How America's Toughest Work Boots Are Made - Nicks Urban Logger

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

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.

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.

    Gortex is highly water resistant but not 100 percent water proof 🙄

    Any woman that wears a shirt that says “Happy Vibes Only” is most likely to kill you in your sleep…🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, the main reason I don’t like logging boots is the weird curved heel. I get the purpose behind them but always found them odd looking. Also, is it not possible to sew through around the entire boot? I’m assuming it would stretch the leather weird or something?

    What do you mean "sew through around the entire boot"? Are you talking about the thread that goes through the outsole, midsole and vamp?

    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 👀👀👀

    Хула на Духа Святого и Бога происходит попираете символ жертвенности Иисуса Христа на подошве обуви. Опомнитесь и покайтесь иначе ответите вскоре перед Богом за это.
