I don’t really see a growing boot collection in my future. I waited 6 months for my Wedge Workers and when they came in, Nick’s forgot to put the steel toe in them. So I had to send them back and I still haven’t heard from them if they have started fixing my order. Basically I ordered a second pair to combat lead times. Hopefully I don’t move to the bottom of the list because of their mistake. I have probably 3 or 4 months left on the soles of these boots. More if I feel like pushing it. Hopefully I can get my new boots and gradually break them in I don’t see that Wedge sole not being bald in like 8 months. So basically it’s wear off a sole, wait months for a resole ship a pair of boots in. I don’t really envision myself ever being in possession of both pairs of boots at once for very long. These are getting honey vibram soles and lose the durability, but gain myself some grip.

Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

Thanks for watching. I just got an email from Nick’s and they’re getting started on my wedge workers. I have never really had a pair of boots last as long as these and still be actually good. But I decided I better get ahead of their resole lead time right now because frankly I grind soles bald. I might be putting up another video of the end of last Saturday night’s race here in a few. 👍

Especially me. I have been waiting 6 months. Not that there’s anything wrong with these boots. Far from it. I just decided to get ahead of that resole lead time when there was still some getting ahead to be done.

They’re rough out. Correct

I used the boot size I was fitted for in Boot Camp. I didn’t order half a size down because I like an extra pair of socks in the winter. The toe box is comfortable. If you haven’t been professionally fitted, I would highly recommend that you do the whole tracing your feet and all that. These things are expensive and you want to be sure that you get the right fit.

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 Thank you taking the time to respond! I'll try to get fitted at redwings and use those measurements. I can't wait to start getting Nicks Boots

@@somekidwithnoskills7181 I would really recommend calling them.

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 I definitely will give Nicks a call during the process. Thank you

I am an 11.5 ee and that’s what size these are. They fit me great.

If I was working on a warship still I would pay for the extra leather on the toe. However I am not and the toe caps still no steel showing. We’re at around 21 months on these boots now. These things are nothing like the Navy issued us brother.

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 Good to know, my flight deck boots (remember them) I think lasted 8 months. I do logging (corks) but like I said my new job won't allow corks in the equipment. Forgot to ask, I wear a 9.5B a bit long on purpose but snug in the wwidth. How do you think I should size them?

@@johnvelas70 Nick’s run a little bit longer than off the rack. But I would call them personally if I was you. I just retired 2 years ago and I remember flight deck boots all too well. It’s why the first thing I did was buy an expensive ass pair of work boots as soon as I could choose my foot wear.

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 Soon as I joined ships company I got rid of my boondockers. (LPD14 USS Trenton 1991-1993)

@@johnvelas70 I held onto mine for wog day. I was an airdale. First squadron was VFA-195 onboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) forward deployed to Japan.

They feel outstanding, nothing that I have had before these even holds a candle to them. The level of support on my feet. I think I notice the biggest difference between these and other steel toes when I take them off. I don’t wake up with sore arches, I don’t have any pain in my feet at all. It’s not a soft cushiony kind of comfort. They kinda hug your feet. If that makes sense. It’s almost 6 in the morning and time to put them on and head to work. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@jakesshopandtracktalk1835 no problem thanks for the content and reply.
