Testing $1000 “Indestructible” Nicks Handmade Boots

- Nicks Handmade Boots Review - Nicks Boots made me an Indestructible boot to put to the test so we dropped a bowling ball on it, did a 145lb puncture test, flamed it up with an aerosol flame thrower, kicked a bunch of junk, and shot it with a ton of guns to see how indestructible of a boot Nicks Handmade Boots can make.

I need to get me a pair of these boots cause im always stepping on live ammunition and flamethrowers at the workplace.

So in short, if I'm caught in a freak accident, my whole body would be burnt to crisp but my friends can ID me from my indestructible boots from nicks
yep. so you get to die with your boots on. and the boots gets to survive with YOU on... 😂😂😂😂
Better than paying for dental I suppose.
They should attach number Tags and lead an owner registry for that.
@@GadgetInspektor honestly tho... those boots would make it easy to identify a body, just tuck a name tag in them and they’ll survive anything and keep that tag safe
Exactlu
A pal of mine got his foot caught in a grain auger wearing Nicks. The boots-the sole specifically, stopped the auger from shearing his foot in half. His foot was saved, the boots were rebuilt and he was back to work in a day (boot rebuild took longer). I've worn Nicks for 17 years, and am ordering again.
"So they won't make this boot for you"
they will if I pay them enough.
Exactly, I'm sure they would accommodate you if you furnished them with a blank cheque
Why test a boot we can't get?
@@Paul-nr6ws to test and show just how good they can make boots????
Nick's is a custom boots shop. If you pay them the money they absolutely will make this boot for you & have fun along the way.
It's not every day they get orders for Incredible Hulk grade boots.

of all the shoes you ripped apart, it never bothered me, no matter how expensive they were, but this is heartbreaking ;_;
It didn't hurt until he shot it... somehow until that point it felt salvageable
@@SawdustAndCalluses You didn’t cry when the damn water jet sliced it in half, rendering it unwearable?
I needed those boots to fight reptilians in the secret military D.U.M.B.'s!
You're right, he should've given them to you!
This so sad and a model that can't be bought
The Company just watching him destroying their boot after a bunch of hard work:
👁💧👄💧👁
Actually it'd make them brim with pride, if you watch the tear down video, he was very obviously fighting the boot.
This boot was special made to pretty much showcase the company's capabilities.
@@jac1207 I got carpal tunnel syndrome just *watching* that video! SO fascinating!
if anything this is a testament to their workmanship and boot building quality.
And also furniture company at 8:12
I think they made these specifically for them to be destroyed by this man
Just watched this again. Even cooler than I remembered.
Do you remember what model these boots are?
We're they lick tested? To prove it was a real boot, of course

Nicks could use this video as an advertisement for their boots and it'd work so well
That's literally what this is.
but it is per se
It pretty much is.
And it works so well
Probably not a good idea, otherwise they’d be 6 months out from the order date!
Took me years to pull the trigger on a pair of Nick’s boots. When I finally did, it was a huge eye opener. You get what you pay for. I’m a welder/fabricator, for over 20 years. I typically had to get a new pair of steel toe boots every year or two. Usually Carolina’s or Red Wings loggers. I’ve been wearing the same pair of Nick’s at work, and outside of work, every single day for the past 6 years. Buy once, cry once. 😉
How do they hold up to everyday usage? Like on the streets and stuff.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 the only thing the streets are gonna do to a pair of nicks, is wear down the vibram soles over time. Even their non work boots are insanely durable due to the leather and build process.
One of the best endorsements I've ever seen, and for what they are these boots seem to be really reasonably priced.
15:14 yo that gun was perfect on beat
JFC this is the most absurdly over-the-top video you’ve ever done and I am 100% supportive of it
THIS VIDEO IS INSANE IVE SEEN ALL HIS VIDS AND THIS ONE GOES CRAZYYYYYY HE WENT BACK TO THE X-RAY TWICE???? TWICE? AND THE GUNSHOT SYNC WITH HIS CLASSIC BROLL MUSIC OOOOOOHHH
In truth, nothing is truly indestructible.
But the boots presented in this video are without a doubt durable to the point you could walk through hell and back with them. Very impressed.
Durable AND stylish
Nothing is indestructible because it could be to use my an asteroid or a supernova can easily destroy them
@@misusaki8980 fr? Lemme go test that
And in truth, nothing is completely destructible
@@dut5725 mans getting spiritual on us ;)
This is super cool, pretty late to the release of this but I used to drive past Nick's for years before they moved locations of their headquarters. It's incredible to me to learn that they're probably one of the best bootmakers. When I was growing up we all knew if you needed good boots to get them from Nick's but damn.
They made a pair of boots just to flex. They flexed hard. Materials, craftsmanship, skill. and the boots aren’t ugly. I can imagine the shop sitting around eating wings and beer high fiving watching you try to hurt them.
There is no way anyone's feet would survive attempting to "break" these in.
Even with double or triple socks!
honestly that would be a big concern at first, but provided they were made to be resoled you'd only have to break them in once.
Truth, FWIW Nick's don't break in that hard, I've had Redwings break in harder than my overbuilt Nick's.
You'd NEVER wear double or more socks with Nick's either, the boots are custom fit. This fitment has to include the socks, wearing extra socks will destroy the fit. The boots and socks really should be like a kit with the socks chosen before the boots are fit.
And yes of course they are built to be resoled, even completely rebuilt.
Challenge accepted
I’ve broken in two pairs
Dude, with these boots you could literally kick a .22 bullet out of the sky, like a badass without any real damage. What they made were wearable riot shields for the feet.
Wear these to a street fight
@@buschg7106 imagine you get knocked to the ground and a nigga starts kicking you with these on 😳

