I'm a sucker for green boots. This was my first Olive Chromexcel. My first 67 last boot. And my first honey v100 sole. I love how the single piece back stay adds a heavy butt end that complements the tall toe of the 67. These honey soles look pleasing with the green leather. And they softness of the honey sole makes wearing them on concrete for long hours easier. That extra softness also leads to a lighter boot and a more flexible boot.
I have other Nicks boots. So once I figured out the size I liked in the 55 last. I ordered the same size in the 67 and that worked out great for me.
Easy online ordering
Mostly just to work which is an office setting. Or shopping around town.
The leather is so supple and soft. With an almost wet oily feel to it. It's easily my favorite leather. It's one of those leathers that you just want to keep rubbing. The smell is awesome, just like most cxl. And it still has that great leather smell go this day. The color is changing to be more brown than green. The heel counters are starting to burnish which creates a dark almost black like color.
The tall toe box and sprung toe is the shape that best fits my foot. I like more square toe boxes and toe splay. This last fits that bill. The HNW last and even a little on the 55 can push your big toe inwards a bit. This is more straight on the bug toe. I love the high arch support which is similar to the 55 last.
I love the unlined and cut top. It really let's you enjoy the inside of the leather.
Super comfy, light, and flexible. I wish they would make a 430 mini lug sole out for the honey compound. Even if it wears down fast. I would gladly do it
It was fun and will continue to wear these weekly as part of my rotation.
