Hate to say it, but I think the ND1 is still far and away the best design. The shape and size of the new linesman patch is a little too much to my eves. For the ND4 , bring back the original " design ", but maybe update with the new structural changes to make the boot lighter and more comfortable.
Yes. That original patch was more with the flow of the boot, the ones since are more perpendicular to the flow of the boot and it is definitely less pleasing to the eye. I am looking at the ND3 right now and would love to pull the trigger, but its not exactly what I would want and it is 100% the linesman patch. I love the waxed leather
The original has my vote for best looks too... But, I've gotta say, I'm a real fan of the new 365 + leather build. I'm a Florida man and the new sole construction makes the most sense for my part of the globe.
Bring back the ND1 for your new subscribers and those of is that missed out. I second the notion of Nicks offering the ND1 as part of their regular lineup.
Damn, was so excited to see these. Unfortunately, and I fully realize that this is just one man's position, they went the wrong direction from the ND1. From construction to aesthetics, the choices are almost exactly opposite to the choices I would have made. I'm sure they'll still be wildly successful and sell out, but these feel like an attempt to make jump boots for hipsters, not an "ND" boot.
I'm with you. Totally wrong direction from what I feel was the whole reason Nicks got famous in the first place. Hopefully not the start of a new trend into cheaper materials sourced from cheaper places. Also, 360 stitch down to what? The insole?
You’re never going to beat the ND1. It should just be an ongoing offer from Nick’s. Also, guys…Nick’s customer service and quality control have become pretty terrible as they’ve grown more popular. Definitely shop around first before spending so much money. I own two pairs and won’t be buying from them again.
I love my ND2s but I did have to send them back initially because they messed up a lineman patch so bad it was pulling off out of the box. I'm probably doing something else for my next pair.
How is their service going down? They consistently go out of their way to correct customer disatisfaction along with jk boots. I feel like you guys expect unrealistic perfection. No industry nails a product 100% of the time.
I disagree the ND1 should be a regular offering, but agree that Nicks is getting shitty on the finishing and customer service. I own 4 pairs. My last pair, the two boots fit totally different, despite being the same size and last I typically wear. Also, the pair before that, they just flat out sent me the wrong leather hoping I wouldn't notice. They need to stop doing so many podcasts and focus their attention on quality control and reducing their ridiculous lead times.
@@0f556 Amen. The stitching on my Renegades looks like a drunk guy did it, every sock liner has completely delaminated, the heel stack has become delaminated on one of my Renegades, and my Overlanders had a nail sticking up out of the sole that gave me temporary nerve damage in my big toe. When I called Nick's to discuss the issue, the guy told me to "Just hammer it back down." How I was supposed to reach the inside toe portion of my boot with a hammer is beyond me, so finally I called again and this time a woman told me to ship them back (they were quickly fixed). Still, though, it's just getting ridiculous, and I do believe their obsession with having a social media presence and going viral is whats affecting the final product. Of course we won't see any of these issues on a channel like Rose Anvil, because you'd best believe that Nick's puts their best people on any and all boots that'll be featured on UA-cam.
@@jlg395 Sucks to hear about that nail. I agree about their obsession with having a social media presence. It doesn't help that Nicks is pretty much the PNW darling of all boot influencers, including Rose Anvil, and gets a pass on most issues because of it. If you listen to some of Nicks employees on their podcast, it's pretty clear that they don't really care all that much about finishing since "they're boots" and they're supposed to be worn. I wish they took more pride in the finishing, regardless of whether or not the boots are going to blue collar workers or social media influencers.
Really not into this design. The fully black sole and midsole surprisingly contrast with the brown leathers and it isn’t pleasing. The counter is too sharp compared to the smooth flowing lines of the lace to toe. Also the logger upper doesn’t match with the tactical sole at all. The ND1 should be the only one.
They don't want to build it again because it's too difficult to make. All they did on this one is take their "tactical" boot, add the side patch and get another big sale push for something that they are basically already making. I don't blame them.. but they are trying to go the easier road on this one, rather than making something exceptional. But I agree: out of all of these, the ND1 is very obviously the best looking.. maybe only second to the double patch that they never made.
