He def does. Nothing more annoying than being indecisive and not having someone push you in a direction, otherwise that kind of person will 100% walk out with nothing n probably never come back, due to being mentally overwhelmed with the massive options. The only way, for me, they can make this any better. Would simply be with the mto process. If ur newbie, itd be cool af to be able to build you boots, in a similar fashion to building you car online. If i add this, i can see the change. If I add that, I can see the change and so on. That would both separate this company from every other, and also aloow them to let other companies (for a huge price) utilize their proprietary framework built for this process.

The 67 really helps if you are up in the woods on odd terrain. It also positions your toes differently to prevent hammer toe. Besides that I found the 55 last a bit easier on standard ground such as asphalt, linoleum, or concrete. Feel wise I like both, for me personally the 67 would be a harder break in by the nature of my own feet. I already own the HNW in two boots and am picking up the 55 last. I have absolutely no break in other than the footbed with their HNW last but the 55 and the 67 lasts arch support is by far superior. So different boots for different applications. I do hope that helps you!

From their site:If boots normally fit you, you’re in luck. Nicks Boots will fit a bit large compared to your mass-produced footwear. For a more snug fit, select a ½ size smaller than your mass-produced shoe size. Example: If you normally wear size 12D, you could order a size 11.5D in Nicks to achieve a snug fit. If you would like a little bit more room in your boots, you can order your normal boot size.

Certainly depending on the model but something like a builder pro is meant for wild land firefighters and loggers who huff it all over mountains. Appreciate you watching mate and best of luck finding some boots, can’t go wrong with Nicks! 🥾🥾

I stopped by their store a feel months ago. I wear 10.5 in Nike shoes. He measured my feet and said my feet are unusually wide. The made me size 8.5 extra wide. Now I know I should buy wider sport shoes.

@@GentlemansJourney I found a fit video on their channel later and it shows that they ask you to take full measurements of both feet. I am probably gonna pull the trigger and but some. I just hate to spend that much on boots if I end up unhappy. Everything I am seeing is leading me to go ahead and give them a try. My current work boots hurt my feet and they are a couple years old. I know if I drop a couple hundred bucks now my feet will be hurting in another year or two.

I notice you don't measure arch length, just foot length. My arch length is 1/2 size larger than my foot length, and it is this that I've been told to use for my "Brannock size". Also I've been told to take Brannock sizes while standing as each persons foot flattens out to different degrees while bearing weight, lengthening their foot more than when not bearing.

I've had many measurements by now and I gotta say, altering being fit for my Nicks Urban Loggers, they ended up being a great fit for me. Just my experience.

If im spending $500 on a pair of boots, they better do my work for me. I thought $320 red wings were expensive. Jesus Christ. $500 is just too much. My $120 wolverine moc toes have held up great, still holding up, comfortable as hell too.

That's 11E 10 inch 3. Last The last is what gives a boot its overall shape and size. For Nicks it also determines the level of arch support in the boot. We offer three different lasts, with two different arch profiles. The 11067 and 55 lasts both have our "classic arch" which has a oaktanned leather arch piece. The HNW last is our moderate arch. Due to the shape of the HNW last, it is only available with our moderate heel height. nicksboots.com/buying-guide/

Countless reports of them being breathable. However they are not made specifically to be breathable in that they are the thickest leather around. They are often used by wildland firefighters, Forestry workers and Loggers. Does not seem to be an issue with people in these groups.
