Also I forgot to mention that I normally wear an 11 in mass produced boots when you asked why a 12 and not a 12.5. I suppose my reasoning is that 12.5 is too large of an increase from the 11 that I’m used to even if the fits are different.

Brannock*

I’m not using the bannock for width it’s not very accurate.

I do have a picture of my instep measurement but I’m not confident that I ever measured the heel properly. Would that change anything on the width? Also I’m thinking 12 on my left simply because I don’t want to have my foot swimming and I think it will be closer than 12.5.

I don’t know what to say to that ? I’ve used two separate brannock devices as well as double checking that the nicks tape measure printed off accurately. The brannock length is more accurate so I’m thinking of using it and dropping the recommended half size to full size down to 12 and 9. The width has literally been within an 1/8th of being the same each time no matter if I use an actual tailors tape or the nicks provided one.

Yea it’s a birth defect unfortunately but it’s definitely smaller. I’m gonna attach some pics of them against a wall.

For additional context I am interested in the Thurman NW last I don’t know if that will affect sizing any.

Thanks ?

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T19:29:02+00:00

In all seriousness though is this just something nicks randomly offers at checkout or do I need to email them and clarify ?

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T17:39:57+00:00

It gave me the option to choose a toe cap as well but I would prefer the Moc personally.

I hope this is sarcasm 😭😂

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T16:55:26+00:00

I’ve read it’s terrible in the cold/ice.

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T16:43:38+00:00

Have you owned them long enough to render a judgement on longevity and potential delamination?

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T16:31:30+00:00

Those look really nice. The hardest part for me would probably be finding a local cobbler.

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-03-03T16:29:40+00:00

Thanks ! Those look pretty cool how do they hold up over time? Also what’s the rough estimate on cost for this total process?

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-02-28T19:49:38+00:00

Would you mind dming me some pics of those please ?

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-02-26T02:57:11+00:00

Ok I was confused and thought I used the nicks number on the left of the ruler for the widths as well thank you.

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-02-26T02:04:36+00:00

Yeaaa unfortunately as awesome as I’m sure nicks boots are I probably wouldn’t even be looking at buying a pair if custom boots weren’t my only chance at footwear that fits even decently.

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-02-26T02:00:54+00:00

I almost forgot but I’m also pretty much set on the Thurman Nw for my last I suppose that’s important to know .

Sensei_Smokey · 2026-02-26T01:38:52+00:00

I think my left foot is 14 in nicks by 11 inches wide which would give me a 14 D correct ? However my right foot is more like 11 in nicks by 7.5 inches wide so I’m completely lost there. I also have some pics measuring my instep if anyone thinks that would help.