@@Q.Q. so the only thing they won't protect you from is a crazed shoe maker
@@zedlepplin7834 yes if you piss off a shoe maker you become the shoe
@@angeliquevampir9327 words to live by
Without a doubt Nick's boots are the most comfortable and toughest made. I've wore them exclusively for 5 years now as a wildland firefighter. I've used Wesco, Whites, Danner and Georgia boots and I'll never switch back if I can help it. Wesco would be my second choice.
I’d definitely buy this boot, even if it cost twice as much as the regular line. Just to have one pair of work boots for life
@J Hemphill yes, and I would pay 5 times the regular price.
@J Hemphill No lie though, the break in would be hell on earth.
My standard Nick's are the heaviest boots I've ever owned, I don't even want to think about lifting the "indestructible" over and over for 12 hours. Sometimes you can armor something too much. It's very similar to the problem to he Soviets ran into with the IS-7 tank, you can armor something beyond usefulness.
@@jacktheaviator4938 it's often said that a pound on the feet is 5 on the back. So these boots would be extremely tiring. There are a small number of use cases/environments where these boots would be useful, but a solid smokejumper with a steel toe would be noticeably lighter and cheaper while being 90-95% as durable and lasting 80-90% as long.
For this life and the next
If they made a limited edition run of these boots, I’d make sure I get them. Look great too!
I'd throw down a lot of money for this pair
My god would they be painful to break in
@@moosenak they would never be broken in but your feet would be 🤣
my god breaking them in would take 200 hours
Man. How much do you think these things would cost? I would say no less then 3 grand.
You know, they could've put a spring steel insole in it, would've really upped the bullet stopping potential. They also could've built the shoe around a pair of sabatons.
Ok, I get that these boots were made specifically for an "indestructible" challenge, but omg, watching you do exactly what these beautiful pieces of craftsmanship were made for was so painful 😭
Well done Nick's, we need more companies like you back in the world 😍
Made with pride in the USA by skilled craftsmen. Let's elevate craftsmanship to the level it once was and should still be appreciated for
What’s sad is quality is kinda a niche market now. People would prefer to buy cheap and buy multiple times vs buy once and have something forever. For example, I’ve got some American made tools I’ve used at work for years and years and they are as good as new, and I’ve got some cheap Vietnam made ones that break often and always buying new ones. The cheap ones will outsell the expensive ones to the average consumer. Especially ones that only need a cheap one to get the job done. It’s sad but it’s logical and actually a better deal for most in the long run. Most industries are like that now, quality manufacturers can’t compete with the cheap ones products that are basically meant as single use or limited use. My American made Danner boots lasted 2x as long as the Chinese made ones that are really similar, but cost half as much. So I could get the same use out of the same ammount of money but for some it makes sense to spend less up front.
@@tattedupchrist1105 don't remind me it makes me cry...
If I buy a tool I want it to break because I was dumb and abused it wrong, otherwise I want it to last forever, or be able to maintain close to forever.
Not enough quality in anything anymore, it's sad. People are addicted to the CONSUME lifestyle. Not only is this stuff cheaper, but you get the dopamine of constantly buying stuff, you're 50 dollars away from a hit of happiness and it's in the trash the next week.
@@escapetherace1943 exactly. Good point
@@tattedupchrist1105 do you know how many tools I've bought to start projects that never finish lol? It sounds good but do we really want $500 vcrs? I guess the tradeoff is having good jobs on our soil which may even it out...
@@dashwolf8057 unfortunately your right and I agree with you to an extent. I’m right there with you. I have plenty of cheap tools. But we should be more careful, because hand tools aren’t the only thing we outsource to bring the price of production down. BUT places like China not only steal our intellectual property, but actively try to undermine and undercut US companies. Billions of dollars a year are lost to China because of fraud and counterfeit goods. That might not sound like a big deal when talking about shoes or hand tools. But when talking about something like a semiconductor, or a cell phone, etc.. it becomes a little sketchy. The same country that gives you a $20 dollar VCR also tolerates Chemists selling fentanyl to the average joe in America. It’s like trusting your neighbor who is a thief and you who you are enemies with, to manufacture the security camera for your house and the lock for your front door. (Not the greatest analogy I know but works I guess)
Carl Murawski: Nicks boots are awesome.
Rose Anvil: Hold my spare bowling ball.
Next up - Nicks looks at this videos and decides to up the ante by building a boot that Demolition Ranch will have to use a black tip .50 rifle to get through.
@@MrMartinSchou ;)
I used to sell/fit these boots and also Whites.... They are honestly on another LEVEL in quality. TOTALLY worth the price. And the people there are SO great to work with. You honestly have me wanting to get into becoming a cobbler as a hobby. Thanks for the great content!