Hmnnn. Nope. Not to my taste. Now the NDC is, to my eye almost perfect, but the lineman patch on a lace to toe on the ND3 looks just...wrong. Along with the Sierra sole the whole thing has got some very odd lines. I mean I get the design aspects you've chosen and I'm sure it's a great boot, in fact it'll be interesting to see it with a lot of wear on it, but no, not for me.
True statement. The ND1 overall design still leads the line. I literally winced at the mention of foam. I don't want foam anywhere near my pnw boots. Also not a fan of the hard angles. Still though, I appreciate the uniqueness of the design, even if it's not my kinda build. No doubt it'll sell out though.
Gorgeous boot, and I love hearing about your design theory. Have you already made a video about the different lasts out there? Would love an extended history lesson about boot and shoe lasts...
Still love my ND1s the best! Just not a big fan of the lace to toe boots!! The Munson last is not appealing to me either and it’s why I got rid of most of my red wings! Anyway, good luck brother! I’m sure they will sell out!! Keep up the great work!! Love the content
Nice boot, like the two tone look with the lineman patch. Do you think you'll ever do a reproduction of those Japanese ww2 boots? I remember hearing the idea tossed around.
An idea for your videos: " What do shoe pads do to leather insoles, and how different the need is for flat-footed people in shoes." My all time biggest problem with shoes and boots is that I am flat footed. The heels really help with my bone angle but the real problem is the width and the insole. Flat footed people need insoles that support the arch of the bottom of our feet. I use a pair of shoe pads especially made for flat-footed people in all my shoes and boots, but not my leather dress shoes because their leather insole is not removeable. I would really like to try out the ND3 but this is such a big concern to me that I can't risk it until it is properly addressed. Love the design, can't wait for what you will do with the ND4.
These are wonderfully striking with the lineman patch. I also really appreciate the use of a Munson-like last as a wider boot means I would be less likely to size up. I like the philosophy behind it because I always felt footwear in general either goes full new tech or full traditional with very little in-between. Super awesome boots!
Sorry to say, but don't dig the latest design - the combination of straight and rounded lines kills my eyes; don't like the adding of synthetic materials, the shape of the lineman patch, the outsole model. Frankly, I think ND1 are the best in the series. But not a hate comment tho - love your channels, and the stuff you do is great!
You managed to make the boot I would have made for my job. I want the old school cool with the function of a tac boot. You made the perfect boot for me and I plan on rocking a pair shortly.
He doesn't back down from his design philosophy's where form follows through with function. He really made a streamlined well designed boot that looks very unique. Unfortunately I dont have 600 dollars in my pocket :(((
exactly the opposite of what i would've changed from the ND1. Foam is imo a horrendously big mistake. Way too much rubber, not enough leather under your feet. Lastly, im just not a fan of 360 SD. Doesnt look sleek at all. This is a bust imo.
From reading the comments, looks like there are a lot of people who would still buy the ND1's and ND2's if they were still available (including me). Please consider making them again, I would buy one pair of each.
The ND series has definitely grown uglier with each new generation. I think you captured lightning in a bottle on the first try, and shouldn’t have messed with the design afterward. Also, foam? Come on.
mmmm dont likem the nd3 itl probebly be sold alot because of the fans but the other ones just are so much cooler i feel like the npw boots are just alot better looking and wanted ompared to just what looks like a comando boot
You guys totally read my mind on so much of this. I was just thinking a couple days ago that the 360 stichdown with rubber midsole would be great for me on some of my wilderness adventures when I'm stopping through mud and water but still keeping the look and leather of the traditional uppers. The leather insole is such a nice touch. Clearly the brainchild of someone who knows boots. Love the development guys and much respect for continuously pushing the limits in boots. Great work! Fun stuff!
Loved the colab boots. They are so beautiful! I recently bought a pair of colab boots from Division Road and Whites in olive waxed flesh that has a lineman’s patch. Your colab has made me love my boots even more and made me think they’re not so extreme for a 70-year-old guy, who isn’t going to be climbing and frigging poles, to wear. Thx, Weston.
