Vegetable tan boots are rare because of how much more expensive veg tan leather is but Nicks Handmade Boots worked with one of the best tanneries in the world, Wickett & Craig, to create a veg tan boot. So they sent me a pair to cut in half and put them to the test.

It’d be cool if we could do another comparison with veg tan and chrome after a year or 2 of wear, let’s see what wearing over time does to the testing results
Definitely a great idea
$1000 Jordans cut in half: "huh"
These Nicks boots cut in half: 😭😭😭
for real though! I think it's the craftsmanship that kills me to cut apart more than the price
Those Jordans weren’t even remotely worth $1,000, these boots look like they are actually worth their price tag.
@@Anti-Taxxer the Jordan's are only worth that much because of the aftermarket demand for them because of the rarity
Those Jordans are like those Gucci products, expensive because of the brand but the quality is just shit
The sound from the initial plunge of the blade into the vamp - just breaks my heart every time. But the sound from the initial plunge of the blade into the vamp of these Nicks - hurts my soul. Beautiful boots. And I love my Nicks Waxed Flesh Urban Loggers. So now the only remaining question before getting these: medium arch or moderate arch. Because they're hard to pass up with the discount code.
Yeah, this was hard to watch because that's a beautiful pair of boots. But, hey, it's for research/science/man stuff. Thanks Wes
It's retarded science.
@@merlyn2121 I'm like a deer in headlights
@@marcavonevans I gotta say though. Nicks blow redwings out if the water.
@@merlyn2121 No doubt! These are great boots from construction to aesthetic.
These boots look tame compared to those other tall Nicks boots that looks as if Satan could wear'em
I think it'd be really cool if you did a history of leather video. What processes were used 100, 1000, and 10000 years ago. How have things changed. How are tanning processes different for different animals and in different parts of the world.
1xxrecar I think people just buy it now b4 they hunt an animal kill it skin it dry it and wear it
Definitely
Might need to construct a textile expert for much of this information?
EDIT: I guess this would be a place to start?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and_restoration_of_leather_objects
Im native american, and one of my family friends is a traditional moccasin crafter, and he tans his own leather. Idk how but i know he does it.
It's mostly urine and feces until the last 200 years or so. Seriously.
Thanks for pointing out that holsters should be made of veg tan leather. Now I know what to specifically ask holster manufacturers before I buy their holsters. I love your channel!!
I'm happy that you showed the full cut before talking about the boots. I think it's the better and more enjoyable way to make the video.
100%
I'm loving these new test formats you're creating ! Your videos are getting higher and higher in quality all the time.Great video !
I'd like to see videos on Role Club vs Nicks. Definitely your break down of a Role Club boot since you've done Nicks already. Thanks for putting out these entertaining and informative videos. Happy trails and nothing but good vibes my dude!
I don't own a pair and probably never will (for lack of funds and necessity), but it sure hurt to watch them be torn apart.
I already have a pair of brown casual boots, but I really want these too. Good boots are expensive but so worth it.
TheGreatChrisB tears were shed
Save your money. I saved up for a year before getting mine. Also they do sales on Labor Day and Father's Day, atleast they did so this year. You can do it!
You never know you might find them at a garage sale or at Goodwill, sometimes you get lucky
@@thomaspatrickparker6648 given that Labor Day was yesterday and the sale is over I can say it was on sale for 10%
I have a pair of these. They are the most comfortable boots I've had. Thanks for cutting them up, I always wondered what was inside.
5 weeks into my Nick's Ranger order, another 4 weeks till my try on pair arrives. Cant wait!!!
Thanks for your cool cut in half video,
The Nicks Robert is a nice boot, I have a pair in natural chromexcel roughout. The arch is way more supportive than the arch on the Falcon, but it's a little extreme at first if you're not used to it.
It really is a remarkable testament to the leather makers that they can take a natural product with all of the different variables and come up with such consistency after processing.
