I'm a residentially challenged recovering drug addict. $600 was a huge investment for boots but I had been lurking NICKS webstore and was not eager about the lead times. NICKS ran a special for the Patina Thunderdome with expedited lead times so I pulled the trigger on the DomePro because the Thunderdome seemed like a great distraction from the monotony of life.
I went to Redwing and used their foot scanner to get my foot measurements. I then used NICKS printable sizing guide and followed their recommendation of half size down from bannock. Redwing said my size was 12EE, that I had a medium high arch and a high instep. I ordered 11.5EE from NICKS and the fit is great.
I ordered online with a guaranteed delivery before the start of the Thunderdome. I received my boots Sept 5th and had to wait 4weeks to wear them. Man that sucked.
