im sure they'll be worth the wait.

9 months in and still tryin the break in my Nick's builder pros.. these things are tanks. Its hard to go back to a Red wing or Chippewa once you have Nicks Franks or Whites.

Hi, thanks for this video…. What leather is it and how thick?

One year wearing nicks builders pro, I ordered tall version non-stitched at the beginning there were stiff tough and uncomfortable I even called them to talk about why heal is so big doesn't move with my feet at , after 4:00 to 6 months I start to feel soft and light and I walk like in a slippers it is tank I am Foreman electrician on a construction site in this boots I went through two job sites jumping in the sand walking on the ice, now will be second winter I'm going on the same soul, one downside is it's heavy when people see my boots they are amazed how they look I brush them everyday to keep them clean I use boot dryer to keep them dry inside. In a year and a half period a purchased three more pairs so now I have two builder pros in black from Nicks and two pairs of a ranger boots from Frank's it's the same boot company's Frank's and Nick's.

What's the height of the heel on these? Looks like it's got the western sole on it but even nick's didn't tell me what the height would be.

Do a video on Dayton boots

@thebootguy would love to see a review of whites boots smoke jumpers and whites boots semi dress and a cross comparison against the nicks

What type of leather is that?

Nicks is still a production boot not matter how its made. The labour costs are just high enough to also make it hard to justify keeping inventory. Some elements can be changed, but nicks generally uses unmodified lasts. There are a lot of smaller boot-makers who make boots for about the same price, but of the same or higher quality in construction and are orders of magnitude better in terms finish.

Was the color boot you were showing (in your hands) burgundy or brown? Also, was the boot showcased in the "walking" phase of this video the same color as the one's in your hands? Those vid shots almost look brown (and then burgundy...?).

Glad to see a review on these. I grabbed a pair a while back. Favorite boots. I have a 6” pair. I should have done the fitting and stuff because after a while I realized they were slightly too large which can cause your foot to shift during break in. They’re still awesome and everyone who sees them is like “wow.” Mine were actually the 6” “William black” by Zurrick. Also you talk too much you hipster. Emoji emoji emoji emoji emoji emoji.

I am a whites semi dress man but that boot looks great. A five inch version would be awesome.

The best boot made by humans on Earth.

Класссные! Вот где такие купить?

Sale pitch or no, I ended up pulling the trigger and got a pair of Robert boots. Let me tell you this boots are just beautifully made, I own Boots made by Chippewa, Red Wing, Frye. They all look and feel like junk compared to this boots. It took me a year to pull that trigger but now I am a happy owner of two Robert boots and two Manito oxfords

Received my Nick's Robert Boot today. Here is an honest review: 1. Build Quality - 10 (this boot is built like a tank and will last a very long time). 2. Cosmetics - 5 (this boot has many cosmetic flaws and major grinding marks on the front vertical wall of the soles which is very visible. The side and back of the vertical sole walls are flawless. Stitching is very nicely done. 3. Fit - 8 (this boot stiff. I trust when the boot is broken in, the score will be a 10. The arch is very prominent and may not be for everyone. 4. Sole - 10 (rubber is solid) 5. Packaging - 0 (the worst packaging I have ever seen. No outer box to protect the Nick's box and name. The boots were just dropped into some thin cheap paper. The Nick's box was so dirty, I had put the box in the garage. All my other manufactured boots packaging is flawless. The box did have a built-in handle, but it was so dirty, I can't travel with it. For $30.00 dollars you would think you would get better). 6. Customer Service - 10+ Overall - ? (This boot is built well and I like it. Would I recommend this boot? ABSOLUTELY !!!

Yeah, I'm tempted to acquire a pair. But I live in Chicago, and the nearest dealer is in North Dakota. I also don't feel like dropping $500.

The first high end boot I ever bought was a Nicks Hotshot. I went to Nick's in Spokane, WA to get measured and the process was smooth and very informative. They took the time to put me in a few different boots with different arch shapes to make sure I was getting a boot that would be the most comfortable for me. Once I got the boots (smooth walnut uppers with rough out walnut lowers) I was impressed with the build quality and I started in the break in process. MAKE SURE YOU DONT CUT CORNERS ON BREAK IN. They quickly became my favorite boot. They are extremely comfortable for me and I wear them everywhere except my retail job. I'm currently looking into their traveller wedge sole for my retail job because I'm on hard surface floors all day. I cant see myself ever going back to boots of lesser quality.

