Nicks Handmade Boots
Ordered my twin brother a black cxl heritage tankers.
These are my 6th pair.
This pair was the pair I won from last year's contest. So I placed order online. I did forgot to uosize my uppers. Bit gapped out.
Excavation, and multiple construction activities.
Break in was zero. Very soft temper. Almost floppy. Comfortable from the beginning. I thought they would be similar to the 64 brown. With venetian cream they darken alot. Crazy part is. They lighten back up. Definetly darken in worn areas. Tunnels stayed natural. Didn't condition till 3rd n 4thmonth with bick 4. 5th and 6th with venetian cream.
Softer leather did stretch a bit. I did order Nicks new insoles for these. But still waiting. Moderate arch worked well. But I do prefer a full height high arch.
Well I did change the vamp area. Theres been a conversation of the vamp upper area opening up. Started calling it the Predator face. So came up with the idea of closing it up. Most guys install laces. Defeats the purpose of the design. So I made sheild badge. I wish there pairs had loops on the backstay for the straps. Like Franks do.
Da best!
Highly recommend. Been a pleasant surprise. Another year well protected. Lots of compliments.
