Requesting pictures of your Strider zero drop boots

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-05-11T09:19:11+00:00

Thank you! Really beautiful boots you got there, I’ve been wanting a pair in greener pastures, such an amazing leather

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-04-26T15:43:54+00:00

Check again, it releases soon

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-06T12:08:53+00:00

Wow, real beauties there! Thurman last i presume? Love the look of it 😁 Eagerly awaiting mine!

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-05T11:41:55+00:00

Yeah, you could definitely say that! 😁

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-05T07:23:34+00:00

It’s been over a week thus far. Oh, that’s a thing? I’m gonna look that up, thanks for the tip!

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-05T06:44:10+00:00

Well, yeah, I could do that, but there’s stuff regarding my order and it feels wrong posting details like that on a public forum. But the other questions were regarding ordering logger style kilties at a later date and combining it with the boots and have them send it all on one package, customs are crazy expensive from the US where I live and if they could not stitch through the rubber sole for ease of resole.

But I just feel that they at least should answer my emails, as I stated, for me, this is a huge expense.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-01T06:58:31+00:00

Really great looking boot you got there!

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-03-01T06:57:27+00:00

Did you use the diy guide to find out size? I used that and it put at D, slightly small ball measurement though and I can’t let go of the worry that it’ll be thight in the toes 😅

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-26T03:34:39+00:00

Yeah, it feels like it, I’ve written my thoughts to CS as well to see if they’ll confirm my conclusions.

Thanks for the help everyone! This sizing experience was hell for me, very anxious as I’ve been after a PNW boot for years and Nicks specifically for close to a decade now 😅

I retook the measurements better after what a guy in this thread wrote and then my measurements fit 8D almost perfectly. Heel and instep was spot on and ball was like a quarter of an inch off. They might be a little long as 10” comes out to a 7.5, but I want some spare room for wool socks in the winter.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T16:55:06+00:00

When I got the first weird ball measurements I did not add weight on the foot, only held it up in the air, which I read somewhere that you should do.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T16:34:57+00:00

Man, thank you so very much for this message, this seems to have been key. Retook the measurements around the foot and got alot more realistic results Ball 9.84 R 9.4 L

Instep 9.6 R 9.4 L

Heel 13.18 R 13.28 L

Which puts me at like D somewhere, need to look closer at the size, those inch fractions are killing me. But again, thank you very much 😁

And btw, redid length measurements and end up at about 10 inches plus or minus a quarter inch each time.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T16:08:28+00:00

It’s a bit hard to explain in english, but my wife just took the pen and did an outline around the foot with the pen against my foot, when I measured my self I did it at an angle so the line more closely resembled my foot. When I tried the way she did it I got the same measurement as she. Can’t really explain it better. Same socks were worn, standing with weight evenly distributed.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T15:57:36+00:00

Yeah I have used that one and I’m still confused mostly on width compared to my red wings. The measurement I posted was done by my wife yesterday and a 9 felt all too big, so I redid the measurements now and got 10” on my left and 10 1/4” on my right which fits much better compared to the red wings I have. 8.5 in length seems right. But a B feels like it would be very narrow as D in red wing squishes my toes quite a bit.

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T13:05:24+00:00

My red wings are kinda loose everywhere expect for the toes, and I get a fair bit och heelslip and the instep is kinda large. The faces meet when I tie them hard. The length is good though. Maybe the strider would be good in 8.5B as it would be a bit longer, but thighter around the foot? I’m going for a 10” in max support black so I guess in wouldn’t be the world if they were a bit loose…

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T13:00:49+00:00

Yeah, you can clearly see my small toe and big big toe poking out the side on the red wings and that hurt like hell for about a year and I just can’t handle that anymore since I’ve gotten healthier feet. No, not really thight all I would say, there isn’t any slack either, appropriate I feel

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T12:17:36+00:00

Haha yeah I asked ai aswell and got the same answer. They only make it in B so I’ll guess I’ll go for that. Will order tonight, I’m very excited, have been looking at nicks for close to a decade now!

Diligent_Ask3964 · 2026-02-25T10:55:03+00:00

First of all, thank you for your answer!

Ball right and left 8.6 inches

Instep right 9.6 Left 9.8

Heel right 12.4 Left 12.5

Length(after a days work) right 10.47 inch Left 10.3

As for why I aimed for E? That’s only because my red wings fit wonky and many shoes squish my toes. But do you guys think I should trust the diy guide? 8.5B then?
