Nicks Robert: nicksboots.com/robert-boot/
*This boot handcrafted with Wickett & Craig Chestnut Latigo leather.
Nicks Boots: nicksboots.com/
Originally made for series workers who wanted a weekend boot, the Robert offers great arch support, paired with premium USA leathers. This boot differs from the Falcon in that it has greater arch support and a higher heel--consistent with the series work boot models which have made Nicks great: the Ranger and the Forester.
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.

@NicksHandmadeBoots - At 22:55 in the video. Please have the gentleman doing the finishing with that piece of rebar grind the mushroom off of the end. As someone who has worked with metal, I can tell you that given the proximity to his face, it is only a matter of hammer blows before shards start flying from that mushroomed end seeking out his unprotected eyes. Always dress and maintain your tools, even if it is a piece of rebar. Nice boots, but not worth losing an eye.

These videos are going to make you busier than ever when people that appreciate excellence, supreme American craftsmanship quality (like me) discover your company. I'm sure that I'm not alone watching your videos of different leather options, models and features , rebuilds etc. It's become a minor obsession this past week, figuring what to order after sizing. Thanks for showing the world, what true world class AMERICAN MADE & OWNED means folks at NICK'S!

For those wondering, this pair of boots has the 55 last, moderate heel stack, and dogger heel. Great example of this feature Nicks introduced just in the last year for those who want the best arch support but not a tall heel.

@mikealley2596 Жыл бұрын

Doesn't changing the height of the heel stack throw off the weight distribution?

@howdypardner4128 Жыл бұрын

@@mikealley2596 Yes, I'm sure it does. It's an option that probably appeals mostly to those who prefer the appearance and don't mind a little more neutral weight balance on the 55 last.

Just got my Roberts in W&C EB Burgundy a few days ago. These are seriously nice boots. Already scratched the toe on the clutch pedal of my car. It was bound to happen eventually. Well, no returning them now. Sizing of the footbed seems correct, but ihe fit seems a little loose around the foot, but nothing a set of their nice leather insoles doesn't fix. The leather insoles are really nice as well.

Theses things are gorgeous, but 1 question for those of us with hobbit feet. Any way to get a more roomy tongue? A tongue that comes away from the boot a little bit more, to give more foot clearance?

@incidentshappen Жыл бұрын

I have very high arches and the tongue & kilty (kiltie?) on my Roberts give plenty of space. Typically I push the tops of shoes out but my Nick's fit great. Edited to add: I ordered a "wide" boot based on my measurements, which I did myself with their printed template and a fabric tape measure in thick-ish socks.

Remove the tongue and comb your toe hair up to keep the boots water resistant.

@Totemparadox Жыл бұрын

@@user-hs1np1os9p That's the 365 Stitchdown method. Pretty new for Nicks. They swap the leather midsole and outsole with rubber and make a 360 degree stitch. The point is to have a lighter, more flexible and more water resistant boot. Danner uses this method. The nails are not needed in the 365 version because the stitching goes all the way around, unlike on these boots.

@user-hs1np1os9p Жыл бұрын

@@Totemparadox I also noticed that many other guys use "welt" (a ribbon that is stitched to upper leather through insole). Nicks' blog that supposed to answer this question seems not to work. Why do they prefer "stitchdown" method?

@Totemparadox Жыл бұрын

@@user-hs1np1os9p It's more water and dirt resistance. But it also makes resoling a bit more tedious and if the leather "welt" fails you can't change it like on a Goodyear welt boot and the upper needs to be fixed. It's not a big problem though. There are decades old nicks and danner with the upper still intact.
