Ostrich was a steep challenge, far from the thick durable work leathers we normally use. This leather is fickle, as most exotics are, but our craftsmen powered through completing the project and making a very very divisive boot. Opinions varied widely in production as to whether the boot was beautiful or an abomination, what do you think? Let us know in the comments!

Yeah I've never seen the allure of it. I'm not a flashy guy either though.

Exotic leathers like crocodile, alligator,ostrich, shark etc are really weak, flimsy and not long lasting at all. They are just for being flashy and showing people you have some money to spare on fancy boots. Kinda like a gold plated diamond encrusted watch. I’m not a flashy guy either..

beautiful work of art
That leather shank looks like it’s no joke!
Great looking boots!
Extravagant craftsmanship.
i would never think that applying ostrich on Heritage boots is sooooooo badass 🤣🤣
I want these sooo bad. Who were these made for? And is there anyway a customer could order something like this?
Those sewing machines are amazingly versatile!
Um luxo só ❤
They look bad ass. You would just need a certain wardrobe to go with those boots, but they look awesome to me.
Pretty neat.
Love that huge hydraulic press cutter !
id love to get a pair of white tail deer skin hiking boots made from you guys
Beautiful boots, turned out awesome. Would be an awesome dress boot, I would not even think of working in them.
wow. nice.
Amazing work and craftsmanship. I would love to see chukka boots out this leather.
Love it. I would buy a pair.
Wonderfull boots 🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Do kangaroo next. It is tougher than cow leather. Might make more sense than ostrich. The ostrich turned out great but I could NEVER wear them as a work boot.

The pattern for some reason makes me extremely unfomfortable.
Ich kann starke Hände und Unterarme sehen! Eine gute Arbeit von guten Menschen 👍👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.
Love them. Ultra biased because I already have a pair of fashion boots in Ostrich [SS14 Maison Margiela Ostrich Side Zips in Teal - the runway version was actually in Big Bird yellow, but I ended up with the easier to style colorway]. I think they probably would've been less controversial in the shop if they were in black or, even better, if they had been Tankers, though I'm not certain of how feasible that would be.
These would sell great at zapateria la bailarina in Reno, NV. I'm just goofin, new boot goofin!
Hello Nicks: Like the "Builder Pro 4.5A boot", need one-inch lift on the sole and heel of boot. Will you guys do that?
Nice boots! But you can't step foot in a real work site with those...well I guess you COULD; but you would damage them real easy. Possibly just a very expensive fashion statement. But if I needed fancy boots...these guys are the ones to do it!! Well done!!
Cowboys know the value and durability of "bird" skinned boots. Super durable with only one flaw.. shar edges will cut.. but sand, dirt, etc.. just keep going.. Never put oil product on them.. Condition often as you should any boot.. And you will have them for a very long time. If they did not pass muster then Cowboys would not wear them as they provide little function. Function is king when it comes to boots.. Fun to watch the process.. you can tell that he really did not want to make them.. lol.. Did you know Double H makes two colors of roper ice sole work boots.. full quil? Yep.. Searching and found this and them..
Can u do the other type of sole the white sponge looking one that doesnt have a heel like that?
Beautiful Boot and workmanship. It looks like the crew enjoyed the challenge.
whats the name of the retrowave song at the end
Is it chrome tanned or vegetable tanned ostrich?
I love that Google translates the hammer noises as 'thank you'
Try Kangaroo, please. Very strong soft leather.
Reminds me of the ostrich skin western boots my old warehouse manager used to wear out here in Texas. So why the black lug soles instead of the honey lug soles?

Black soles for contrast.
I wish the folks made slides
Someone in Reno is about to be new boot goofin after they make their three payments
These are awesome i just dont like that type of sole. I like the flat hard sponge type with no heel.

Although it is a good brand of sole. I think redwing uses that sole as well. Vibron. I have seen othet boot makers use it also.

apart from aesthetics, does it have any benefits over the cows' leather? also, what's about pigs skin? i've heard it's stronger than the cows skin (of the same thickness). also- when you put the weight in ounces, is that per square foot of leather? any chance to put the g/m^2 as well (not instead of it, just with it)?

I've never owned ostrich but it looks better and has that distinct grain and also is very tough. Same with alligator, I wouldn't own a mess of it but one or two exotic pairs of boots would be fun. And Nick's offering bison made me not have to go with JK lol.
Genuine ostrich, 3 payments ooh

Aiya. They’re…well made obv, but man I wanted them off my screen every time I saw that leather. Like the frog with babies in the skin. Makes my skin itch.
Bison, ostrich, and alligator are the best. Snake/lizard skin looks better on wallets or even jackets imo.
Those who know, know. Ostrich wears like iron much longer than say Caiman leather , and with 3 layers of leather I would wear them every day. I keep a least one pair of ostrich cowboy boots in my closet they almost feel like slippers.
Falta unas boota de dame en oval,ke es old West
one shoe got screwed up due to the crease left on the leather
I bet these would patina really amazing if someone did actually work in them.
Why don’t you auction these off for charity? It’s a win-win for everyone The charity gets money you get advertising I would also like to see colored leathers where you could pre-order them The viola color that Truman used a few months back was sooo coool !!!
I love the fact that they aren't sure if the leather is strong enough to meet their standards. The craftsmanship is top notch, no doubt about that, but damn ostrich leather makes for a hideous boot.
How can we order a pair of ostrich boots?
You think ostrich is thin, do snake skin next 😂
Ever done any out of kangaroo?
looks good but will they stand up to abuse
Part of me just wants a pair of those to intimidate the a-hole emus. The realistic part of me thinks ostrich boots in general, don't look good.
nice looking boots , but I would bet they won't last leather is way to thin, nice job though!
How long before JK comes out with their own totally original ostrich boots? 😂
What is the average THICKNESS of a tanned ostrich skin --2-3 mm ?--or thicker ?
269 western sole would have worked
this hasnt gotten the views it deserves
These are cool but is this why my boots take forever to be made, yall just making this fancy stuff lol (Joke)
For dress only. Working in those boots would be like running a Ferrari in a demolition derby.
Rofl head leather was like no real quick
! cuánto cuesta? $______
can you sell ostritch work boots?
Ostrich leather is expensive
When will we get ones made in human leather? /joke
Nicks makes some of the finest boots on the planet. To make a work boot of this caliber is stupid. If someone wants to throw their hard-earned money away, that is their choice. I wouldn't. Make limited quantities. This won't sell.
With all that dots it look like a giant chicken skin
the leather reminds me a bit of a skin with smallpox kinda repulsive
Dress loggers.....
Pimp shoes.
Ostrich leather is weak sauce!!
Ehhh ,Ostrich is that Appealing to me Big Pimples Nahh Not For Me Wrinkly Bison ok , RoughOut Ok

Exotics look awful but I fully accept that I'm very much in the minority so work it if it works...🤦♂🤷♂. However, that Nicks would go to exotics BEFORE going to horsebutt is just beyond weird.