I agree with the comments saying that the ND1 is the best looking, the colour contrast in the midsole is beautiful and the lineman patch is more aesthetic imo
Awesome new boot, I gotta say the lineman patch on the ND1 is my favorite but I really like the new lace to toe feature, I’d love to see them together on a future pair
I think it would be cool if you did a custom colab with Jim Green. Their custom shop is putting it some cool stuff. An overbuilt baobab boot, or AR8 would be awesome.
Based on my experience of nick's, Thursday and redwing, I think you made at least three spectacular choices. 1. Leather insole. Alternatives are sweaty and uncomfortable to me. 2. No lining in the vamp. Unnecessary if you're not building a winter boot, and you're not. 2.5 rubber midsole should give you the chock absorption of a non-heritage boot while maintaining breathability. 3. Feet are not pointy. Munson-shape FTW!!! P.S: NICK'S quality per cost is amazing.
I wish there was a "master sizing list" to cross reference sizes of different brands. For instance, "If you wear a 10 E in JK Boots, a XX.X E Nicks would fit best based on 69 customers reviews." If one exists, reply with the link! They do look sweet, but I'm living in bidens economy and will prob wait until next year when you re-release the ND1 for us newer subscribers. Hint, hint. The comments are screaming for the ND1's! Keep up the great content!
Love that Vibram Sierra outsole; great sole for when there's coffee beans all over the floor. lol 5 years ago I got a boot from Viberg's budget work boot brand when they were super-duper on sale, and they have that same sole. I've been wearing it everyday for work, and have yet to resole it; though, I'll likely have to retire it before it gets resoled. The boots have been worn so hard that I say they have gone through a "nubuck conversion". lol
Just picked up a pair of Franks Boot company "commanders". Frank was in charge of manufacturing at Nicks before they were bought out. They are actually in the old Nicks boots shop space, great group of people. Their boots are at the very least on par with Nicks and maybe just a bit better due to Nicks seemingly going for a bit more of a quantity over quality approach when they changed hands. Certainly worth checking out if you are in the market for a good PNW style boot.
Good to map this out. I’m about to order my first pair of nicks and I think I measured my foot 10+ times. And I’m going to order a set of quick ship falcons lol. Sweet lord clean that’s NDC😂😂😂. Really cool evolution of the design. You might be the first person to show brown waxed flesh side:side. No one has shown the patina like that. Really awesome.
Very cool design. Not quite what I'm looking for, but glad to see lace-to-toe getting some love. I believe this is the only way currently to get a lace-to-toe from Nick's on the Thurman last. If it was black roughout lace-to-toe on the Thurman last with a black wedge sole, I'd be first in line, but I can't even configure that on Nick's website, so I must wait.
Ummm no offense but I am poor.... So what is the best boot that is comfortable, indestructible, last for ever, and cheap.... Like under $100.00 That someone could actually afford.
I love my ND1's tbh, I wear them riding my motorcycle, on job sites, and sometimes if I just wanna feel taller (I usually wear barefoot 2mm sandals so it's a big difference). I don't consider it "unwearable" but maybe that's in part due to wearing them so much (and replacing steel toe/plate boots that were for OSHA, but not actually required for my work). Would love a more casual/dressier boot maybe with bison or something in the future. Id say peccary is an option but that would be v expensive too so idk. I rarely wear sneakers casually (just running shoes and sandals usually) so the MUGGS looked cool, but wouldn't get a lot of wear.
LOVE LACE TO TOE BOOTS! That was the best decision made here... Only thing I'm not a fan of is the outsole... PNW boots are basically known for the vibram lug outsole with the leather mid sole and heel stack. Should've gone with the vibram lug and heel stack
4 /6 fit well enough, but not well enough that I want to wear them everyday. Uh......no man. Y'all are fecking insane. You spent ~$4k to get 2 pairs of boots you would want to wear daily. Or buy 20, $200 boots.
Everything looks good besides the design.. don't really like this brown patch, and personally, I prefer 6 inch boots. besides that, I would have probably bought these. I will wait for ND4 even though the whole collection doesn't have 6-inch boots I hope the next one will have.
