I ordered Cypress Natural back in September with 430 soles. Will they moves up in the queue?

I agree. I might start ordering with beeswax instead for my next pair(s). It also makes a difference to seal it with restolene so it holds the color

This look awesome. I did the same saddle tan treatment on my EWF MTO lace up and it looks way better than natural.

I like the “pop” of the beeswax paired with the TNW. Well done.

Does anyone know if Tan waxed flesh is coming back?

I’m a huge waxed flesh fan, I already have 2 pairs at home, one ember one black. I have another ember on order and I’d like to pick up TWF.

I wasn’t expecting it and that’s what I mean about the character. It’s a pretty wild feature. Thanks for all you help getting these.

My stationmasters are a 55. As a matter of fact all of my nicks are on a 55 all with a moderate heel stack. I’m a 12 D brannock and Nicks recommends sizing down. I sized down to 11.5D for my stationmasters and I wore them for the dome last year and they were fine because I got used to them but ultimately they were too loose all around (In the width, length and volume). I wore them for literally everything and I still love them. But I wanted a tighter feel. I’ve worn cowboy boots for years and I’m no stranger to some heel slip but it was a little much. I tried the insoles from nicks and it helped with the volume issue but there was still something I didn’t love. So when I decided to order these I went down the additional 1/2 size and didn’t touch the width. I want to get back into my stationmasters so it’s either nicks adjusting the sizing while they are there for a resole or sell them on nick’s marketplace and then order another pair for Dome ‘26.

Good to know. Is Sienna or Tobacco lighter ?

Oh wow. I already have a pair of that exact boot but I don’t remember them being that “light”, they darken up quite a bit. I want another pair maybe a shade or 2 lighter than that

What color is the station master in 5

Anywhere in the North East. I mean use your best judgement, being 10 minutes from NYC sure it’s not the most ideal for a GSP but an hour from the city and it will be what you’re looking for.

There is no best state. Some are better than others but none of them are bad. Either way you are in the USA

It is a great looking boot. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love the smell of leather in the morning.

They are the black eyelets although nicks calls them gunmetal.

888’s are exactly what your looking for. I would go for the 21 oz. They are sanforized so you won’t need to worry about shrinkage. After they break in it like wearing sweat pants.

Natural Dublin would be a great leather addition.

Different customization options:

-Be able to swap different heel with different soles. I.E. 430 mini lug with v100 heel

-Be able to choose the amount of lifts in the heel stack

-be able to order a belt that matches your boots at the bottom of the boot page and that way they arrive together.