Why do you guys not do custom boots slightly lesser than this one for people?

15:22. Amazing incorporating the music with the bolt sound. Also for the Waterjet Channel collab!
Best vid yet. I think Nicks should toss you a commission for turning us all on to their superior quality and craftsmanship.
Here for all the background giggles 🤍
Helo
Excellent music choices and the editing was hilarious. Love the scene where you’re typing on a computer and then turn and look t the camera and kick the computer
Same 😂👍
Very nicely done. The intro to the x ray is one of a kind with ur review. Really 😎
👍🏽Beautiful! All of it! The boots, the video, the sponsors... magnificent!
If a boot was a monster truck, this would be it.

Big, sounds awesome.. but breaks constantly? Sounds a bit off there.

This is a mainline battle tank already
This is the only thing that can stop stepping on a lego
@The Kingdom of Bad Decisions lol
Haha, a fellow parent I see! Memories of Legos at 3 in the morning getting ready for work still make the bottoms of my feet hurt 😂
omg lego's and electrical plugs. those damn things hurt.
These videos are awesome! I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oregon & have never heard of these amazing boots. Nicks boots are now on the top of my list for boots. What kind of laces did they use ?
Dude. I found your Channel the other day, this video, will save me money in the long run. I love full grain excrllemt quality boots. A pair of Nicks, is definatley on my ,"gotta have list".
Wearing 5 pounds on each foot sounds like a leg and lower abs workout.
Rock Lee, General Contractor
They can advertise it was a indestructible work out boot lol
I have a pair of Danner Flashpoint boots ant they weight 3lbs each. All i can say is they are exhausting to wear in the terrain.
the standard issue boot that the army gave me were heavy too i doubt 5 pound heavy but at least 3
guard men's from a medieval time is laughing at your chicken leg from heaven while still wearing steel boot in the afterlife.
WOW! This was one of the best. laugh-out-loud videos I've seen in a long time! Thanks for showcasing Nicks, before your channel I've never heard of them! I'm telling everyone I know to look at and buy Nicks if you need a boot that's going to last you for the rest of your life! I just wish Nicks would make a boot that we can use in the Army! Thanks for a great video! Keep up the great work!
Oh it would be great if there were nicer Army compliant boots.
@@elliottlarson2221 The Danners are "OK" if you work at a desk, I find they are comfy for about 6 months but the leather and nylon/canvas (if that's what it even is) can't hold up if you're in the field, dessert and forget about the of Afghanistan, that place will shred most any sole of a boot in less than six months if you're actively out patroling. But you don't need to be Infantry to have the cemented soles fail on those boots, even those that actively work in a motorpool or warehouse (SSA) or put 5-6 miles (or more) on a day around a base will have those boots failing within a year. Sadly, the old black leather boots from almost 20 years ago (I'm thinking Cohcoran "jump boot" variant (basically a cap toe) were ok in the sense that they had traction (Vibram soles), were comfortable after break-in, stitching wouldn't fall apart and could be re-soled! But they were too hot in the dessert and weren't warm enough in Europe during the winters. If they weren't warm enough in Europe I'm sure they weren't warm enough in Korea although the Bellville's Gortex "Mattahorn" was good but heavy.
Now here is company that knows what they are doing. True craftsmanship!! Awesome video.
One of the greatest vids I’ve seen on UA-cam. Awesome!!
YESS! PLEASE talk them into making a toned down version. I love Nick's and would be thrilled to see them collaborate with you
I think this is the only video of yours that killed my “sole”. how could you do such a thing to these masterpieces?
Fascinating....I forwarded your video to all the men in my family. They love these "demo by force" vids.
ngl this is one of the best videos I've seen recently. It's brilliant!
I can’t stop thinking about that spongebob episode where they try to destroy the boots
Imagine having to break that in. 😂
It takes a decade to,break in but after that it is very comfortable to wear 😊
It likely wouldn't need as much breaking in because the shoes would be made to your exact measurements.
Custom fit shoes don’t rlly need to be broken in bc they fit to ur feet.
More like they would break you in first
I've spent most of my life wearing red wing/ irish setter or ariat and had never heard of nicks till this and the ND3 video (incredible btw) and I am set on getting my hands on some of these amazing boots. Truly peices of american history.
Hey I appreciate the orchestral music! Those are impressive... I think my Redwings are good enough for what I need and I've been super happy with them for a while...
Not even 3 minutes into the video, and I want a pair, that’s some damn fine marketing
