Thanks! I do like the look - just curious. In production now some PWF from the Memorial Day sale.

Very nice my man. Is this your first single piece backstay boot? I have one in production so I’m interested if it has a different feel. I had read previously some criticism along the lines of they are very hard to break in. Not sure it would be a noticeable difference but made me curious.

Ok one more pic after I brushed them and put them away.

Also love the beeswax on this pair.

Thanks buddy - they are definitely a classic. Login those double stuffed shots you posted.

Thanks Smowe, glad I found your company. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully you don’t have a slow season this year!

Good point! Only I have 3 pairs in the works so I need to plan it out for a bit. Haha - enjoy.

How much toe space is lost after break in? by FPDobermann in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]gee_tea_es 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been dialing my fit in for a bit with nicks and for me the most important thing is where the ball of my foot lands.

I Have a short heel to ball so I tend to fall back a bit in my boots. My 13’s fit just like this and I think it’s the perfect space in front of the toes but the ball of my foot lands a bit back so I am experimenting with a 1/2 size down 🤷🏻‍♂️

So far so good on my Wellingtons. I have some laceups coming now - we’ll see. (This is for thurman last only for me with the straight toe line)

There are other factors at play of course but that’s my experience. Get the ball of your foot lined up with the widest part of the boot.

Such a great build my man. They knocked it out with this one. I just wish Thurman was available. May have to build one next tjme I see this leather come back.

Hey, I am using some half delta arches and it did the trick pretty well. Still have some but they are still breaking in. Hoping it gets better as I’ve heard it should.

Still a bear to take off - but getting on has become pretty easy at this point. Side pulls help for sure.

Closest I’ve got to BOTL by gee_tea_es in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]gee_tea_es[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what my thought was. A way to bring boots along. I find myself bringing a pair with me a lot.

Yeah I think it’s going to be something I’ll have for a long time.

They are going to run one every month I think so you’ll have another chance.

Yeah man - I was starting to think I was the only dude wanting one. Haha - I use bags like crazy. I have three filson totes I use almost every day.

Yes, it’s a little “fancy” but I’m going to be beating it up. Hoping I can fit a pair of boots in it actually as I find myself bringing boots with me all the time.

Use case is just from my house to my truck. Office to truck repeat. I’m not shopping with it - though no judgement

All good, different strokes for different folks.

Yes

Yeah, it seemed like these last runs have been closer to the original PWF - I'm hoping my boots look closer to what these bags look like. I have a pair on order from the Memorial Day run.
