    Get ready to witness a touchdown of craftsmanship! In this video, we're taking the leather used for official NFL footballs and turning it into a boot fit for a quarterback. That's right, we're taking the material that has been tested, tackled and thrown by the greatest players in the game and giving it a new life. So sit back, grab some peanuts and crackerjacks, and watch as we create a boot that will have you feeling like a MVP.
    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.

    One website suggestion for Nicks. I'd love to see a drop down under the Buying Guide or another tab that lists ALL of the leather options with boot images showing boots made in each specific leather colors/types. It would make picking a leather much easier. For that matter, the drop down could show all of the options (heal profiles, heal stack options, toe box options, etc), with photo examples of each to help individuals pick the look they want.
    Love the boots, and your frequent uploads! Keep up the awesome work......

      That is an excellent idea.
      They can literally add another tab.
      Under that tab, Is like you mentioned: leather types and heel types. They do already show you the soles, but why not have both. All of the different soles on actual boots. Hardware colors on actual boots. Top cap options on boots
      They can name the Tab
      "Nicks Pics"

      So wouldn’t that mean they would have to make each boot in every leather option? That would be wasteful wouldn’t it? I guess they could make every single pair and hope that someone will buy it. Maybe an alternative would be some kind of augmented reality?

Also, if you look at each boot on the quick ship or MTO, they tell you what leathers are available for that boot which can be cross referenced back to the buying guide.

    What about the world's toughest Crocs, but the fur-lined ones you would need to make a super spongy footbed, everything else as normal but fur-lined and spongy footbed. World's toughest Jesus saddles or the worlds toughest cowboy boots with all the trim, the world's toughest Brogues or oxfords, worlds toughest ice hockey boots. Just make sure the ankle support is there, you may have to add an extra couple of layers of footbed to screw on the blades, CCM sell blade holders and blades, I had a pair of ccm mustangs when I was young and they were just like a good pair of work boots with a double or triple thickness toecap, good heavy duty footbed and with extra padded ankle support. Google an image of a pair of ice hockey boots and you guys will see for yourself. the world's toughest brothel creepers, they would need to be blue suede and have big Crepe soles.

      I cannot claim that their glue is in fact contact cement. It merely seems to be. I won't claim to be an expert on adhesives as that's a pretty specialized field of chemistry.
      It's worth noting - as you are no doubt aware - that Nick's has long had an outstanding reputation for high quality footwear. I hope you get an answer from them.
      After watching many of their videos and those of other manufacturers of high quality custom footwear, I've noticed that while glues are used in the construction of Nick's boots, the glue itself doesn't seem to be a sole structural component but rather serves to hold the leather in certain shapes even after the boots are stitched together.
      And, boy are they stitched together; often with two rows of stitching. I cannot see anywhere where the glue alone is holding the shoe together. There must be half a mile of thread in each boot.
      If I needed that kind of quality I wouldn't hesitate to buy their boots. But I don't think they make boots for nurses.
