Congrats man, they look great, with some break in they should be easier to wear and take off. I recently got my Wesco Mister Lou’s and they were pretty painful at first but after a few weeks they start to feel a lot more comfortable. A shoehorn also goes a long way for me with these too

Wesco Mister Lou? Oh man I am so jealous now. I wish I could get my hands on a pair of those. Too bad my feet are tiny and they don't make stock sizes in my size. Best of luck with those awesome boots.

The putting on/pulling off sounds somewhat similar to my initial woes with Redwing Pecos. Wearing and walking helped either stretch or form the body of the shoe to let my foot in with far less effort. With regards to the sock shifting thing... yeah, that's a massive annoyance. Recently I got a cheap stainless steel shoe horn to see if that would help. It did for me. Perhaps a shoe horn would help you too.

If you read correctly when you order boots from Nicks it recommends you size down 1/2 size when ordering pull up boots. I received my nicks Pullman blk/roughout. They fit me perfectly. Don’t size down a whole size. Bad ass boots though. I like those 🤙🏼 When you described taking them off, I was hollering! 😂🤣🤣

Yeah sizing a whole size down definitely contributes to why it is difficult to put on and take off. However when I was in store, sizing down a whole size just felt more secure, and once it is on my foot, it actually fits pretty well as long as my socks aren't too thick.

Awesome video!! I just got so lucky and won Exceptional Nick's boot in the Patina Thunderdome and got to choose any Nick's MTO boot. I chose the Wickett & Craig Station Master with Natural Double Stuffed leather. I had to go all in lol. I never see myself spending almost 1000 on one pair of boots..so this was a no brainer for me. Can't wait!!

You struggled to remove the boots 👢..? It’s called a boot jack my brother 😎 I wear cowboy boots and it makes my life easier

Nice video! enjoyed how well spoken you talked about the boots. Good presentation on the boots, enjoyed the specific outfit recommendations too.

Thank you for the kind words!

IMPORTANT NOTE! I forgot to mention this in the video, but these boots are handmade, generally made to order. If you do not select a quickship pair, there will be a lead time. For mine, I had to wait about 2-3 months before mine finally arrived. Depending on the leather, it may take longer. My dad went with a special leather so his took about 6 months to arrive. In my opinion along with my dad's, the wait is well worth it! Visit their FAQ page if you have any other questions. nicks.gorgias.help/en-US Furthermore, a viewer has brought to my attention that the engineers specifically can't be rebuilt, sorry for my mistake.

Saw a vid not long ago about how to gently stretch the leather along the pass line to solve your problem. Just wish I could remember who did it. Thankfully, my Nicks are lace up. Hope that the boots get better for you.

Found the vid- on the channel Clover Oak two weeks ago.

Do yourself a favor and get a boot jack. It's mandatory for easily taking off pull-on boots

Also long shoehorn, or even a folded plastic bag will help slip them on. Especially in the beginning break in.

You hate them? you better grow to love them soon! BTW, you should have added a clip of you and your roomate wrestling with the boots. In fact...I can spend 5 minutes watching that video alone...

The on and off should get easier after a few months. A good engineer boots takes a while to break in.

Yes, that is very true. It has gotten easier over time, I'm sure if I wore it more, I would be able to break it in alot easier. Still, it is quite a workout to take off even now. Very excited for it to be fully broken in.

I had engineer boots very hard getting on but could take them off easy. Maybe you sized down too much. Hopefully they break in more.

Lucky you, I'm quite sure my room mate hates helping me take off the boots, it's a complete workout.

Haha why? Just because they are tough to put on? May be fair. 😂
