- It's been a year with my Nick's Tactical boots, so I figured I'd give you all an update. All I can say is that these boots are absolutely fantastic. They're extremely comfortable, insanely durable, and worth every penny. My only gripe is with the soles, but the wear on the heels has slowed dramatically. If you're looking for an awesome pair of boots, take a look at Nick's. They aren't cheap.......but they're worth every single penny.

Damn! Besides the wear on the soles those boots look brand new !
Thanks for the follow up, bud! Those boots look amazing for 1 year worth of every day wear. Not sure what type of weather you get, but how hot do your feet get in them? How do you like the leather padded collar? Trying to decide between fabric and leather collar. Also, how water resistant has it been for you?
I have triple wide feet, so it's almost impossible for me to find footwear. Finally accepting the fact that I'll have to go custom.
I get all sorts of weather from -10°F and snow to 100°F and high humidity. My feet definitely sweat in them in hot weather since the leather is so thick, but it hasn't really been an issue. The leather padded collar is great. Very comfortable and shows literally zero wear. The boots are definitely worth the money. Thanks for watching!
Great run down Evan. Thanks
Do these boots add 6db? For 1 year, these boots look almost new.
LOL yes, they add an easy 6db. The boots do look like new..... And I beat the crap out of them, so that tells you how good they are
Hi Evan thank you for the great videos on these boots. How would you rate the waterproofness of these boots and how they handle heavy mud? I'm looking for a pair of boots where I will be slogging around fields all day in all weathrrs and I'm fed up with gore tex boots!! Any help would be appreciated :)
They're quite water resistant, but not completely waterproof for obvious reasons. The leather is very thick, and silicone treated. The upper is double row stitched down, so while not completely watertight, it's pretty darn close. I've never gotten water inside the boots, but I don't walk around in water all day. In muddy wet conditions they're great. I have had zero issues.
@@EvanK2EJT fantastic, thank you so much!
@@kumquat3212 Not a problem
How do you use the boots without any dirt/scuffs?
Oh, trust me, they get BEAT UP! They're on my feet as I type this, and they're a mess. They are just super tough, so they don't look beat up when you clean and oil them.
How heavy are these compared to a regular hiking boot? How heavy are they compared to your other nicks?
They're definitely MUCH heavier than regular hiking boots. These are made of very thick leather. They're lighter than my other Nicks boots due to the sole construction.
My kilties used to slide down, not terribly but a little. Now, for some reason, they just don't. None of them. At all. Not sure if I'm doing something different or if it's because they have deep ridges because they're broken in. I don't do special lacing, I don't do lace loops. They just don't sag anymore.
