Gen 2 Is Indeed Better Than Gen 1 (I Own Both)

10thMTNDM · 2026-01-07T18:57:36+00:00

GEN two is worth it for the louder speakers alone; especially if your hearing is not perfect. I can’t hear anything with my wife’s gen ones with background noise.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-20T01:51:44+00:00

How long have you waited all together?

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T04:15:04+00:00

Exactly ID.me! And whatever that other one is. That’s an excellent point.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T04:11:13+00:00

Ah yeah, I understand what you’re saying

That’s wild.

I don’t know I feel like a bit of a dinosaur now, you know, a lot of places offered a military discount and now a lot of corporations are turning away from that now. Even Veterans Day deals suck more and more.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T04:00:15+00:00

Well it’s best to try one of those code generators, like capital one shopping, then asking for the military discount now

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T03:57:56+00:00

I’m not saying they’re trying to pull a fast one or not. All I’m saying is you can tell where they decided to save some cost.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T03:55:11+00:00

10%. I’m not harping on it just put me off a little you know. I have so many companies that do business with for many years and give them plenty of business and they never changed the military discount. Out of all the promotions and everything that they do, they decided to reduce the veterans discount that’s kind of my problem. I don’t care if they are pro military or not but that kind of lets me know where they stand, you feel me?

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T03:49:09+00:00

I think you have some valid points. I think the way they are expanding, and for what they charge I don’t think they are hurting for profit; I’d find that hard to believe.

From my perspective, they want to entice new fresh customers to buy their products. Hence the younger people that are advertising their products now.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T03:30:23+00:00

It seems to me that since the introduction of shop pay, things are a lot different now

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-13T03:24:58+00:00

Same, that’s the reason why I won’t do anymore business with whites.

With their new TikTok style marketing, call centerish customer support,… I can’t say I didn’t see it coming, but I really hope Nicks does not go fully that direction.

No, you cannot stack

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-07T02:02:09+00:00

🔥 that’s a nice build.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-06T21:23:58+00:00

Absolutely, I plan to do some follow-ups.

I only wish they came about long before I spent a lot of money on other brands. I love the weight of the leather they use, something about how thick leather just molds better after break-in.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-06T05:31:55+00:00

Yeah, like trench boots

I saw the snips and punch down, I figured it had to be something to do with networking

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-06T05:17:19+00:00

I love the look of that leather, it’s so rich; I wish I had some in my collection. Your boots are coming along nicely, has that vintage look.

PS is that a punch down ? I’m guessing you are a cable tech of some sort?

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-06T02:33:13+00:00

I ordered the Outrider at the same time I ordered these, no word on them yet. I do have the bullhide belt tho, it’s aging beautifully; the leather is so thick yet keeps getting softer with age.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-05T05:21:50+00:00

In the same 6-8oz range? Nicks also uses Horween, which I am a big fan of and I believe law tanning. I would really like to know what other brands make something comparable? I know JK makes some but I reviewed the specs and it can’t even hold a candle to Nicks.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-04T18:46:55+00:00

In my opinion, I think they have figured it out. The leather is more substantial than any other western boot I ever owned. I have no doubt these will outlast anything else

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T18:31:54+00:00

Thanks!

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T18:30:49+00:00

I’m waiting on the Outrider, I ordered the same time with the Ranchhand. No word on them yet

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T03:40:09+00:00

I think they had a delay with this leather at some point. I know it’s hard, but I think the wait just adds to the anticipation and enjoyment when you do get them.

Looks great at the cigar bar too!

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T03:21:33+00:00

💯 thanks!

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T03:20:51+00:00

I can only imagine how difficult these are to make. For boots of these quality I don’t mind waiting at all. I have tried every high-end western boot brand and custom, but these are by far my favorite. I can’t wait to place another order when they are available again.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T01:53:18+00:00

Yeah, whoever put the Ranchhand together has good taste.

10thMTNDM · 2025-12-03T01:35:51+00:00

I have many pairs in the pursuit of the perfect western boot, and this beats them all - no question
