As a critical care nurse that works in a level 1 Trauma center I can tell you that i wear my Nicks ranger boots to work. The thick work leather and the arch support that your boots provide has protected my feet from several syringes with needles uncapped from embedding in my feet. I refuse to wear the suggested footwear recommended by the hospitals and choose to wear my Nicks. After explaining this to my supervisors they now realize the importance of proper foot wear even in the healthcare setting. So now i have opted to purchase the Roberts boot in Walnut Smooth so they will be more mainstream. When you guys build boots I'm sure you don't realize that you serve customers in all areas. I won't buy anything other than Nicks boots. And fantastic review Abby!!!

Expensive, but hard to go wrong with Saphir; top notch brand. Bick 4 is also a good choice for every leather I've tried if you're not trying to darken your leathers. Dirt cheap and handy if you want to condition something but don't really need anything heavy duty, or if you're in between deep conditionings.

These look so good! Great review. Hopefully we will get an update. I just placed a custom order with the limited run oxblood chromexcel and essentially just created a Falcon boot with the v-bar soles, but your video has convinced me that I should change to the V100 lugs. It seems to me that the Urban Drifter is basically a falcon with the lug sole, but I could be wrong. In any case, great video, and killer boots! Love your setting for the video too. Very nice.

Thanks for sharing how you conditioned your boots. I'm just over a week into a pair of Builder Pros in 1964 leather, break-in is not bad at all, the boots are really starting to mold to my foot like a well conditioned baseball glove. I'm going to use Saphir too, nothing but the best for the best boots!

Sweet! As another lady who likes boots, loved the review. It’s annoying how most boot brands really shortchange us. As an apprenticing cobbler, the amount of expensive TRASH that comes in for ladies boots and shoes is really disheartening. I’m glad to hear your break-in progress hasn’t been too bad. I heard Nick’s can be a bear because of all of the leather. Great after the break-in, but all the leather can be hard on the feet. I’d love to see an update video since it’s a year on now. Cheers!

I think you are the first other woman I’ve seen review Nicks! I’ve been wanting to get a pair of Urban Loggers. Its really amazing that they have sizes for women as well. I have a high arch and when it comes to women’s shoes you can never really find something that caters towards any deviation from the standard sizing and lasts so I’m always in a bit of pain by the end of a hike. Going down the good year welt rabbit hole has been the best thing to happen to me lol

Nice review. I was thinking about these (not for hiking - I have Zamberlans for that) but for a good everyday "rugged wear boot". The biggest takeaway from seeing them "live" rather than on the website is just how chunky that sole really is (especially on the heel). I think I will opt for the Falcons. Thanks again!

Ultimately decided to go with the brown waxed flesh and I think I kind of regret it now 😂😂.

Great review covering a lot of good content. Definitely be cautious when deciding whether or not to use Nicks' branded obenauf's heavy duty lp. It will darken leather considerably just as Abby demonstrated in the video, so if your boots are anything other than black or walnut, think twice unless darkening is the goal. And anyone interested in them, really consider going stock boot again like Abby did, because despite what Shylar Moe says, their lead times are still ridiculous and not getting any better. I'd hate to see what he thinks a bad lead time is.
