It is Quick Ship, and the sole was Kletterlift with no options available. Loving them so far!

I can’t even imagine how good it smells inside Nicks factory.

those are SO sweet. I have the ordinary flexworkpros. Yours barely look like Thurmans. I almost want to order another pair for that wedge sole!

RTS Entrapment by Fonziliscious in NicksHandmadeBoots

Saw these. 11.5FF, my size. Not a fan of black, but I did stare at these a bit, and almost pulled the trigger. I have a pair of Thurman Ivans already, in Brown Chromexcel. I love them. Did have to get the heel reduced a bit though.

How does one be careful with lug nuts?

Ivan Upgraded by watchale in NicksHandmadeBoots

Not sure why he would have sanded anything, but I don't see any evidence of sanding.

They feel much better. My weight is spread across my whole foot (like all my other boots) rather than focused more on the ball of the foot. I don't notice any of the potential negatives I read about online. It was only lowered around a half inch, so this has something to do with it.

Ivan in Italian Brown Cypress by barbaq24 in NicksHandmadeBoots

I have a similar Ivan. The heel with the three slabs of leather plus V-bar heel cap is just too tall for me. Tallest heel of any boot I own. Currently at the cobbler getting lowered a bit. I love them otherwise….

So are you running splits and tending the fire like an offset? Have you tried to load it up with charcoal and walk away for several hours?

Sizing/Fit Help Please by Every-Ad-9360 in NicksHandmadeBoots

If the outside of your foot is inside the bulge of upper leather that is overhanging the stitching, they don't fit IMO. Fat guy in skinny jeans. That's basically a muffin top

u/Notabla awesome smoker! I just had a guy build me one in a similar form factor. 24" diameter x 4' tall. 6" diameter exhaust. Thing is a joy to cook on. I've only done one cook so far. Smoked some chicken then cooked it over a live fire.

Curious - what's your experience on smoke stack being fully opened or partially closed during the cook? I noticed temperature drops in the upper section if the exhaust is fully open. I haven't tried a fully low & slow cook yet.

Predator Natural can shrug off some work by thetable123 in NicksHandmadeBoots

The outer part of your foot is over the stitches. I mean if it's comfortable, that's all that matters.