Honestly I’m not a huge fan of the design. I like the patch design but I’d rather see the double patch like the nd2’s. Also not a huge fan of the outsole. I liked the leather stacked heel with a v100. The nd1 is my favorite and the nd2 is amazing too. Nothing against you or your ideas but the nd3 looks atrocious to me. Unfortunately I found the channel after the first two nd drops
I realized right now that I can't find good brand that makes shoes in Eu, most work boots are from china poor quality, cheap. Leather shoes made in nation or Eu are mostly dress shoes and still kinda good but not as good the amercian ones :| and I am too poor to buy quality cuz shit is expensive + custom fee's are killer
I feel like the ND3 would be perfect with no lineman patch. I love the design of the patch I just don't see the use with the double vamp, it seems like unnecessary bulk for design sake.
Hey amigo I usually enjoy your videos. This one seemed a bit to corporate. I appreciate your work. But in reality your working in the mountain west, so maybe take some time to design a nice usuable saddle. This western craft won't make you millions, but it will give you some pride and sense of community. Have a nice evening.
The profile looks so similar to the boots I wore in the military, but dang are they nicer.. you can wear anything all day and night, but how I always wished I could've slapped a nice pair of boots on my feet instead of the approved and issued footwear that fell apart so quickly
I might be the only one, but the heel counter and vamp cover not lining up on 3 of 4 areas really bothers me. It looks best when they meet top corner to top corner, like on the inside of the right boot and it would go more with Weston's theme of hard lines meeting swoopy ones. At ua-cam.com/video/IyNSub0CWgY/v-deo.html you can really see the difference in QC in these boots. Maybe it's just the 1st pair that was done quickly to make the video???
Very nice! I like the older line/pattern better with the (short) toe cap. Alos like the brownbase with black patch a bit better. Your enthusiasm makes the whole thing so much Fun. Thx
Just run these back. Sale was over before I even noticed it started. Raise the price if you have to for goodness sake. Whats with businesses not wanting business these days? 😮💨

100%
Also, what last are these on?
Thurman 55 or Thurman HNW?
Yes. That original patch was more with the flow of the boot, the ones since are more perpendicular to the flow of the boot and it is definitely less pleasing to the eye. I am looking at the ND3 right now and would love to pull the trigger, but its not exactly what I would want and it is 100% the linesman patch. I love the waxed leather
Funny, I prefer the sole construction of the 1 & 2, leather sole over foam and rubber every time (outsole excluded)
I'd buy the ND1 if there was another round . . . looks fantastic.
Agreed
Differently they look great
The original has my vote for best looks too...
But, I've gotta say, I'm a real fan of the new 365 + leather build. I'm a Florida man and the new sole construction makes the most sense for my part of the globe.
Do you know where the rubber and foam are sourced from? I love that color as well
@@Eli5047They’re both sourced from China.
Any plans to do something with Drew's boots?

Def feels like a hipsters take on jump boots 😂

ND1 looks best
ND1 really do be the best though. From functional and elegant to silly. Like there's too much going on. Wish i could get some ND1s.
Was a lifechanger when I learned how to lace speedhooks with 1 hand. So much faster than crisscrossing each time with 2 hands
I did not know such a technique existed. Now I have a new skill I need to level up. My Victorian reproduction knee high boots are a lot to lace.
make a video/short lace tutorial
Wranglerstar has one
Wish I was around for the ND1
Damn I want the ND1.
The ND1 all day! Maybe a version without the lineman patch?
I love the sleeker and more modern look the ND3's have. An apocalyptic boot sounds pretty cool.
Nice boot, like the two tone look with the lineman patch. Do you think you'll ever do a reproduction of those Japanese ww2 boots? I remember hearing the idea tossed around.
OK OK THE ND1 was perfect ... BRING BACK THE ND1... How do i buy an ND1?

Good thing they don’t look as good as the first NDs cause I would be in very tied up financial situation 😂

im not sure exactly why but something about it doesnt sit right with me
The way the vamp sweeping line meets perfectly with the heel cover on one side, but not on the other really throws things off to me.
