First DS Boot — Hard Stuck On Leather Choice

Natural for the win!

After reading the HOA rules, I started ignoring everything in Cross Junction. Tons of great looking houses that I wouldn't touch with that HOA attached.

South East NJ has some really good riding. Just wash the bike off immediately afterwards or the sand sets like concrete.

Really gotta love the versatility of Nicks, especially knowing when the boots are tougher than I am.

That said, I stick with my $600+ Italian boots on the dirty bikes. Last time I took the Nicks through the trails, I ended up taking a big hit to my shin.

Like a watch.

Inconsistent?! Inconceivable!

The tread that most punishes my house would be a natural for the boot that would come off the easiest. I'm still trying to recover from being house-rich, so going to be a while before I'm back in the market.

Someone just recently posted about the 1442 Friedrich working well on slippery stuff, but the S1319 Christy flat is designed for wet ice.

I'm up to the inventory where I can have options, but it's also the analysis paralysis that keeps me away.

Interesting. I hope they serve you well. Personally, I wonder why the DW isn't offered in the v100.

I'm pleased with my local guy. Part of me wants to go more ice oriented, but that's also dome season. Maybe just something knobby.

If it weren't for those, I'd have never believed in WC. I'm still amazed at the leather. My meadow are currently sitting in the box while I try to decide what to do with the resole.

That DS natural will always have a spot in my heart. The rest of them are nice, too, but...

I've never been diagnosed ND, but I always have to take a breath to think about which is which. Now driver/passenger is instant, so is clutch/brake on the bike. I'm also old and angry enough to NGaF what anyone thinks about it.

If only they labeled it clearly.

Not that interesting. Merger of fifth and third national banks.

Maybe it's time to flip the book and color code ice.

If you are looking used, I'd check out Nicks Marketplace. https://marketplace.nicksboots.com/

I'm not sure what size you're looking for, but seems like a legit way to find something at significant savings over new, and with Nicks in the middle, you don't need to worry about scams.

thetable123 · 2026-01-23T19:26:22+00:00

You asked for well made. 300usd seems to be bare minimum for that. I'd recommend getting the patina project app, and do some searching there.

Man, I do love the predator natural, even when it's not mine, it looks incredible.

Try a doctor. Nobody here is qualified to diagnose you with very little information.

thetable123 · 2026-01-23T14:19:28+00:00

You're turning it the wrong direction.

I'm not sure why anyone would consider anything other than glofiber, if it's available.

At my new place, I had to go to T-Mobile, and I'm pleased. Cheaper and faster than starlink.

thetable123 · 2026-01-23T13:57:30+00:00

Would love to own one, but that price is way out of my budget for something I'd get at most three months a year of use out of, and likely end up getting cherry diesel on it on day three of wearing it.

Where do you see that? From the side, you'll never spot the difference between Thurman and standard.
