In this video, we rebuild the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot. We remove and review all of the old leather pieces and cardboard and rebuild the boots with thicker, more durable leather components. These upgrades add durability, comfort, and longevity to the boots. Nicks Boots are created using only the top-quality materials on the market. When you invest in Nicks, you invest in comfort for your feet and unparalleled durability.

NOTE: This video is for entertainment and education purposes only. We offer this rebuild service for Nicks Boots only, for less than the price of a new pair of boots. This provides a service to our customers at a great value. The rebuild allows you to keep your broken-in upper and refresh the portions that receive the most wear and tear.
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.

I think that people are missing a pretty important point when they are bashing on Wolverine for these boots in the chat. Price. You can buy at least two pairs of Wolverine 1000 miles (3 if you find a good sale) for the price of one pair of Nick’s boots. OF COURSE the Nick’s boots should be better (and they are). For the price bracket they compete in, I think that the construction and materials on the Wolverine’s are fine. I think that Wolverine should be commended for still building well constructed boots here in the US, rather than selling on name alone.
Love how Nick's solution to most of the rebuilt parts was leather, more leather, and even more leather

Yeah and make you pay out he nose to get it. $350 for a rebuild? Leather and manhours are expensive but not THAT expensive. I could buy multiple full hides for $300. I'm sure they could sell these boots for two thirds of what they do and still be in the green.

@@benningsniper9516 That's what they are charging you for, I can't request "hey could you just charge me for the materials and not the inflated man hours?'". You absolute moron. It takes roughly $50 of leather for the boot and I've seen how long it takes to make one. I think they are making a killing. Maybe not, I could be wrong. But that's how it looks to me.
This customer is now the proud owner of a better boot than the original. Very impressive work. 👏

Your kidding me. How is it possible for me , buying another pair of boots than Nicks after watching this clip? Love your brand, best wishes from Germany.
This Wolverine will last another 10000 miles ❤

Badass! I'm a retired union ironworker. If the was still working I would have to get some of Nick's boots. Here in Arizona I'm now a tennis shoe, flip flop, sandal kind of guy. Lol
Jesus . You basically build a brand new pair of boots . Beautiful. Now I want a pair of Nick's Boots .
Those are some serious upgrades. Even though that stitch down construction is incredibly rugged and utilitarian, if this was my pair of boots, I probably would have kept the welted construction method, just for ease of many future resoles. They look great though. It's always very satisfying to see boots get upgrades when they are recrafted. I'm planning on upgrading my 1000 Mile Boots when the time comes.

Wow this was a pleasure to watch
Now they are a Falcon!
These turned out fantastic & way better than new.
Amazing idea and craftsmanship. I just ordered my first ever Nick's boots a few weeks ago and I'm so excited for them to arrive. I love your shoes and I'm grateful for your very helpful KZread channel 🙏
Absolutely amazing!
Awesome video! I can’t wait to see more like this with other well-known boots.
Nice video. It's now a Nick's 1000 mile boot. It's now built like a tank. It should years more afte rthe rebuild..
It has now become the Wolverine 10.000 Mile boot.
That was the coolest boot rebuild I've ever seen.
Would love to see a rebuild of a Wolverine 1000 mile moc toe.!!
Amazing build!! Couldn’t love this video more!
Woah, shots fired!
Great video! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Gorgeous.
Great video, love the old and new (upgrades) comparison.
Outstanding craftsmanship!!
Absolutely love my 1000 miles. First boot that I've ever bought that I can take to a cobbler and they don't tell me it's not worth it or kinda impossible to fix them because of cemented construction nonsense. Great video! Hope to get some Nicks boots someday
Excelente trabajo ! los felicito , 👏👏👏👏👏
Good job my friend amazing god bless!!
Great work guys!
Awesome videos from Nicks…! I have a pair of 1000 mile boots but not built like the ones Nicks rebuilt here like the “Rock of Gibraltar”..! Love to watch Nicks skilled, expert artisans work on these boots… These guys and girls are all American bad asses…! Love it! G2… IN
Good looking,impresive
Very impressive work. Top notch
Awesome and amazing!
Excellent and extremely extremely impressive. Masterful Rebuilding to far better boot with all the upgrades. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥳🥳🥳🥳 The should really enjoy them 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great job !!!
Good Work Nick"s.
Wow. Just Wow.
The Wolverine 1000 Mile is a relatively light weight boot for walking around city streets, offices, residences etc... Nick's boots are heavy weight boots designed for outdoor work and, or, off road hiking. I own both Wolverine 1000 MIle and Nick's Boots and don't consider one "better" than the other.
Очень классно!
Gorgeous boot.
Awesome video !!!👏👏👏👏
Beautiful.... I'm still contemplating the double welt stitch. To me, it makes the boot less dressy....
@willykellum7668

no welt there in the rebuild. Just Sole. I do agree it doesn't look as dressy but reinforce stitching increases the boots' lifespan.
Just ordered a pair of Builder Pros. Can’t wait
Awesome!
Hope to see a Red wing 1907 get the same treatment.

