Wow the contrasting of the heel direction of the grain to the vamp is amazing looking. Truly beautiful boots!

Our cutter did wonders with the little amount of shark we had!

It's amazing how many things I didn't know I wanted until I saw them being made!

DAMN. Generally , I wouldn't be the least but interested in having a pair of shark skin work boots, but that is a gorgeous pair of boots. Well done.

You’re company make some of the most amazing boots I’ve ever seen

Those are absolutely beautiful but would violate the deal I have with sharks, that I won’t consume them if they don’t consume me. Maybe a bison leather with rough texture might look close. Beautiful for sure.

I agree. I have watched enough of these build videos that I understand the overall process pretty well. I often just skip to the end to see the final product. Would love to see more commentary, especially from the folks who are having to do the work on why this is different.

Wow, just wow. The thoughts by the workers were a nice addition. Great music, too.

Great job. Awesome machines and tools as well.

I appreciate the craftsmanship and using exotic leathers for no other reasons such as "why not?" and "because the leather looks so good!". Frankly not a fan of ostrich, bison is fine but these are just awesome!

Shark and Stingray are hard-core and are used on the best working cowboy boots you can buy. I'm glad to see them in these type of work boot. I may get some lowers in shark on my next customs.

You guys are AMAZING 👏 THE CRAFTSMANSHIP IS TOP NOTCH !!!

Love these last few exotic boot builds, totally unnecessary and have no purpose being on a work boot but they look so good. I also like having the little bits of commentary every now and then

Some exotics are for dress and do not belong on a work boot, However some exotics are better Than cowhide in many ways. Pure Stingray,Elephant,shark,hippo,boar,kudu, to name a few are all much stronger and tougher than the best cowhides. Cowhide isn’t bad of course but some exotics are better but come at a cost. I too like the Commentary and wish there was more sometime

The shark is so tough and for sure belongs on a work boot but imo probably just on the lowers.

You obviously aren't familiar with shark leather. It's the one of, if not THE most durable boot leathers there is. To my knowledge, the only leather with higher abrasion resistance is stingray... but the texture of stingray collects debris and shortens wear life. I have owned two pair of shark boots. One has been through three sets of soles, despite having almost never seen pavement. As of this year, they'll be 28 years old, and belonged to my father before 2009... and they never had an easy life with him. Despite the abuse, they've never required repair to anything but the soles.

​@christianjondahl7198 - shark is a fine choice for the uppers on a logger boot. The extra puncture and abrasion resistance is well worth it, compared to traditional cowhide. Shark has about the same puncture protection as bison or elk, while having better abrasion and water resistance, at significantly lighter weight.

Love these exotic builds!! Waiting on my bison falcons to be built currently!!! Can’t wait to see those!! Thanks guys!!

Stunning craftsmanship

Good looking boots!

Great looking boots.

These boots are so sick!

Perfect content.

Amazing

Love my Nick's Wildland boots. Maybe try stingray skin next. Its a lot of fun to work with.

Avocado skin boots ,nice!

I was watching the video and I thought boys are nice I don't care how much they are I'm going to buy a pair and then I looked down and see they're not going to produce and sell what a tease LOL

I wonder if shark leather is more water permeable since they live in the sea

Hi . I'm from morocco . It's a great job

Meticulous work! Beautiful boots.

Shark skin? I don't know, there's something kind of fishy about that!

Now how do I get me some of those??

Amazing work!!! The only thing, it seems to me that the thread on the sole should lie in the groove, otherwise you walk on the thread and it will fray it. What do you think?

This leather looks identical to the shark skin leather on the Tecovas The Quintins. What type of shark did these come from? Nicks I’m not sure if y’all know?

I wonder what shark leather abrasion resistance is like

Nick's shark boots Do do do do do do Nicks' shark boots Do do do do do do

I’m curious to hear why they had to remove the liner (the extra liner of natural cxl) in the vamp when lasting. What was the problem they were having.

@nicksboots

Жыл бұрын

The problem was that there was too much material to comfortably pull around the last, the shark doesn't stretch as much as our cow leathers therefore compounding the problem. We kept the upper liner but the lower is only 2 layers, all a part of the trial and error process of these videos!

Shark Beasts!

I am jealous. I want these

need some white tail deer skin hiking boots with zip-up sides made how much if i brought the skins to you ?

Lol the first exotic build id wear

4 and half oz means how much thickness

Top demais essa bota.❤

thanks, but how do you measure the ounces? isn't it a weight measure not a thickness?

@eingames9931

Жыл бұрын

Way back in the days before reliable gauges they would cut out a section of the hide of a certain size(can't remember what) and weigh it. This weight would give a relative thickness of the hide. But when good gauges came along nobody needed to sacrifice part of the leather anymore. However, the description of ounces has stuck in many places.

Just curious, do the guys in the shop fight over who _gets_ to do the exotics, who _has_ to do them, or are they just another pair through the line?

@nicksboots

Who has to do them, they are a whole different process and generally much thinner and easy to ruin leathers, however we have a great team in production to make these boots a reality!

Are these boots for Dennis Leary..? He already has one pair of fish boots...A truly one of a kind pair of boots.

Just kupchak I see getting Nell boot 😮te lock because during outlet diligence too uender 😮because they te Lucas 😮jobs happened boot today thanks 🥰🥰👍hand hold job shows your

Awesome boots. Sorta resemble bison leather.

I bet its the opposite of kangaroo leather, very low puncture resistance but extremely high abrasian resistance, given their tissue environments

@blackdeathrodrigo

I have never tested its puncture resistance, but its abrasion resistance is sublime.

So are these waterproof? :)

@blackdeathrodrigo

Yes, shark leather is one of the most waterproof (without adding chemicals) because it must isolate the shark from the water so that it does not lose moisture through the osmosis process. It is also one of the most resistant to abrasion.

Poor Bruce. Although, he always did seem like the blue-collar type.

Next week will we see snake skin shoes? 😊

​@@lyodbraunI have had a couple pair of kangaroo boots, and plenty of Held gloves. I think they'd stand up just fine for lasting at full thickness. From what I remember reading, they shave the leather down to top grain or split grain, (can't remember which,) for motorcycle gloves. Now, the other piece I remember is that kangaroo leather doesn't breath well, because they only have pores in their tails. Personally, I'd like to see them go for the north American equivalent pest, some white tailed forest rat (deer) boots.

Bad 2 the bone.....need I say anymore???🙌

The hardest part of working with shark, is that it doesn't stretch. Great for the finished product... a real pain for the cobbler who's using templates made for cow hide 🤦‍♂️ For those who can afford it, shark is the best leather available for work boots.