He really struggles to cut these boots compared to the other cheaper ones… speaks volumes to Nicks quality!
Your experiments are really stepping up! This is awesome! Great stuff man
I would really appreciate a video on different 'cuts' of leather (Belly, Bend, Butt, Shoulder) and what qualities you should look for in different applications. I think it would also be great to get these comparisons in different price ranges within leather supply - the side of things that a customer would never really get to see or understand. Thank you!
I just pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of these exact boots. I am excited for them to arrive and its only been a few minutes!
I'm a simple man; I see a Rose Anvil video, I watch and enjoy it. Keep doing the good work Wes.
You’re the type of person I need in my life
@@RoseAnvil Just gotta live life asking yourself: What would Keanu do?
I love my nick’s boots. My husband and I have matching pairs. My grandfather was a bootmaker in the Czar’s Army and had a shoe repair shop when they came to the U. S. I BLAME HIM FOR MY LOVE OF QUALITY LEATHER GOODS!
I just love your unbiased reviews with almost scientific approach. Its really fun to watch how your channel and videos improve steadily and you are more and more precise with our tests. Respect!
Thanks I appreciate it!
But he clearly misinterpreted the data shown on his tests. I think it’s an honest mistake since he showed the numbers and we can see the gauge for ourselves, but this video is clearly biased in favour of vegetable tanning.
This video is from years ago but this pair of boots are one of the best looking pair I have seen on the channel.
Great review and testing. Love those boots
Great video & good luck with the move to SLC!
Love your channel! Keep up the awesome work!
These look gorgeous!!
Awesome video! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
I'm getting ready to order a pair of Travelers in Burgundy!! 20 weeks is gonna be painful! Haha. I have a piar of the Bison's that Carl M. Collaborated on with Nick's and they don't quite match each other but are so well built and so comfortable that I have to have another pair!! Good job Brother!
Thank you, Sir. Very useful info about leather etc. Cheers!
Great video! Makes me wish I could get the boots that I ordered in late May from your Builder Pro video . Still waiting for those try on boots.
Same. Starting to get slightly irritating.
This was like watching Old Yeller being put down. It hurt my soul, but I knew it had to be done.
The quality of the hide matters much more than the tanning process, the "best" tanning really depends on what kind of leather you are starting with and what you intend to do with it. So in many cases the best and most expensive leathers are chrome tanned. Full grain calfskin for example - which is what most of the highest end dress shoes are made of - is always chrome tanned (at least in the context of shoemaking).
Dang, Nick's just emailed me about these today, and here you are... Good job sir!
It’s almost like we strategize it ha ha
Keep up the good work man! :)
God, that boot is a work of art!
Painfully satisfying!
Wow Weston ! Great video yet again! i like your sheer strength tester.
Thanks joe!
Might be interesting to test dropping something like a punch or screwdriver onto a pair of work boots...some kind of real world scenario...and see what kind of damage is done, and if the damage can be buffed out
Your testing setup is super impressive. I think you can call those results reasonably conclusive
I’m so excited and scared for these boots. Can’t wait for my Roberts to arrive. Great video once again.
Did you order a pair!?
Rose Anvil I did after your first nicks video.
i have both veg tanned and chrome tanned boots so this was very informative
Good luck in your new location!!!
3 weeks out of foot surgery and have a brand new pair of Ariat Buffalo shoes in black from your recommendation that I haven’t had a chance to wear yet. I see them, geek out over them, then put them back on my shoe rack patiently waiting for the moment to put them both on. Thanks for your your videos.
I was just wearing mine today and was thinking about how much I love them
oh the pain, watching them being cut. best boots ever.
Great video. Gorgeous pair of boots. Would you look at doing a cut in half review of the Thursday Boot Company’s Captain or Vanguard boots?
They look like an amazing boot
I've been waiting for my boots since your first video and you just cut up a perfectly good pair... My heart hurts a little right now... I wish you had done a scuff comparison. I love the look of the veg tanned but went with cxl because I believe it handles scuffing better. Great video! Thank you for doing this!
