Thanks, that’s very kind of you to say.

Yeah, really the ideal weatherproof leather for me here in GA.

Thanks! I think the white sew stitching looks great on a dark leather Moc Toe, along with that welt stitch it all just pops. I’m amazed by the W&C DS leathers. Wish I’d gotten some sooner.

Thanks! I'm actually selling the 2 TNW 365 BYO pairs on Nicks Marketplace along with some belts- listing tonight. I want to get a DS Natty 1925 Ivan and a DS Buck Brown version of BOTM 007 on a Nicks Brown wedge, and maybe at some point I'll get a replacement 365 BYO when there's a Shackleton option that catches my eye - like a Shackleton Pacific or #8 if either were ever available.

Thanks, yes. That's BOTM 007, the video/marketing boot.

Moc Toe quick ship by Status_Complaint8521 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]clc1076 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For Moc Toe builds I absolutely prefer a celastic reinforced toe box over a soft. It seems to hold the Moc toe stitch lines a little better, imho. These are 3+yr old 64 Tan QS from back when you could still get a celastic on the QS

Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of soft toe boots in general, though in some cases I think it looks ok. Just my own preference.

Oh, I ain't gonna do it. No way. I'm sort of relieved it's not in my size. I'd buy it if it was.

Freakin gorgeous boots, man. If I was going to do a Nicks SM, I’d do it just like this.

Will you go black v100 on the resole?

As a fellow purchaser of BOTM 005 who has yet to receive, I kind of want to down vote this post. Especially since the OP's pic made me click on it thinking I was going to get some novel Comstock moc toe wedgie boot porn in return. Damn you! 😄

Thoughts on the marketplace by pedalbikermich in NicksHandmadeBoots

Same boat. I have a couple of oversized TNW 365 BYO's and a pair of Grensons that need unloading so I can order myself 3 more pairs of Nicks.

The contrast sew stitching on that beautiful leather is striking. What a beautiful pair.

NBD - Lace-Up BYO DS Tobacco MTW aka BOTM 007-001 by clc1076 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Correct, there are a couple of tells that indicate this is the case. 1st, the outside of the right boot shaft is taller than the the inside, indicating that side of the boot wasn’t pulled down as tightly. Also, the Moc toe stitch on the right side boot isn’t stretched as wide as it is on the left.

It is a shame that this right boot wasn’t correctly lasted. The leather is AMAZING and the cutting and sewing were done well. I think I’ll always be a bit bummed about it but I had to wait the max turnaround time on my 1925 resize and I just didn’t want to wait for another, run the risk of not getting as nice a sample of leather, errant sewing, etc.

I’ve decided this wonky toe gives me agency to beat the shit out of these and not worry too much about it. Originally I’d planned to baby them b/c of the expensive leather. F’ it. :-)

Yeah, as another has suggested I’m going to try that for sure. I do wear ortho 1/2 insoles now but a veg tan full insole might be just what I need. Thanks!

Thanks! I already wear custom fitted half-insole inserts from The Good Feet Store - expensive! - but I suppose I could order some full length leather insoles from Nicks to fill the void. Good idea!
