I chose brown cxl because I love the patina in it. The leather shows black, brown, and light brown. I also really loved the look of the two piece sole. I think it gives them a cool old school look. The entire makeup provides a good platform for the work I do, electrical testing. The boots are tough enough and comfortable to walk around auto and water plants all day, and then wear at home to work on the house or car or whatever I’m up to. I plan to even wear them at my wedding.
I followed Nick’s online guide and printed off the measurement papers. I used them to trace my foot and that got me close. I have a pair of builder pros that I sized up a little in and I wear them with a leather insole because they’re a touch big. These boots I downsized a touch because they are a slip on and they feel nice and snug, but not too snug.
Very good. All done online using Nick’s easy to use website.
I have used these boots for everything! Construction work, yard work, working on cars, the house, playing with the kids, walking in the snow, traveling, everything. They are a great well rounded boot. They are tough, but not too heavy.
Very well. They had a very quick break in period. They felt comfortable out of the box, minus a slight squeeze on my small toes. After about a month that was gone. I tend to get relaxed with my care routine. I like to brush them or wipe them down with a damp rag every couple days to keep the work dust off of them. Sometimes they go a week or more before this happens. About every two weeks I like to give them some mink oil with a rag. Other than that I just wear them!
Excellent. I don’t know if there is another last that would fit my feet better. I can wear them all day and be perfectly comfortable. I used to have plantars fasciitis pretty badly and struggled to stay on my feet all day. This last has helped me to get a lot of relief.
All perfect. I don’t think there are any flaws to this build.
I like them. I think they have a great look. For the work I do, mostly indoor concrete floors, I think they’re great. They offer good grip and have held up well for being worn everyday.
Definitely would recommend. These are my first handmade engineer style boots and they are very worth the money.