Everything from the midsole down looks budget. This looks like you thew a lineman patch on a standard LTT with rubber midsoles.
I bought boots to impress women to show coitus. They still refused. I believe it's because I'm 456lbs and must lose weight
I don't care for this particular "lineman's patch", but it's other wise a nice boot. GL!

I concur , people always scuff the toe part after shifting gear. I hope Rose Anvil can come up with solution of that in his design.

Wwwooooowww it is munson/thruman! It looks incredible with the anatomical last. Totally didnt saw that comming
Can't believe he brought those boots hiking. They should be in a museum. Right after he cuts them in half.
I agree with the comments saying that the ND1 is the best looking, the colour contrast in the midsole is beautiful and the lineman patch is more aesthetic imo
Having said that, the ND3 heel is better since it's lower and looks more comfortable
Mama thought me “ If you have nothing nice to say just don’t say anything” PLEASE ! give ND1 another run to get my hand on a pair. ❤❤❤ ND1 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's just a fraud. You say it's ND3 but it's actually the REAL Nick's Combat Boots.🎉
Pretty much. They just dont offer the lineman patch on their tactical boot. Nor does it come in brown waxed flesh leather.
Awesome new boot, I gotta say the lineman patch on the ND1 is my favorite but I really like the new lace to toe feature, I’d love to see them together on a future pair
I've thought of ordering a Nick's boot with a cap toe, lineman's patch, and Munson last for motorcycle riding.....so basically the ND1 lol.

2.5 rubber midsole should give you the chock absorption of a non-heritage boot while maintaining breathability.
3. Feet are not pointy. Munson-shape FTW!!!
P.S: NICK'S quality per cost is amazing.
I wish there was a "master sizing list" to cross reference sizes of different brands. For instance, "If you wear a 10 E in JK Boots, a XX.X E Nicks would fit best based on 69 customers reviews." If one exists, reply with the link! They do look sweet, but I'm living in bidens economy and will prob wait until next year when you re-release the ND1 for us newer subscribers. Hint, hint. The comments are screaming for the ND1's! Keep up the great content!
Love that Vibram Sierra outsole; great sole for when there's coffee beans all over the floor. lol 5 years ago I got a boot from Viberg's budget work boot brand when they were super-duper on sale, and they have that same sole. I've been wearing it everyday for work, and have yet to resole it; though, I'll likely have to retire it before it gets resoled. The boots have been worn so hard that I say they have gone through a "nubuck conversion". lol
Just picked up a pair of Franks Boot company "commanders". Frank was in charge of manufacturing at Nicks before they were bought out. They are actually in the old Nicks boots shop space, great group of people. Their boots are at the very least on par with Nicks and maybe just a bit better due to Nicks seemingly going for a bit more of a quantity over quality approach when they changed hands. Certainly worth checking out if you are in the market for a good PNW style boot.
Nice💚 Intresting to see a new wider last 😎
Not a fan of the sole. But looks good and different
Good to map this out. I’m about to order my first pair of nicks and I think I measured my foot 10+ times. And I’m going to order a set of quick ship falcons lol. Sweet lord clean that’s NDC😂😂😂. Really cool evolution of the design. You might be the first person to show brown waxed flesh side:side. No one has shown the patina like that. Really awesome.
Wow. My feet hurt just from thinking about the break in period for all those boots!! My feet would be in casts 😅
Girlfriend: "What are you watching?"
Me: "Porn"
Girlfriend: "No you're not, you're watching that dude that cuts open boots!"
Me. "Yep...Boot porn."
Very cool design. Not quite what I'm looking for, but glad to see lace-to-toe getting some love. I believe this is the only way currently to get a lace-to-toe from Nick's on the Thurman last. If it was black roughout lace-to-toe on the Thurman last with a black wedge sole, I'd be first in line, but I can't even configure that on Nick's website, so I must wait.
Ummm no offense but I am poor.... So what is the best boot that is comfortable, indestructible, last for ever, and cheap.... Like under $100.00
That someone could actually afford.
