55 Last: 11D
Super comfortable last, especially on the Dogger Heel and moderate heel stack. The boot as far as the footbed goes was easily broken in. An 8 to 10 hour day boot out of the box. As far as sizing goes .5 down and same width worked perfectly for me. Since purchasing my boots I’ve seen recommendations from Nicks to go one down. I think this may be something if you have a very low volume foot, but it would not be possible for me to do that.

This boot is one that fits my the need of having a pull on boot that allows me to easily go from super nasty, muddy extreme sites to be able to slip off my boots relatively easily to enter a finished home and not have to mess with my hands getting dirty from laces. The other great thing about this boot is once cleaned up I can throw on with a pair jeans/pants and wear them out to dinner. “You can beat it up, but also take it out to dinner” Unnamed Nicks employee
The makers recommendation for the 55 last is half down from Brannock and same width. My feet are pretty regular, nothing too crazy going on, 99.9% of the time this works. I’ve heard recommendations of going a full-size down with the Stationmaster, but I think that may only work if you have a low volume low/instep foot.
Pretty easy online ordering process. A drop-down list to select the size,leather,last, out sole,heel/height etc… super straightforward. Any items that I wasn’t not familiar with was very easily to find on the site.