Wolverine 100,000 mile boots !
They look great. My only complaint is that Vibram sole will wear down at pretty much the same rate as a normal 1000-mile boot. With converting them to stitch down they're going to be a pain in the rear end to get your local cobbler to resole them again. I would have rather kept the goodyear welted design
I love my Nick's 6in Moc Toe boots, with the exception of one thing, the 1/4 in thick midsole. The midsoles are so thick I developed plantar fasciitis on both my feet and bone spurs on both my heels trying to muscle that boot to bend during the break-in process. I've never felt pain like that in my life and had to go to the Dr. to find out what was wrong with me. I told my cobbler about my purchase and before I said anything about my problems he said to me, "the midsole gives many people problems and if you want bring them in and I can remove the slab of leather and resole them." After I got em' back, they fit like sneakers. I stopped wearing them until I got lucky enough to have my cobbler know and recommend this fix out of the blue, otherwise they sight still be collecting dust still.
Good job guys
I was gonna say at some point you might as well get a new pair but these boots ended up better than new. You couldn't buy those boots new if you wanted to. Great video, there is something satisfying watching true professionals apply there craft.
They made the good, best.
Better than brand new.
Amazing.
Wolverine became Juggernaut. Well done.
If I could afford Nicks I would love to buy a pair of those….. great video.! lovely neat pair of boots made with proper materials… great idea for a video…
Muy bacanes. So cool those boots
LoL!!! Totally dig the NICK'S stamp on the old uppers! "Gotcha Bitch"!!!
Awesome
Would love to see more slim boots in the future the way that one finished. Love my builder pros but wish I had a lightweight option.

Introducing: the Nicks x Wolverine 1 Million Mile boot
I’ve got a pair of iron rangers you could do next. Already a proud owner of a pair of Nicks with a second on the way. I’d love a pair of hybrids. 👍
Perfekt 👍✌️👏👏👏👏
Now, that's what I'll call Nicks Logan
so, this is beautiful work, but unless these are heirlooms, why not just buy a new pair? or is this a just-because-we-can sort of deal?
Достойный, хорошей оплаты, труд
That wasn’t a rebuild, that is a brand new pair of custom boots. Great looking boot that will last this guy a heck of a lot longer than that pair of Wolverines he had.
I recently bought a pair of Urban Drifters. Love your boots!! Any models that might be coming out that are not as rugged. More business casual, navy blue blazer oriented, like a 1000 mile might be? A Nick’s version of that?
Beautiful rebuild but it should be renamed the 50 Miler because there's's only 5% of the original boot left! 😂 Wish I'd bought some Builder Pros when my size was in stock in the ready to ship. 🥾🥾🤩👍
About how much would it cost to get a pair of 1000 miles rebuilt like this? Great work!
Красота супер 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Finally the 10000 mile boot! on another note, why use a leather Shank? Why not a steel shank or something much more rigid?
Shoe God 😇💪☝️
Quedaron cómo nuevas,yo quiero unas así de bonitas
The old version got coolest sole.
Obviously entertaining to watch and I loved seeing all the leatherwork - but these were Goodyear welted and are now a stitchdown construction from what I can see. What led to that decision?
@kartikchary

Guess they don't want to retain the fabric gemming, damn thing comes apart. Nick's does a stitchdown constructed on all their boots and they hold up very well. There are positives and negatives to both forms of construction.
My job is strictly shoveling, 8-12 hours a day, do you recommend a lineman shank and a lineman patch
Curious to see what y’all would do with like timberland earthkeeper style boots
These Wolverine 1,000 Mile boot just became the Wolverine 6,000 mile boots!
You should do a pair of Corcoran Jump Boots next
I didn’t notice any welt being added to the boots though…honestly it looks like a much better rugged and well finished boot…

No welting! We use a stitch-down method instead which we believe is stronger and longer lasting (also allows us to rebuild)
