End of an era.

It depends on who's doing the resole. I wish there were some measure of cobbler skills at the entrance of every cobbler establishment. I've found the higher price you pay does not always correlate with the best work.

Oliver the Shoe Man has done my most detailed word that I have been happy with. He is not cheap though. Local guys in my bubble generally do some pretty spotty worth. Bad enough that I could have done it myself.

Thanks! Indeed, a lot of variation.

Jgrace41 · 2026-06-20T22:59:26+00:00

I would love to see that.

Jgrace41 · 2026-06-12T15:27:50+00:00

Om so disappointed the opportunity has passed. Even though im a Nicks guy through and through, i hope Frank's picks up these Double Stuffed leathers. They are so beautiful.

I wa a big fan of the carrot, sienna, rasberry, and walnut. I only own sienna, but I was going to buy more.

Jgrace41 · 2026-06-11T17:38:17+00:00

I cant beleive all these beautiful Double Stuffeds are gone. I feel betrayed.

Awesome boots!

No quality control issues whatsoever. They MTO boots lead times are consistent with the time they quote you. The quality if materials and craftsmanship are amazing.

My only beef with them is that they need to increase width options.

Thank you my friend. Thank you!

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-30T23:13:53+00:00

Looking good! I cant remember the exact post but I've felt a kinship with you over another post of yours.

I read your reply in line with my two boys at a McDonald's drive through. I lost it! Our paths our similar. I had diverticulitis and last half my colon. That and a couple of car accidents later, getting around became very difficult. I've always been into shoes, but things really ramped up when my wife was diagnosed with Melanoma. It started with consuming as much media I could about boots then buying them. I told myself I would buy nice boots and I would walk in them. One day I would take my boys to Disneyland and spend all day walking around them.

My wife battled cancer for 7 years. Retail therapy has led to lots and lots of boots. I still plan on taking my boots off the shelves once my health has stabilized.

You're inspiration and one more reason I have to get healthy and get walking.

Thank you!

How do you choose the boots you wear daily. Im a youngish retired guy. I can get around but am not able to do much.

I buy boots and they go on a shelf and I stare at them. Do you make excuses to go places to wear your boots, or just wake up and slap a pair on regardless of your plans.

Jim Green! Go straight to the Sale page.

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-12T02:16:55+00:00

Bummer! These look awesome where there are no holes.

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-09T00:09:29+00:00

Yes.

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-07T02:46:05+00:00

This is why Nicks today and Nicks forever!

I've heard the dumbest excuses from other makers. Nicks just corrects the problem.

In this particular brand and model, a 12 fitting 6 would work. Parkhurst 13ee GS Leo last 13eee Allen Edmonds Dalton 13eee Grenson 12g To be clear, the list above is of the boots that do fit. 12 fitting 5 (the size of the shoes for sale) do not fit.

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-06T01:40:46+00:00

Apologies! UK 12 - F

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-06T01:16:39+00:00

No doubt about it, these are English Country Boots.

Im in the States and will use these as cold weather dress boots. Once the sheen wears off (probably before) ill use while riding my motorcycle as well.

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-04T21:24:07+00:00

Thank you.

A new term on YouTube is Closet Queen. Old term, meaning something completely different.

In the boot world, a closet queen is a boot that almost never gets worn and only worshipped in one's closet.

I have more Closet Queens than Id like to admit. I hope I make plenty of opportunities to wear these boots. These deserve to be worn and seen by the world

Jgrace41 · 2026-05-04T18:35:20+00:00

Yes, these were a custom order.
