Nicks Urban Logger: nicksboots.com/urban-logger-p...
The Urban Logger is a staple work boot at Nicks. While this classic work boot is normally a 6" height, it has all of the durability and support of a BuilderPro™. If you're looking for a high durability work boot in a shorter height, this is the best boot for you!
If you're interested in how our boots are serviced, check out other content on our KZread channel! 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.

@@Jokemeister1 They are designed that way for very functional reasons, it puts the heal slightly forward to aid in the arch support and also makes for a more natural gait when you are walking. The height of the heel is for the arch support as well, but also to aid in really digging in your heels on rough uneven terrain.
Absolutely wonderful! I see why they cost so much. They have so much hard work put into them!

True. But Wescos are over 500 bucks a pair. Plus, I think that if properly maintained, Nick's boots will wear well for a long time.
So much of the process is done by hand. What a beautiful piece art
for future builds, can you list all the details about it like leather choice, toe, arch, sole stain color, etc. i always find myself wondering what the leather choice is in these.
Love, love your videos. Haven’t decided which boots to order.

Love my Nicks boots! I have Urban Logger honey soles and Urban Drifters black lugs. They take a lot of breaking In because they are built like tanks but once broke in they are amazing! My Truman’s are awesome but nicks have to be the toughest built boot I’ve ever seen. Worth every penny! Just a tip, trace your feet and get your exact size from Nicks you’ll be glad you did.
Can someone please make some videos of the Urban Drifter....there are only 2 videos on KZread about this boot....I just ordered it and excited but I can't watch any kool videos of the boot being made it reviews etc ....
LOVE these videos!! Which leather is this boot? Video suggestion - put in the description what leather you are using and maybe some other details about the specific boot being made

Tough boot, but is it really smart to place the seams over the profile of the soles?
@Totemparadox
2 жыл бұрын
It's neither smart nor dumb, it just is. Sure the thread will snap, but not all of it AND there's still glue and screws holding the sole on. Also the thread isn't pulled out that easily. That rubber is tough.
@TAdamRox

@@Totemparadox Another way of looking at it is that other boots don't even sew the outsole, just glue. And they work just fine. So in this case, like you said, even IF the thread completely fails, there's still glue and screws holding it. So it's still better than other boots such as Timbs or Doc Marts.

One part caught my eye. During the McKay stitching segment there was no stitching shown before the cement was applied. Was the stitching left out or was the lack of stitching noticed after the cement was applied, fixed and then the rubber midsole attached?

I was wondering...for the price point, why aren't the soles trenched before stitching? That thread is no match for concrete when exposed.

No need to. Yes the threads get chewed and cut up, but the glue, screws, and the friction of the thread still inside that thick sole work together at keeping thew sole attached.

It's a shame that you have to.... but if you'll go to a shoe store (or most drug stores), they sell "Mole Skin" patches that you can stick to any seams or part of the shoe that rubs. Basically just corduroy adhesive patches...but they work magic on spots that rub in shoes.

We offer different heel shapes and sizes on our boots so you can for sure find something you like the look of. As for the Sole stitching, there is usually no need to do a full stitch all around, and in addition we do not flare the feel on most of our boots, so realistically the stitching around that area would only attach the sole to the midsole. Although, we got something interesting on the way, that is stitched all around, so be on the lookout 👀👀👀
