I’m a Dad of twins and an owner of Nicks Overlanders. Cheers my friend!

I got the overlanders in smooth out leather for Christmas. I absolutely love them. Nicks boots are the best there is by far.

I ordered those a few weeks ago, can't wait for them to arrive.

Great review. I own a pair of Nick's Overlanders in Chocolate work leather ( yeah ,they were kind enough to make them for me) and I can definitely relate to your experience with the boots. Most comprehensive review I've seen in a while . Thank you

Love to see an update. Great job with b roll. Fantastic quality..

thanks for this video, I loved your honest clear review, and its helped me decided on this boot, ive never had a handmade boot and nothing at this price range but I work an 8-18 hour day in the touring music biz and on my feet in every kind of condition, so this is what I need. living in nz its a far away place to get the wrong boot so this helped me endlessly as I look through the nicks site trying to work out what I need and what suits my workalike. keep up the great work.

Thanks for all the info on these really helps make good decisions!

Love my Nicks, Great review..

Nicely done. Great comments, nice video content!

Great review! Thanks for posting this. Seems like the Overlander is perfect for what you need. I am in love with the overlander, but am worried about that tongue as well. I have a fairly high arch and a high instep. Getting in and out of my cowboy boots, for instance, can be a real pain (literally). I'm tempted to just go with an Urban Drifter which is essentially a 6" overlander.

Dude thank you! I’ve been looking for reviews of Nicks by real men. The overwhelming majority of reviews are from hipsters with like 100 pairs of boots. I need reviews from people who actually use their boots as intended.

Yeah, many young folks will buy this with daddy's money and never wear the boot to its actual purpose-built potential. I want a pair that can do it all for 10 years with one or two resoles over that time....not party shoes to show off. In a decade I wont be doing any outdoor work anymore...hell I may not even be here. Then my kids can fight over them. lol

Yep lol. I'm thinking about some Nick's in 1964 brown smooth over rough

What color is this 1964 roughout?? Looks great and am placing an order tomorrow. Great video. thanks!

Very nice looking boots

Nicely done! Can’t wait for my Nick’s kicks to arrive. Rose Anvil/Nicks ND 1s baby!!

Those look so awesome. I actually prefer the ND 1 look from his videos (no Nick’s for me yet) compared to the new 2 or his white’s collab. Congrats on getting on the preorder list for those

The ND3s look incredible too. Wish I had the funds

One day I will have the same pair. They look killer

Nice review

I have a boot on order right now with Nick‘s. The new 8 inch moctoe in 1964. The only thing that sucks now is that NIcks really doesn’t do a custom fit boot. They will send you a Tryon pair but that’s pretty much the extent of it. So that said I still can’t wait to get my boots and get them broken in to see exactly how comfortable they really are.

Are you sure? I got a custom fit boot just a year ago.

Amazing review. Congratulations on your boots🙌🏻

What type of heel is that, it’s not the max height right?

How are these handling all the shoveling that you mentioned with the leather shank? I’ve heard mixed things about the pnw style boots and shoveling tasks especially with the leather stack heal wearing out from the spade metal. Great real world review. Thanks

One of the comments you made had to do with the size. Most shoe/boot companies make the product in China. The Chinese use a different last and slightly different shoe sizing chart. It is not American standardized sizing. That is why most consumer based shoe/boot products are smaller. A perfect example is Alden. They use American standard sizing. I am a 12 D shoe and their shoes fit me perfectly. However, if I try a different shoe from China I need a 13 D or E. The sizing varies greatly. The good news is they told you you’d fit their boot in an 8 and it fit perfectly over time as you broke them in. The boots look fantastic.

What was your foot measurements? We seem to be close in size and just wondering if I ordered the right size!

Are these boots the same size as your Red Wings?

I have had my eye on the builder pro logger heel with 1964 smooth up top and roughout bottom. Thanks for doing this and helping me make a rather expensive choice in a more knowledgeable way. Cheers!

I received my overlander boots in oct also. The break in has been real tough on my right heal. Where your heal goes against the back healcup of the boot. Tried massaging, oiling, rubbing the inside of the healcup with dowel. To this day still healcup pain after 6-8 hours of wear. Kinda at a loss. Any suggestions would be great. The left foot is perfect. Weird.

Look into a boot / shoe stretcher. They’re on Amazon and Walmart

does this have a celastic toe?

Are these the brown or chocolate rough outs?

I might have missed it in the video, how long was the order process from start to finish? I’m 26 weeks into a Nick’s order that should arrive next week or the week after.

Did you get a soft toe? Thinking of getting a tan roughout pair. I've got a pair of the travelers ordered but they are smooth veg tan so i want a true work boot.

I got soft toe..I actually asked for a toe cap but they said go for it if you want but gave me a lot of good reasons not to bother. Doesn't really make much of a difference in strength unless you are crawling around on your knees a lot it might save the toes.

The lighting on this video is kinda weird. Are these boots roughout or smooth?

What color roughout is that

How much do they cost? All the best from New Zealand 😊

What is the over the toe steal toe thing do you got? Did you make that or bought it? If you did buy it can i have link or number to get a pair.

Depends on your trade. I think if I was on a concrete floor all day every day I would want something with a wedge sole. They definitely make wedge boots as well.

@spaldingpickers120

Yes as atrus sad, wedge or get a pair with “honey vibram sole” it’s a slightly softer sole. They will wear a little quicker but are many peoples favorites.

Their laces are great. I had some I bought from Tandy Leather and they aren't nearly as tough at around the same price.

Hi and apologies if you addressed the color in you video. Is your boot a chocolate RO or walnut?

Getting the right size will also be a bit of a challenge

why people, when they make a great boots like that, stick to the crappy vibram sole? I mean go out in the mug (remember, those are boots made for outside jobs!) and they will be clogged in 3 minutes.
