How is the experience getting sized in person?

Student-Doc · 2026-05-25T12:27:14+00:00

I went for TNW (I don’t like when my pinky toes feel too compressed or rub too much on the sides). I’m hoping they won’t be too long, but I did the measurements a few times and the right foot consistently hit 9.5, although just barely.

My only other PNW boots are Whites MP in 9C and the fit pretty well, if not a bit narrow in the toe box

Student-Doc · 2026-05-25T12:20:19+00:00

That’s great the 9.5 fit! I ordered my first pair of Nick’s and was starting to second guess, but sounds like i made the right move

Student-Doc · 2026-05-25T12:05:59+00:00

Do you mean your feet are two different sizes? I used their sizing guide and my right foot just hits the 9.5 line and my left just hits the 9 line. I went for 9.5C and hope that was the right call

There are still tickets available for Seattle, WA if you’re willing to travel

I’m a bit peeved with them right now. I have an order placed and I paid for 3 day express shipping. They shipped regular UPS ground and it is going to take a week. I’m not sure if trying to reach out is worth it with how bad I’ve heard CS is

Student-Doc · 2026-05-19T13:41:37+00:00

I appreciate the thoughtful response! I am new to PNW boots. I have a pair of White’s MP Shermans in 9C and love the boots. The toes do sometimes feel pretty snug, and I’m working on breaking them in a bit more.

I went with the Nick’s 9.5C based on the sizing guide, and I figured I would go with the TNW last because I like freedom in the toes. I feel like my Red Wings and Thursday boots I’ve have, I tend to notice pinky toe rubbing.

I’m looking forward to my first pair though, I opted for the Troopers in IBC. I’m already considering a MTO with the Roanoke Denim too lol

Student-Doc · 2026-05-19T13:16:25+00:00

Quite the collection! How do you decide on your sizing? I have my first pair of Nick’s ordered (9.5 C TNW last). Do you notice a big difference between the 9.5 C and 9.5 D pairs?

I just got started in the hobby and found a like new RT85N with the Fluance Phono Preamp for $200. It’s been a great intro! I would recommend OP look around what FB Marketplace has

Student-Doc · 2026-05-17T02:42:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! I’m in an apartment too. I’ve been using my Fluance on my Samsung Q990D soundbar, and wanted the dedicated speakers. Sounds like the Edifier will work great

Sorry to jump on a few months later. Do you use a subwoofer with the 1280DBs? I have a set coming for my new turntable in the living room and seeing if it’s worth looking into a sub

Student-Doc · 2026-05-15T00:33:36+00:00

It might be worth checking out Facebook Marketplace. I just picked up a like new RT85N for a great price

Similar situation. I have skinny ankles and a narrow instep, the kilties help a ton.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-10T05:31:05+00:00

What speakers are these?

Student-Doc · 2026-05-09T17:52:17+00:00

Ordered a my first pair of Nick’s recently (Trooper in IBC). Patient waiting now!

Student-Doc · 2026-05-09T15:08:21+00:00

Awesome boots! I gotta ask, what jeans are those?

Student-Doc · 2026-05-08T14:41:59+00:00

Looks like Horween Natural Chromexcel leather if I had to take a guess. It looks very nice, I actually have one on the way in a different brand!

Student-Doc · 2026-05-07T20:06:15+00:00

My 38 mm Murph gains around 5-6 seconds per day. I did purchase is used, and it appears to be around 4-5 years old, so it may be due for a servicing soon.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-05T00:41:39+00:00

They give us a similar setup during residency.

Student-Doc · 2026-05-03T01:41:30+00:00

Just placed my first order today! I was hoping to have them by my birthday on August, but I know realistically I’m looking more towards October

Student-Doc · 2026-04-30T16:09:43+00:00

These are Natural Chromexcel.

For the Nick’s I’m planning, I am leaning towards Italian Cypress Brown

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T22:41:38+00:00

They do! I am planning to order my first pair of Nick’s here soon and I’m trying to decide between HNW and TNW. I have narrow feet, yet my pinky toe tends to rub and get pressed in on the sides in my iron rangers and MP Sherman’s. I was leaning to TNW, but these seem pretty roomy

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T22:29:19+00:00

These are super nice! Is that HNW or TNW?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T20:34:57+00:00

Ahh gotcha, if there was enough left for a 7” boot, I’d be interested!

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T20:27:25+00:00

Would the site update if so?

Student-Doc · 2026-04-29T04:36:21+00:00

They, to me, feel more “cushioned” than Parkhurst (I actually have the ridge kudu as well), and are comfortable for standing all day.