I would absolutely buy those boots. I’m very tall and very big. My foot isn’t huge for someone my size... so the extra thickness would provide the extra support I need for working in rough conditions. I would actually love these in a size 15. Please Nicks. Please!
How is size 15 not huge ahahah
No man I’m absolutely sure walking in these boots would literally KILL your feet! I have a regular custom fire boot from them and trust me it took about 2 months of hiking up the hills in Oregon to finally break them in lol
Keep in mind, something this overbuilt would have to cost over a grand
@@CatBarefield attach a 7' tall person to those feet and they wouldn't look huge.
Size 15 would be about 6.5 pounds per boot.
One test I wish you did with these, a water / soak test. Great review overall I enjoyed the video.
I LOVE THIS BOOTS 😍😍😍…really nice video buddy 🤩👍👍👍
This channel is next level. I’ve never been happier with content I’ve subscribed to. I especially appreciate how thorough/knowledgeable you are and how calming you voice is. Great work !
summary:
they made a wearable hammer
Most fun video EVER! And the water cutter blew my mind.
Great show. Great test.
Great boot.
Thank you.
UA-cam recommended me this video, and to see him cutting into the most beautiful work boots I've ever seen, cutting through the fine craftsmanship of leather and just everything the boot's made of. It brings a tear to ones eye...
This is probably my favourite video so far. What a cool boot, the tear down was thorough, lots of fun with the smashing and the shooting. What a treat!
I learned about nicks boots from watching this channel, big fan of both, i hope to buy a pair of nicks soon! Keep making killer vids my friend :)
Bless the algorithm for bringing me here, I just lost it when you start kicking shit ! Like you guys are just having fun as that boot is indestructible!
As a former Gonzaga student and resident of Spokane, one day I am absolutely going to buy a pair of Nick's. Damn those are some impressive boots and craftsmanship
Debating between them and Whites. I’d use for casual as I don’t work in the labor industry
15:13 that music mix with the reload and shot wowow
Rightt! I clicked again on this video, just to hear that part again.
The devil is in the details.
nice video and audio edit at 15:14 to get the base drum downbeats and bullet impact of the .300 ultra mag to synchronize
I never thought I'd find a pair of what I would call Stevie proof boots and all my friends used to make fun of me because I used to put screws in my boots with an impact driver to help with the durability and the longevity and it worked lol so to see nails and screws in this boot is amazing
The important question is: what’s the breakin time?
Probably a couple of months.
It took me about two months I was wondering if it was a smart decision I went back to my old brand and man there is no comparative on my Nicks vs any other ones totally recommend
Only a few seconds with a gun
Took a month for me, it's worth it.
Wasn't as bad as my redwings and the build quality/comfort is second to none
For the fire test I wish the boots had been treated with two coats of Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP first. Given the fire retardant chemicals in it, it would have been interesting to have seen if there was a difference and if so how much.
I LOCE TGE LOOK OF THE BOOT!!! It looks like a fantasy boot.
Nicks Boots......... the best pair of boots I've ever own. Could not count the number of fires and mileage I put on those babies!!!!!!!!!!!! Bought them back in the late 70's early 80's. I don't remember what they cost then but, worth every penny and more. God, I miss American made products!!!!!!
Most important question. Were they comfortable while you had them on?
You should have tried a fireman's axe on the steel toe.
When a Timberland goes hulk mode you get a Nicks boot.
I really enjoyed this one.. great job guys, especially the destructive round house kicks...lol
_they x-rayed a boot_
Gettin some serious Mythbusters vibes on this one 😆. Seriously though, this channel is freakin awesome man thanks a lot.
Hehe xd
As a welder, I go through boots every 6 months. I'm tired of trying different boots, gonna get these and hope they will be my last
Update this comment in a few months and let us know the results.
Leather spats usually fix this issue.
Get two pairs of boots and alternate between them, they will last much longer when allowed to fully dry
just started a new job my docs are pretty tired .... I'm trying to find a new boot. 5lb boots.... would be good I could work out and work ... GREAT video... The guns clinched it for me!
Bought a pair of White's earlier this year, been itching to get a pair of Nick's as well! Proud Washingtonian
You could go broke buying handmade boots in Spokane. White's, Nick's, Franks, Cruze, JK
You talk like a Logger !!!
So, which side of the Cascades do you set chokers on? : )
@@Ddabig40mac I haven’t heard of Cruze are they similar to the flagship boots of JK, Nicks, Franks?
I just bought a pair of Nick's after looking at Whites. Exact same boots but Nick's was $100 less bought as customs for my two different size feet. Bought at Bakers Boots in Eugene Oregon

