I've had the same experience with Nick's HNW as you mentioned: sloppy in the heel. I've been stubborn about trying the 55, because I was determined to avoid the high heels, similar to you. So after going through several variations of my size in the HNW, I'm about ready to give up on that last. When I finally got one with a snug heel, my instep and toes suffered. I just can't get one that feels right on my whole foot. And I kept listening to the Nicks guidance, as you mentioned, saying that all their lasts should fit the same, and my size should be the same in all of them. So I had no reason to believe that trying the 55 would feel any better. I was ready to throw in the towel on my whole PNW quest for the right fit. Sorry to say, but I think Nicks has gone too far in their mission to streamline and simplify the fitting process. They are glossing over important details that could help someone like me find the right size. Finally, on a whim, I saw a White's Cutter in my size at a nice discount from Baker's "Final Few." I thought it would be a good opportunity to try the 55 on a lower heel, without much risk. What a revelation! The Nicks HNW in the same size and width has my heel swimming and floating around all day. In the White's 55, I'm locked in, but without any strange pressure on the back of my heel and no slipping. I don't know how it's possible, because I've struggled so much in my quest for a fit like this in the HNW. I can do calf raises in these Cutters, and my heel doesn't move. I love it. And my toes have plenty of room on the sides of the vamp. Other than the unpleasant side effect of the LTT of having the top of the vamp press down on the top of my big toe when I take a step, it's perfect. I hope that works itself out with more break-in. So, where I'm at now, I'm beginning to think White's is the better choice for me. I get the impression that their boots are a better match for my feet. I've heard others say that the White's 55 has a tighter fit for them than other PNW makers. If that's true, I may want to stick with White's now, because I'm finding the fit just right.

@@igucl1027 yep, their sizing guidance is often wrong and the HNW is just a terrible Last. Nicks other issue is their Classic heel is too tall. Whites has the perfect heel height using 4 leather stacks. With Nicks you either have too tall (5/6 stacks) or slightly too short (3 stacks). You might try a Nicks 55 on a Moderate heel. Will feel similar to the Cutter. However if you enjoy the Whites then why bother. My experience was the opposite. Where each Whites purchase had some QC issue or another. That is why I moved away from Whites.

My Nick's are a few years old. Tough break in and they also slip at the heel. I need to wear them more. Just got a pair of JK OTs in work leather, not bison. Break in was a couple days, 2-3 hours a day. Been wearing them all day for a few days. Much lighter boot. I can actually bend my foot. They are almost too soft for work boots. Great hunting boots. The JKs slip at the heel, too. I do not have a narrow foot. Nick's are 8.5D, JKs are 7.5EE. The JKs actually look larger.

@@Old_Sailor85 Which last did you get in the Nicks? Does the heel slippage bother you, or you don’t mind? I mean, a little slipping is pretty normal, they say, but anything more than a minimal amount really bothers me.
@Old_Sailor8521 сағат бұрын
@@igucl1027 HNW last, they are 6" Travelers in Bison, They were actually Carl Murowski collabs if you're familiar with his channel. The Nick's are very stiff in the sole. Great for working on ladders or rebar. Tough for hiking or mechanic work. So stiff you have to drag your toes on the ground if you squat. They are still not what I would consider well broken in, but they are wearable. The JK OTs are at the opposite end. Very flexible, easy break in. Heel slip is manageable in both, but I also wear cowboy boots, so they all slip.

It’s more that the website is poor. Same with Whites. If you check all the categories on the Whites site, you’ll never find the C355 Logger boot. However if you search “C355” it will show up. These boot companies seem to have very poor website management.

Get the vibram sole 8870 Newlfex in 5MM it comes in tan color, it will add some height in profile but you can cut it to fit and make quasi "half sole" it will last a long time and you can probably keep gluing new pieces on as they wear through protecting the oem leather sole for many generations.

I found out these boots were actually a custom fit boot. The seller lied saying they were “off the shelf 11E”. Inside the boots on the vamps it says “Fit 11E” on one boot and “12 1/2E” crossed out on the other. Both shafts show 11E stamp.

revisiting this video because I agree with what you said at 18:05 about nicks lasts. I am a 10.5D brannock with my heel to ball measurements at an 11D. For my nicks Americana's I purchased a size 11D a half size up from brannock and true to size heel to ball. I own a pair of nick's packers in size 10.5D true to size and a pair of Roberts 10D half size down from brannock all though for this Robert purchased it really needed to be 10.5D and not 10D. Nicks lasts sizing are all different and when they say all the lasts fit the same Id say that's false.

Ya it’s very strange that they suggest same size across very different shaped Lasts. Maybe they want the boots to fit in varying levels of too large.
