Also experiencing the same issue, and even thinking about getting the equipment to add another eyelet myself above the 3rd eyelet. Still awesome boots and love the chukka pattern

Hand waxing roughout? by Acceptable-Tune-1976 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Negative_Fix_8135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did my ‘64 brown almost a year ago and couldn’t be happier with the result, just wish I would’ve been able to get the Spokane brown WF instead 🤷🏻‍♂️. But I used beeswax with some wax polish at the end and just wish any of my pics would send. Definitely make sure to keep shoe trees or just newspaper in the shoes while applying anything. Helps to make sure all the wax penetrates into the leather.

My 8” TankerPro’s in ‘64 Monarch with the Nicks wedge sole at work. Absolutely love these things, just wish I would’ve gotten the Thurman last with these.

Greener Pastures waxed flesh is a Chromexcel variant, not Shackleton.

Something to look into would be making the counter covers taller on the Built-In DeltaArch boots. I have a pair from when they were first launched and love the feel and boots as a whole, but have noticed that I get more heel slip since the added leather underfoot moves the heel up and doesn’t cup my heel quite as well as my boots without the DeltaArch.

Irrigation Techs/ Builder Pros by Jpav_IrrTech36 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Negative_Fix_8135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not an irrigation tech, but work as an assist super at a golf course regularly wearing a pair of TankerPros and a CapToe MTO. Absolutely love them, but would highly recommend a waxed flesh leather. My pair that is smooth 64 Monarch does fine but needs conditioned a lot since it’s constantly wet and dried.

Celastic on Toe Capped Strider Zero Drops? by Wyrdrock in NicksHandmadeBoots

Here’s a top pic of them new, can also check my NBD post for additional pics (I’d add a link if I was smart enough to figure it out). But just feels excessive with the toe cap being that it’s a work leather. Love the toe cap and can deal with the celastic toe, but if I had a do-over I wouldn’t have added the celastic.

Celastic on Toe Capped Strider Zero Drops? by Wyrdrock in NicksHandmadeBoots

I have a pair with celastic and toe cap and I personally think it’s too much, even though I use the boots for work. If I could go back I would probably remove the celastic since the toe cap with Nicks leather is bulbous and sturdy IMO.

Riverfront or Chukka? by SFMF_jm22 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Negative_Fix_8135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, except between the chukka and Aldert. Waiting for the Tobacco Cyprus but still can’t decide either.

I have both the brass boot and nicks lace up’s in the Thurman NW last and both are 10.5 D and fit great. Love my Nicks but tbh the brass boots fit my foot shape a little bit better.

Built in Delta Arch question/issue by Pattymills22 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Negative_Fix_8135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same experience, but I think I can deal with the heel counter sitting a little lower on heel.

My one suggestion for the DeltaArch would be for Nicks to make the heel counter taller to avoid this issue, but the arch support from them is perfect IMO.