These old Roberts IMO just looks so much better than current Robert Nick’s is offering. I really wanted a pair similar to yours for myself and contacted them for it. However, Nick’s told me they don’t make these hand welted single row stitch any more. They say the new McKay construction is more water tight, durable and better for the boot makers’ health. I guess these Roberts are extinct now.

What color is this? Color 8 or walnut?

Do they make them with smaller heels

Does anyone know when a boot is broken in? I mean are there any signs or cues that help demonstrates a boot being broken in?

Just curious as to the leather color on those in the video?

Is this the 67 last?

I love that boot but I don't think I could pull off that heel

This review isn't really saying anything. Just sounds like a sales pitch.

Boot guy needs some boot socks

What about Frank's Boots ???

If you are going to do reviews of boots of the caliber Nick's are, custom made handmade leather boots I'd suggest and would like to see reviews of White's, JK Boots, and Wescos. As a wearer of this type of boot and wearing Wesco Job Masters and in the process of getting a pair of JK Fire Inlander I would like to see reviews on all of them. Thanks

Can you review the falcon

Do stock Nick's boots run TTS or large?

I've had my Nick's for almost four years. They're the 8" with a wedge sole and they're the most comfortable boots I own without a doubt, I also have a pair of Red Wing Chukkas (3141) and a pair of Iron Rangers (8114) that have been resolved with a lug sole. The break in for me took almost three months but this is because I bought them too small and too narrow, I had no idea what I was doing and bought them online. Taking them to a local cobbler I eventually got them to fit correctly and wore them for about two and a half years and getting them resolved twice before a rebuild. I contacted Nick's about what I needed to do to get a rebuild going and asked if they could change the size and width to make the boots for correctly. Everyone I talked with there was great and I got my boots back sooner than I thought I would. I can't recommend Nick's enough to people who want good boots.

I LOVE these boots and this brand and the ideas behind them. But boot guy youve done them a disservice all you say is good things about everything you review and theres no frame of reference for whats good and whats better

You didnt speak about the “arch support “ nicks are famous for?!

Where is the boot guy nowadays

A boot review with the obligatory beard and turned up selvedge jeans. I can tell right away these boots will get a lot of wear during pub crawls and visiting artisanal delicatessens. At least show them a picture of some dirt and woods, maybe even a chainsaw. Let me know if you need an invite to my home in the mountains. It's 8700 ft above sea level with lots of cattle, horses, and woods around. There are no pubs so to speak but there is some honest need for good boots up there.

I feel like when your doing a review on a boot like this one you need to explain more about the construction of the boot & the materials. That boot is built with old world shoe/boot craftsmanship. For people that don’t know about those details that’s a great boot to take the opportunity to talk about some of those lost construction methods. Also for the folks that do know we love to hear a more in-depth breakdown of the construction of the boot & specifically about the materials. That type of cookie cutter review is fine for most of today’s cookie cutter boots. That boot deserves a bit more & is an opportunity for your boot loving followers to get a little education. Just sayin. Thanks

Undecided between brown or burgundy.

Can Nick's boots donate me a pair of these beautiful boots

Класс качестве и так то выдно с экрана

Sounds like more of an endorsement than a review. You do not have to SELL Nicks boots. The boots sell themself.

I can make shoes

Man, what happened to you? At one point you were the go to boot review guy and then you vanished.😢 About five years ago i bought redwings iron ranger soley based on your review. I think you were the only one back then that made a review video on them. Times have changed.

Unless you wore the boots for 6 months minimum I wouldn’t call this a review but a showcase.

Heel is too high. Looks like an 1800s women's boot

Soave beard sir.

Woman's boots .

Some day. Some ...... day. I can afford a pair of these but their fit process over the internet .... I can't even. I'd rather fly to Spokane and do it right. And I may just do it one day. I pray that hipsters look at these boots and realize just how shallow and deluded they really are. Poor poor soft men. And you, bootguy. Cuffed jeans? Cuffed jeans?? Shave your beard.

I can't get passed that effeminate looking heel.

Can you list the options you chose on this beautiful custom?
