We offer two primary arch support offerings, and a variety of different toe shapes. The two arch supports we offer are the Classic (67, 55) arch support, and the Moderate (HNW) arch support. Arch support is personal preference, and comes down to how
We offer more leather options than most boot companies out there, coming from three different U.S.A. tanneries each with at least three different leather types. The main categories we offer are Work, Heritage (casual wear), and Veg Tan (dress leather
There is a lot that can go into determining what boot model will be right for you, and we understand this is a big decision. That is why we have made it easier than ever to help you through the decision making process, all you have to do is check out
We have made all of our custom options available on our website under the Custom Configuration models of our boots. Additionally, we are not able to accept orders using materials outside of our website offerings, such as leather, soles, or hardware.
Unfortunately, since we have over 30 leather options, more than 15 sole options, and many configurations available, we do not currently have the ability to send photos for every possible combination to each customer. We hope to have a more robust sys
Our Work Boots receive a stamp, and the Heritage line will have a tag sewn into the inside! We cannot accept customizations to change what the boot you ordered will receive. We are not able to accept custom stamping request such as stamping a name, d
Most of our boots have an all leather construction so they will never be fully waterproof, but they can be treated for water resistance. The only exception will be our boots built using the WaterShield leathers we carry. For non-water resistant leath
We don't offer hand-welting. The current double welted, stitch down, Mckay construction is more water tight, durable, and you can get more resoles before the boots need to be rebuilt. We moved away from hand welting for those reasons, but it is also
Unfortunately in our systems we do not have a way to notate custom thread requests to our production team, so we are not able to accommodate custom thread color requests at this time. The thread used on the uppers and lowers of the boot will match th
As simple as the false tongue change sounds, the false tongue style actually signals several other changes to the boot makers. For example, if Packer false tongue is called for, the sewers will actually use a Packer specific sewing pattern. The hee
We do not offer a zero-drop arch boot at this time. We have three lasts available, the HNW Moderate Arch, the 55 and the 67 Classic Arch. The 67 last will have a taller and wider toe box than the 55 last, but they both have our classic arch support!
A celastic toe gives the toe box a rigid lining to help prevent toe box collapse like a soft toe boot may experience.
We sure do! We are so excited to be able to offer our first ever insulated boots! Insulation is available on the FrostGaurd Pro, and our Custom Configuration work boots. We have developed our insulation with the latest technology, PolarThin aerogel t
Unfortunately, we can not build our boots to accommodate your insoles or custom orthotics, nor can we guarantee your orthotics will work in out boots. We do not build boots to accommodate medical needs. Customers who have decided to use an insole h
All of our leathers are sourced from American tanneries, Seidel, Horween, and Wickett And Craig specifically. “Work Leathers” are characterized by their thicker ounce weight, durability, and oil and water resistance. You can see a great comparison of
Heritage boots, or casual boots, are typically designed for lighter-duty everyday wear. Nicks Heritage Boots are designed to be lighter weight without compromising durability. Work Boots are designed to hold up in the toughest conditions and that's w
You can learn more about the certifications we do offer here, which are ASTM F2413-11 and NFPA. CSA standards are safety standards in Canada for electrical appliances, medical devices, machinery, equipment, etc. We currently do not have boots that ma
We unfortunately do not offer samples of leather at this time. While sending samples may sound like a simple request it is actually fairly complicated for a small business like ours. We offer more than 30 different leathers, in addition to offering l
Our boots are not slip resistant, but we do offer some soles that are oil resistant!. Slip-resistant work boots emphasize having a good tread pattern on the outsole and a non-slipper sole material such as rubber or PVC. Oil-resistant work boots preve
Stitching is what holds boots together before the advent of adhesives. In all our boots, 90% of the bond strength is the glue. Stitching, to be perfectly honest, is more ascetic than it is functional. You will notice that many of our "thicker" boots
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide exact weights for different models or offerings. All of our boots weigh right around 8 pounds, however there are a lot of factors that determine the final wight, including the cut of the leather, the leather