That’s a really good idea!
Veg tan is 1.5x stronger when wet, 1.2x stronger when dry. It isn't even a contest - veg tan can conform to your feet. It is 'live'. Chrome tan is like faux leather.
Have you thought of doing this with cowboy/ work boots? I would love to see all the technology in modern pull-on boots!
I too would love to see pull-ons:
Engineer, harness, cowboy, etc
I picked up a pair of the Falcons about a month ago. Didn't have the discount code... They are wearing in nicely and I wear them for everything they don't look like any hipster boots I've seen.
I love your videos you should do a saddleback leather wallet review
Love how scientific you are getting.
Thanks! Emphasis on “getting” ha ha
Im here super early! Hahaha love the video
Man that's a very good looking pair of boots
awesome as usual
Congrats on the 1mil viewed video! 🤗
Wish i had this 10% off code a month ago when i ordered a pair of these bad boys 😀 thanks for the video
me too...
I menan it's kind of strange cause usually the discount brands give YTers is no different than the discount you can get from just going to their site (especially places like Ray-con) so if he is getting exclusive deals from brands that's probably a good sign.
The chrome vs veg was super interesting.
Those are well designed tests, don’t sell yourself short! About the only thing that could improve these results is to do more samples just to check the consistency. Then you could geek out on the statistical analysis!
This man waited 6-7 months for his purchase just to cut it in half. Gotta admire the commitment.
Another very cool cut in half video and informative too.
Just wondering about the AJ1 Diors if the its price tag suits the materials its made of and if there's a chance we could see a tear down of it here.😎💪👍🙌🤟🤘✌
Instead of using the jerking hydralic pump you might get smoother and more precise results using a manual chain hoist in both tests.
Brilliant
Should do a halls safety boot like the 367W's interested in the quality and the special shank since it's a lineman specific boot
Can you do a video on the timberland earthkeepers. I've really enjoyed my pair and id like to see how good they will be in the long run.
Great video! I'm a big boot enthusiast and have been mulling getting a pair of nicks casuals for quite a while. This discount may very well give me that final push to pull the trigger...
Go for it. Make sure you go to a local authorized fitter to get them fit. (Unless you live in Washington and you can go to Nick's brick & mortar) if there isn't an authorized fitter near you, make sure you have someone else fit them for you (like your friend, wife, or girlfriend). Don't try to do it yourself because it'll throw the measurements off when you are bending over.
@@xenonram There remote fitting process also works well!
Do it! Then we can chat about them when all get them!
Feels weird being here so early.
Thank you for telling us that vital information sir. We are all here for *you* . You are valid. Your feelings matter so much.
Hey Weston! I was wondering if you can do an experiment on different types of insoles. I want to see how much a different between leather and foam insoles are at shock absorbtion.
In theory at least leather should form to your foot over time and provide butter support but foam will generally provide more padding but I at least would definitely be interested in seeing if it is possible to objectively test the two to see exactly how big of a difference there is between them.
Yes, I'm interested as well.
I feel like I always hear 2 conflicting things.
Leather is best cuz it firms to your foot perfect.
But I slso hear shock absorbtion is important and a leather sole wouldn't seem to have that.
I've decided to buy a pair of Nick's boots now I'm just watching through all your reviews and other people's to decide which one to buy lmao
Good information for those of us who wonder.
Can you try reviewing Canada west/ wm moorby boots? I want to see what they’re made of and am curious how they compete to some American brands
i just saw that Rose Anvil has 888k subscribers. being a boot nerd i absolutely love these videos, but i was totally unaware there were so many brothers out there. i look around and other than a few random pairs of Red Wing i rarely see heritage boots on peoples feet. yet here were are with close to a million other nerds watching videos of boots getting destroyed.,
On another note, my leather laces that came on my Nicks boots snapped after a couple months of use. Wasn't a big deal because I had spare laces but was quite a bummer.
these videos have really sold me on Nicks boots. Will buy a pair to replace my iron rangers when they wear out.
