This Boot's been out in the wild for a LOOOONG time! It still has the old Nicks logo and the western sole that it had originally was pretty much completely worn off
While most boots are meant to be thrown away after a few months, Nicks are built to last. When your boots start to need some servicing, you can send them in to have them resoled or completely rebuilt! Nicks Handmade Boots are serviceable and last years longer than a mass-produced boot. Since 1964, Nicks has been making the highest quality boots on the market, right here in Spokane Washington. If you're tired of your old work boots wearing out, upgrade to Nicks and enjoy the most comfortable boots on the market.

Very nice to see a simple resole compared to a rebuild.
Rebuilds should be replacements !
What I find interesting is that the sole still had to be cut off the midsole even though the stitches were worn off of the outsole. Really great craftsmanship.
*That's because they're lock stitches. The stitches go through the midsole and the welt. So even though it looked like he could've peeled the outer sole off, the stitches were still locked in. This is extremely important to remember. Because, I see people posting on the r/Boots subreddit very often with this concern about the stitching that looks like that. They think their outsoles are about to easily fall off. In reality they won't due to the lock stitching I described above.*
I really enjoy watching these type of videos, really helps me to appreciate the toughness and craftsmanship in every boot. I am eyeing the parkhurst last boot you make, will gift myself a boot like this one day.
Those boots were clearly used but also clearly maintained to a high level. Fantastic craftsmanship and ownership.
Could Nicks confirm what the original leather of the uppers of these boots was, and what’s the edge dressing applied at the end?
Good job!
Is fascinating to see your ability to fix this boot's! 🏆 My respects ♥️
Ok Nicks….which model/options is this boot!!? (I’m about ready to order one!!). Standing by! 👍👍
Just get yourself some Wickett & Craig English Bridle Burgundy Americanas.
@@Kyu7 - Can’t find them on Nicks site!
Hey great video. How do you make sure you stitch in all the old holes in stitchdown construction? Are you just putting in a whole new line of stitching? If so after a few resoles is the rim just full of lines of stitching, or on the 2nd resoling how do you stitch into the same holes created by the 1st resoling?
It is obvious that new holes are being punched.
Good job 👍🏾 on the resole 💯
Look at that teacore! These boots were probably black in the beginning!
Wait what did he glue into the inside at the end? Was that a full length sock liner?
I have always wondered what the use of a heel like that is in a work boot. Isnt it more of a hindrance? Someone here sure knows
Master class
🥰🥰👍picture talk different very much agree doing joh thanks 🥰🥰👍
I recently got a pair of your boots and the left boot is perfect no pain at all, but the right boot is very painful on top of my ankle, the eyelid is getting pulled into my ankle can't even passively have them on without pain, and if I bend it is the pain is unbearable
Did you call them. This is youtube, not customer service....
@@KimballPrecision i was more hoping for someone from the comments to respond to me, give me a tip of something, there all right now anyway, i just skipped the eyelid for a few days, and it just doesn't hurt anymore
Same, they just need a massive amount of time to become comfortable
@@Wildeskraut pain is gone , but they hold a lot of water in the heal stack i drilled holds in the bottom of the heal, it helped let the water out, there the best boots i have ever had there not perfect i think the glue they use isn't that good even though it's not needed with all the stitching etc, and there the coldest boots i have ever owned like you're feet are colder with them on
@@markilleen4027 how does the water enter in the first place?
Sooooo much glue, does that man own stock in the company?
What’s the name or type of that glue you guys use?
Did they leave the old threads in?
Looks like they just add a 3rd stitchdown stitch. If you tried to remove them you may cause more issues with water resistance on a stitchdown boot. On a goodyear welt you can remove the old stitches and make it look better without effecting the water resistance.
Question what happen to the nails ?
It won't go through ur foot right ?
We have a metal foot shape anvil INSIDE the boot, when the worker hammers in the nails it hits that and the point bends all the way back onto itself essentially making a hook, holding the leather together. All handmade boots use this or similar methods :)
Why do you Americans like those heels to be such undercut?
It's a logger heel, pretty popular right now. It's just traditional.
If you’re wearing a boot with a high arch, thus a higher heel, you don’t want it to be a chunky block heel. It’s for from and function. More comfortable to walk in if it’s a taller heeled boot
I'm sorry but the heel is ugly, why didn't you make it more like the old one? If you had made a heel like that on my boots, you would have to redo it.
That’s a traditional logger heel. The old one would’ve looked like that before the years of wear.
Could it be...that maybe that's what the customer wanted?!
@@Kyu7 now that's just crazy talk! Get your logic outta here!
"You'd have to redo it" Shut yo bitch ass up. Boi you can't even afford these boots, food stamp using goof.
The old one was the same thing, just missing 1/2” from wear. And also, no one asked you for your expert opinion....lol
