This Boot's been out in the wild for a LOOOONG time! It still has the old Nicks logo and the western sole that it had originally was pretty much completely worn off
While most boots are meant to be thrown away after a few months, Nicks are built to last. When your boots start to need some servicing, you can send them in to have them resoled or completely rebuilt! Nicks Handmade Boots are serviceable and last years longer than a mass-produced boot. Since 1964, Nicks has been making the highest quality boots on the market, right here in Spokane Washington. If you're tired of your old work boots wearing out, upgrade to Nicks and enjoy the most comfortable boots on the market.

Very nice to see a simple resole compared to a rebuild.

@stevenroche9874 Жыл бұрын

Rebuilds should be replacements !

What I find interesting is that the sole still had to be cut off the midsole even though the stitches were worn off of the outsole. Really great craftsmanship.

@JinsKookieJams Ай бұрын

*That's because they're lock stitches. The stitches go through the midsole and the welt. So even though it looked like he could've peeled the outer sole off, the stitches were still locked in. This is extremely important to remember. Because, I see people posting on the r/Boots subreddit very often with this concern about the stitching that looks like that. They think their outsoles are about to easily fall off. In reality they won't due to the lock stitching I described above.*

I really enjoy watching these type of videos, really helps me to appreciate the toughness and craftsmanship in every boot. I am eyeing the parkhurst last boot you make, will gift myself a boot like this one day.

Those boots were clearly used but also clearly maintained to a high level. Fantastic craftsmanship and ownership.

Could Nicks confirm what the original leather of the uppers of these boots was, and what’s the edge dressing applied at the end?

Hey great video. How do you make sure you stitch in all the old holes in stitchdown construction? Are you just putting in a whole new line of stitching? If so after a few resoles is the rim just full of lines of stitching, or on the 2nd resoling how do you stitch into the same holes created by the 1st resoling?

@Wildeskraut 8 ай бұрын

It is obvious that new holes are being punched.

Question what happen to the nails ? It won't go through ur foot right ?

@nicksboots Жыл бұрын

We have a metal foot shape anvil INSIDE the boot, when the worker hammers in the nails it hits that and the point bends all the way back onto itself essentially making a hook, holding the leather together. All handmade boots use this or similar methods :)

@MrStreetninja007 Жыл бұрын

Did they leave the old threads in?

@binglenator Жыл бұрын

Looks like they just add a 3rd stitchdown stitch. If you tried to remove them you may cause more issues with water resistance on a stitchdown boot. On a goodyear welt you can remove the old stitches and make it look better without effecting the water resistance.

I have always wondered what the use of a heel like that is in a work boot. Isnt it more of a hindrance? Someone here sure knows

@markilleen4027 Жыл бұрын

I recently got a pair of your boots and the left boot is perfect no pain at all, but the right boot is very painful on top of my ankle, the eyelid is getting pulled into my ankle can't even passively have them on without pain, and if I bend it is the pain is unbearable

@@Wildeskraut pain is gone , but they hold a lot of water in the heal stack i drilled holds in the bottom of the heal, it helped let the water out, there the best boots i have ever had there not perfect i think the glue they use isn't that good even though it's not needed with all the stitching etc, and there the coldest boots i have ever owned like you're feet are colder with them on

It's a logger heel, pretty popular right now. It's just traditional.

@orlog3343 Жыл бұрын

If you’re wearing a boot with a high arch, thus a higher heel, you don’t want it to be a chunky block heel. It’s for from and function. More comfortable to walk in if it’s a taller heeled boot

@michaelintile7836 Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry but the heel is ugly, why didn't you make it more like the old one? If you had made a heel like that on my boots, you would have to redo it.

@orlog3343 Жыл бұрын

That’s a traditional logger heel. The old one would’ve looked like that before the years of wear.
