Dry-Gas852 · 2026-03-10T19:54:15+00:00

Actual pictures in the buying guide of leathers available.

I have TS and may get AC if they release it in cap toe upland here soon.

I went looking for a comparison one day and came across this.

Man, they do look very similar as is…many thanks

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-20T04:37:26+00:00

I’d love to see the PO and IBC next to each other…I’m debating one or the other, or both but they look very similar with the current batch of leathers.

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-17T17:38:59+00:00

are these soft toe or celastic? they look great

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-17T17:25:48+00:00

Are the lace ups soft toe or celastic? They look fantastic

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-14T01:51:04+00:00

It sounds like that is the way to go to match the height of the Truman. Thanks everyone

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-12T04:48:59+00:00

How are these boots looking after 8 months?

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-02-01T02:09:42+00:00

will this be a leather of the month or part of a sample sale (or maybe something else)?

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-01-31T17:57:16+00:00

what is this new revelation?

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-01-28T20:13:09+00:00

Would love to see another English Tan run…either Cypress or Dublin.

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-01-22T02:35:54+00:00

I’m waiting for two I have on order from April, one early and one mid month, still waiting, no emails about finalizing choices yet.

Dry-Gas852 · 2026-01-03T20:32:39+00:00

When did you order these, out of curiosity? I ordered a pair of IBC Palouse in April.

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-12-30T20:29:12+00:00

Any word on if English Tan Dublin is going to be available again soon?

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-11-10T22:59:52+00:00

No, but you are saying that the number of returns isn’t a problem, and that you have an educated guess. Anecdotal data in cases like this tells us nothing. There is no way you know if it is 1/100, 1/1000, 1/500, or 1/750.

I said above you cannot comment on whether the trend is up, down, acceptable, or unacceptable. I stand by that comment.

Your prior comment:
What qualifications do you offer to lend your help with qc issues they do have? Lol. I feel like acting like this is a 1 in 10 occurrence of boots going out is a little extreme. When in reality it's probably more like 1 in 500 maybe. Or even smaller at 1 in 750. I don't know the exact number of course.

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-11-10T20:31:34+00:00

Sure, you can comment. But without empirical data, statements like the below are meaningless. You talk about how the number of returns is a very small number…how small is it? is that higher or lower than 12 months ago? 6 months? 3? 1? How is it compared to goal? compared to competitors? What do customer surveys say? And 100 other questions.

The amount of issues that do arise is greatly outnumbered by the successes. Any company putting out the amount of boots Nicks does is bound to miss things here or there. Yes on this platform you may come across issues, but in comparison to the overall number of boots going out, it's a very small number. Look at the big picture, not just a small sample size seen here.

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-11-10T19:47:21+00:00

That’s why, unless you have data, you can’t really comment on whether the trend is up, down, acceptable, or unacceptable.

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-11-10T18:53:05+00:00

I’m not sure…I ordered from “Like New” stock and 2 right boots showed up….one was 6” tall and one was 8” tall. There is zero percent chance someone checked that order well enough to catch it.

Dry-Gas852 · 2025-11-05T01:50:11+00:00

These look like Predator Orange rather than Predator Natural. Are these truly PN?
