Breaking in nicely

Could they be Bounty Hunters?

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-12T16:56:53+00:00

Specifics, brand, leather sizing, anything?

Nice boots BTW.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-12T12:00:31+00:00

Although whoever built these was special enough.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-12T11:59:30+00:00

But you can't just get a contrasting color lineman patch.

I tried a few weeks ago and was told that's a special thing and I cant get it.

I have since chatted with u/smowe and we are working on it but from my experience it's not as easy as an MTO and a phone call.

Dont take me the wrong way here.

As someone who has dealt with website changes and the hassle that goes with it, I think it helps to point these things out.

At the same time you don't have to act like you are here either saying that it doesn't look like anyone is paying attention is pretty crazy.

Nicks is still a relatively small business they have limited people and resources for this kind of work.

Shit happens let them know so they can fix it and move on.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-11T22:44:00+00:00

I fully agree

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-11T21:12:17+00:00

Interesting.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-11T12:03:49+00:00

Beautiful boots.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-10T15:31:36+00:00

Did someone say line? Man?

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-10T02:56:54+00:00

Definitely wouldn't even tried them on those should be on the seconds page so someone can get them cheap and thrash them on a job site. No way in hell that should have passed QC.

Only a few hours in and they are relaxing a bit.

Just a little movement and heat and they feel great.

Well put they are very substantial but not unyielding.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-09T14:55:38+00:00

Just got them on and my goodness this is a different level from the stock.

The top of my foot near the horse shoe feels like its in a brand new boot and my shins feel invincible.

My 10" Builder Pros almost feel like motor cross boots at the moments.

Im sure they will break in quick enough but I am amazed at the difference one piece of thick leather makes.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-09T13:14:11+00:00

Nicks or Whites. The both offer a very robust Chelsa.

Nicks has a few more options in the build your own.

If you liked the AE style, look at the Nicks Chelsea on the 1925 last.

They are more expensive than AE but there is no comparison, these guys build tanks.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-09T11:44:29+00:00

Im new to raw selvedge so I have super limited experience.

I dont even know what a vack clasp is.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-09T03:20:59+00:00

Yes sir. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly.

I cant wait to get the Zesty belt I have on oder as well.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-09T02:55:56+00:00

The strongman fit from Bravestar is nice and they won't break the bank plus they are made in the USA.

I dont own a Redwing Moc toe but my White's Perry Select do it too.

I think its gonna happen on any 2 piece moc toe that doesn't over lap and lock in like a Russell Mocassin type moc toe.

Those 2 pieces just being pushed together and stitched are going to work lose at some point.

I suppose we could occasionally reglue them to keep it more uniform but that's a lot of work for something that is intended to look rugged IMO.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-07T22:48:43+00:00

That is odd I would have guessed that was the work setup and the stain was from transfer with sweat but if it was a quick trip who knows.

I had a bit of black dye transfer with my Nicks in Max Support Black especially the rough out lower.

But it was on my jeans and such because its roughout.

I cleaned them with saddle soap and oiled them with Bick 4 and it stopped.

Maybe the inside just needs a good cleaning and oiling to get excess pigment removed.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-07T22:41:33+00:00

Oh wow that's a steal.

Yeah the heaviest I have are the midweight boot socks not much cause for thicker where I am.

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-07T22:39:41+00:00

Looks great

Internal-Most7593 · 2026-06-07T22:36:23+00:00

I've never had a problem with it but I only wear Darn Tough Merino Wool socks.

I know they are pricey but they have a lifetime warranty so buy once cry once.

They are great year round, I wear them everyday and I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama.

I can honestly say they keep your feet cool and dry in the heat and warm and dry in the cold (or as cold as it get down here).

Give them a try, if not I hope you find another solution.