Do it so we can chat about them and nerd out over them
Way better than Iron Rangers, why wait
I would like to see you break down Grant Stone Diesel Boots.
Can you do Thursday boots next. Iv been considering buying it and see it everywhere.
Congrats on 200k! Wow. PLEASE can you do Frye Westin Chukkas? Frye is all over the map in terms of quality, but I have 3 pairs and really like them but am extremely curious how they’re really made, under the hood. I considered dissecting one myself but I don’t want to lose a finger or worse :-) thanks!
Weston
Could you please make a review on the STEEL brand boots. They make pretty cheap steel toe working boots and many people wear them instead of docs due to the price.
Wow, the price has increased significantly in the last 2 years. 495 after the code compared to 680 today with this leather.
Ok, I prefer the sneaker videos, but this is cool too
Edit: I still find sneakers more interesting in general, but this is the nicest boot I've ever seen. One of the only things that you put on your feet that you can justify paying 500 dollars
I 100% agree
It would be great if you'll do video with OakStreet's boots or Helm's boots.
That's a nice boot....too nice to cut. I wanted to cry seeing them being destroyed.
please, I wanna see a deconstructed Veja trainers. Have it soon thanks.
i'd love to see a moc toe red wing dissection :)
Those falcons are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I believe these are actually The Robert boot on the 55 last. Beautiful boots indeed!
Can always wax/oil veg tan to increase the water resistance if you need to.
To me the results make sense. Veg tan is stiffer so should be harder to puncture but less flexible so would rip or crack easier when bending.
Similar to steel hardened (clenched) vs not clenched. One would probably be better for flexibility but ding or dent easier. Vs hardened would snap when trying to bend it.
On of the comments below is interesting on once broken in what would the numbers be?
Please consider reviewing the Taninos by Buttero. They're vegetable tanned sneakers.
Rose Anvil, can you do the water test on leather rough out vs smooth? I've always wondered if there's any difference in water repellent.
I'd like to see an Alden Indy boot review.
Would love to see a comparison between nicks franks and jk boots. Specifically wedge sole boots.
I kind of cried a little when he started cutting that beautiful boot.
Need a test of real McCoy’s Shinki horse hide!
I just received my Roberts this week the lead time they give when doing the fit sheet is 8- 10 weeks while mine took 14 weeks. This would have been fine if they had just given me an update but I always had to reach out to them which was a little off putting. That being said when I did reach out they responded right away like w/ in 30 min of my email. So far they seem like great boots I got them for light duty work casual camping, woodworking ect. and I think they'll be great for that.
Nice video 👍🙀
Hello, Wes. Excelent content. A mic would really improve your vids. Keep the good work going. 👍🏻
One day!
would love to see you cut some adidas 4D running shoes in half! you know... the ones with the 3D printed soles. what are they hiding in there?? love the vids!
So moving to Salt Lake . If Toaster slips out again he will think he's got a long trip ahead to make it "home" to the old shop. I know you will watch out for him. Hope the move goes smoothly. Look forward to your videos from the new spot. BTW good video , would like to own a pair but I'm non-essential so this is not the right time to invest in quality footwear. Oh well.
Your channel was mentioned by Courtney Ryan on her channel.
Thanks for mentioning it, really liked her channel!
Isnt that Teddy's girlfriend?
Brandon Key yes she is
who's that?
Sooo a tiny channel mentioned him. Wow.........
Bro I love your content and all the boots you show in your videos, but it’s hard to watch get a perfect super nice pair of boots get destroyed. Happy new year
these boots are INTENSE
Can you do a video on some Alexander mcQueen oversize sneakers
Each and evrytime I watch the blade touch the leather of the boot or shoe, I find myself biting my fingers! Poor boots! And yet I can't stop watching Rose Anvil videos!
Golden goose shoes would be a great video
