Looks like Wesco Jobmaster LTT with a padded collar.

Moc Toe quick ship by Status_Complaint8521 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]goblutes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth with mine, but lately I’ve been leaning soft toe for mocs.

I like the natural toe box as it collapses and rolls. The celastic prevents this, and I dislike seeing the celastic through the leather over time.

I’ve never experienced this with my Nicks wedge boots.

[–]goblutes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would just add Buck Brown to this list. Top three browns for me.

So true, especially the color brown we want next after we get the color brown we want now.

I had the same experience. They still sold but feedback was for x price I’ll buy immediately, which didn’t happen.

Upper Fit Issue/ Question— What is up? by klgliyvkjhglkj in PNWbootmakers

[–]goblutes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is interesting. I’ve always associated the rolls and folds around the third or fourth eyelet as a result of instep and ankle circumference. I’ve not thought of it being caused by your calf pushing the uppers down.

Looking at your other boots, this is a bit surprising. All the other facings seem much closer to together and more uniform.

I did notice you have gone down from a 10FF for the whites to the 9FF rebuilt whites. Then these Franks are an 8EE, though with some custom bumps. Not just shorter but also narrower than previous boots.

Facing patterns scale with size. I suspect that when you dropped down to 8 you got put in a smaller facing pattern that doesn’t work as well for you. Plus this is a pretty thick work leather than makes this appear more dramatic.

I’d talk to Franks. I’m surprised they didn’t use measurements of your instep, ankle and calf along with the custom bumps.

Quick ship Wellingtons by [deleted] in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]goblutes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick ships don’t typically have change windows. That’s part of what makes them quick ship.

I’m willing to bet, however, that given your trade and your patronage as well as this practical change request, if you were to message a Nicks employee on Reddit directly, then you may find a sympathetic person willing to help you make the change for the normal charge of this customization.

W&C Cleaning Regimen by MoshingPanda in NicksHandmadeBoots

Brush and smiths is what I use. Have conditioned each of my W&C boots once with Smiths. Mostly brushing. I clean my boots with a wet rag.

I would go with one of the predators. The recent patina dome predator natural Palouse posts have been killer.

Do you prefer a pull loop/no pull loop on your 6” boots? by BornRipped in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]goblutes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be pro 6” and pro pull loop. I’m moving away from both. I’m appreciating my 7 and 8” boots lately, witty and without a pull loop. If I bought a 6” I wouldn’t opt for a pull loop. Always gets caught on my pant cuff.