Great to see such quality American craftsmanship
I've done a few reviews of Redwing's. This year I'm hoping to ride my Harley to Spokane and have Nicks fit me in to a pair.
Well worth the wait, you really didnt disappoint even though you really were hyping this video up before release, well done!
They do some nice craftsmanship, I am only hours away from Tacoma so I might look into getting me a pair of one of their boots.
A year late, but I’ll put in my 2 cents. I’ve worked in a shopping/receiving environment for years. If there’s one thing that will destroy leather boots, it’s working around pallets.
For those that aren’t in the know, it’s the dropping of pallets and squeezing the boots in between pallets that does the trick, along with box cutters that slip at the right angle.
I’ve gone through half a dozen work boots, even ones with polyurethane on the outer toe for protection, and pallets just eat through then. Scraping, cutting, and tearing through leather like nothing.
There is one exception: Roughout leather boots. They can handle all the abuse without any kind of visible damage. Only problem is they discolor and darken to an embarrassingly degree if tanned on the lighter side.
But work boots aren’t there to look pretty. Hope this helps.
I love this video! I can tell y'all had so much fun making it and testing the boot and it really shines through. I was smiling the whole time :)
Ok that kicking segment was great. The lookback before kicking the computer had me dying. haha
Had a moment of the good 'ole "Sunday Reyes Resting session:. only to wake up while the boot is being cut in half with the water jet and for a moment I thought I was watching a Bond movie of something! :D
Impressive. This video will make me seriously consider paying a little more for an extremely well crafted boots from Nick’s.
This video was incredible. The effort that went into making this video and those boots is amazing. Nick's is an amazing company. The quality that goes into their boots is next level.
"So we smashed it, stabbed it and burnt it, but what else?... Let's kick some plates!" I fucking loved this video.
I'm so glad your channel grew bro
I dont think that people realy realize how mutch work this video probably was. Amazing for such a "small" channel! Iam totaly not into shoes, but you got my abo.
Nicks should definitely offer this boot in its line up, I’m sure it would be popular. I would get one!
Itd probably in the $800-1000 range. I don't know how popular it would be at that price point.
@@kevinomalley1145 i would at that price, those boots are awesome
I love my builder pros and these videos reinforce that feeling.
smashing those figurines looks so fun
Impressive! I want a pair now!