I love my ND1's tbh, I wear them riding my motorcycle, on job sites, and sometimes if I just wanna feel taller (I usually wear barefoot 2mm sandals so it's a big difference). I don't consider it "unwearable" but maybe that's in part due to wearing them so much (and replacing steel toe/plate boots that were for OSHA, but not actually required for my work). Would love a more casual/dressier boot maybe with bison or something in the future. Id say peccary is an option but that would be v expensive too so idk. I rarely wear sneakers casually (just running shoes and sandals usually) so the MUGGS looked cool, but wouldn't get a lot of wear.
LOVE LACE TO TOE BOOTS! That was the best decision made here... Only thing I'm not a fan of is the outsole... PNW boots are basically known for the vibram lug outsole with the leather mid sole and heel stack. Should've gone with the vibram lug and heel stack
so you made a heavier Danner MEB... and probably hundreds of dollars more.
4 /6 fit well enough, but not well enough that I want to wear them everyday.
Uh......no man. Y'all are fecking insane. You spent ~$4k to get 2 pairs of boots you would want to wear daily. Or buy 20, $200 boots.
man... that thumbnail took me off guard... that is one sexy looking boot. why am i flustered over some damn leather! DAMN YOU LEATHER!
I wish I could buy this in a shorter 6” version. I’d be all over it.
Everything looks good besides the design.. don't really like this brown patch, and personally, I prefer 6 inch boots. besides that, I would have probably bought these. I will wait for ND4 even though the whole collection doesn't have 6-inch boots I hope the next one will have.
Im a 10E in JK Boots and they fit perfectly. What size and width should I go with the new Munson ThurmanNW last from Nicks?
"It's way different ..even though it's a suttle difference"......umm what?
I'd buy a pair of the ND3's if they were still available. Are there any other models available too?
Honestly I’m not a huge fan of the design. I like the patch design but I’d rather see the double patch like the nd2’s. Also not a huge fan of the outsole. I liked the leather stacked heel with a v100. The nd1 is my favorite and the nd2 is amazing too. Nothing against you or your ideas but the nd3 looks atrocious to me. Unfortunately I found the channel after the first two nd drops
I realized right now that I can't find good brand that makes shoes in Eu, most work boots are from china poor quality, cheap. Leather shoes made in nation or Eu are mostly dress shoes and still kinda good but not as good the amercian ones :|
and I am too poor to buy quality cuz shit is expensive + custom fee's are killer
I feel like the ND3 would be perfect with no lineman patch. I love the design of the patch I just don't see the use with the double vamp, it seems like unnecessary bulk for design sake.
Hey amigo I usually enjoy your videos. This one seemed a bit to corporate. I appreciate your work. But in reality your working in the mountain west, so maybe take some time to design a nice usuable saddle. This western craft won't make you millions, but it will give you some pride and sense of community. Have a nice evening.
Talks function over form about the last on a boot with a superfluous vanity linesman patch. So confused right now....
The profile looks so similar to the boots I wore in the military, but dang are they nicer.. you can wear anything all day and night, but how I always wished I could've slapped a nice pair of boots on my feet instead of the approved and issued footwear that fell apart so quickly
that big prototype looked like low level greaves & sabatons in a shitty MMO running on a 2003 PC lowest settings lol. 100% id wear them as is.
I might be the only one, but the heel counter and vamp cover not lining up on 3 of 4 areas really bothers me. It looks best when they meet top corner to top corner, like on the inside of the right boot and it would go more with Weston's theme of hard lines meeting swoopy ones. At ua-cam.com/video/IyNSub0CWgY/v-deo.html you can really see the difference in QC in these boots. Maybe it's just the 1st pair that was done quickly to make the video???
Very nice! I like the older line/pattern better with the (short) toe cap. Alos like the brownbase with black patch a bit better. Your enthusiasm makes the whole thing so much Fun. Thx
Just run these back. Sale was over before I even noticed it started. Raise the price if you have to for goodness sake. Whats with businesses not wanting business these days? 😮💨
