Mine is just quick ship Officer boot , in brown waxed flesh. No pull loop. I hope they are fine working with it , because it turned out amazingly. The best fitting boost in my life.

I would love to see video about foot tracing on the paper. I really don't understand how to angle the pen, especially around the arch and heel. Love the videos

This was a fun one! It could have used more Lasting, though. I can’t just walk back and watch you guys work all day! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I saw "Lasting 101", got excited, clicked, and immediately realized it was the same interview I'd watched earlier in the day, only now with a misleading thumbnail. Nicks' willingness to share real info sets the company apart. I get there are more media people now, and pressure to squeeze ever more stats out of the machine. But the "hacks" and "tricks" anyone can do, and a lot of trashy shoe brands are already doing. It's the opposite of the refreshing, frank transparency I signed up for and bought into. Have one or both of these guys do a real lasting or bottoming 101 over a jack. Those are the parts Nicks still does handmade and other companies don't. There are reasons for that and real challenges in it, especially with Nicks' crazy house leather weights. It'll only hammer home the value in the process and the product. That's almost not even a pun.

Day 15 of asking for the ultimate boot model guide covering all the differences and peculiarities and what actions each model is best suited for.

If they decide to do that, that's cool and all, but why in the world would you ask this for over two weeks straight? In that time, have you done even a single thing to answer any of those queries yourself? Watched any videos, reviews, anything? Are you an adult or a child? There's a wealth of information on KZfaq alone.
