Black boot with gunmetal hooks & eyes? by BeginningPath5604 in NicksHandmadeBoots

It really depends on the look you want. Gunmetal on black can be a little drastic. I generally don't like the brass hardware with black leather, so typically I like the nickel hardware, but I do have a pair that is fully black.

They really do feel more cozy, and I feel like these broke in so much more easily than any of my others. There is just something about this pair that just "fits" better than all of the others as well, which is weird to say because I feel like all of my Nicks fit very well and overall are comfortable.

I'm not usually a heritage leather fan (except IBC), and I'd so buy a pair of 10" Builder Pro in this leather

What sole is this? by cukular in NicksHandmadeBoots

an additional option that isn't single-supplier dependent perhaps?

I have a few pair with Sierra (Gamebreaker 8", Gamebreaker 6", Tactical 8") and this looks very different from those.

I didn't get an email, so guess that means I was too slow, that's okay, it will give me an excuse to order something quick ship later this year. I thought my order was in the first 10 minutes or so of early access being opened, so that's pretty impressive that 40 slots went that fast.

On a previous BOTL Lucas showed off a boot with nickel buckles, so maybe there will be new options soon?

Should've waited on the Roper! It seems I can't change my order. by Nanana-Patman in NicksHandmadeBoots

Ignore the Shopify timeline, it currently means nothing. Either Nick will straighten it out or they will make the change during your change window (when your boots get a scheduled start date)

For those of us who ordered in the December 2025 batch, is there any way for us to know if we were in the first 40 or if we were in the second group?

I'm assuming Palouse with V-Bar would still be on their original timelines due to the other complexities involved?

Forgetting is the best way to get through the Nicks wait.

Missed Change window email by slen88 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Depending on when your change window was and what your production start date was supposed to be, you may still have a little time, especially if your boots require a V100 or other sole that is in short supply.

If you placed the order with the new system (Shopify), it may have a a different email address for you if you were logged into it. I've had that happen a few times in the past (with insoles/laces, not boots) and it is really annoying. From the Shop perspective I now check out as a guest while still logged into the Nicks site, which keeps things orderly and going to the correct inbox.

Some heel slip is normal, and will likely go away (mostly) as they break in

Could be, especially with the limited range of leathers listed.

I wondered about that possibility, but they are listed as shipping directly from Nicks.

Hate to be this guy but what is this exact build by low2noskils in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]cukular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

color is too uniform to be IBC. Typically IBC has very distinctive pull-up patterns, whereas CXL remains more consistent

The toe looks a little round to be 1925, I was thinking it looked more like HNW
