    Thanks for watching!!! If you didn't catch the code for $20 off of any pair of Nicks in the video be sure to go back and watch through it to save yourself a couple bucks! But be quick, the code only works for the first 10 people to activate it!

      These boots look so good! What type of leather is that? My Nick’s were walnut half roughouts. This looks like a different color; I really like it 👍🏾🫡.

      I looked for these on your site hoping to buy them. Are they just for UA-cam? I live in the desert. These things could actually survive here. You should coordinate with BF Goodrich for the Baja 1000 or something. I truly want a pair in size 13.

    And back years ago in the early 90’s when I was doing this with old BFG All terrains replacing the soles on my Doc Marteens people thought I was crazy . Never had to replace my boots again until I was bored of them .

    Years ago I worked in a prison. They had a shoe/ leather shop. There was an inmate that would use a lawn tractor tire just because it didn’t have any metal wires thru it. He made some wonderful wedge soles with them.

    CHALLENGE: Build a 6" Traveler w/ Vibram Cristy sole using a 55 Last.
    I would think if you add 2-3 sanded/tapered midsole layers from arch to heel keeping the bottom flat, then cover with a solid rubber slip sole, a Traveler with the 55 last arch support could work.

    Hey Nick i NEED a pair of boots, however my case is a bit specific so i was wondering what type i should go for. I weld at Honda SC manufacturing it’s a long, hard, n fast paced day on concrete. Also every thing that you can wack yourself is at ankle height, i also cant have metal on the outside of the boot and must be steel toe.
    So my check list is
    -Plenty of support for long days standing n anti slip
    -All leather and able to resist weld spatter
    -No/minimum metal on the outside of the boot
    -Ankle protection is a must, 8 inch boot
    -Must have steel/safety toe
    Im a 10 wide, what is your suggestion?

    *This was a really cool video! The video description says how this isn't for sale and for entertainment purposes only. @nicksboots The next time you all do a special video of some sort, where the boots won't be for sale, write a pinned comment instead. Nobody reads the video description. I saw TONS of comments from people wanting a pair of tired tread boots lol 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣! That tells you no one reads the video description ever. So write a pinned comment, and people for sure will see that instead! It'll save you a lot of trouble from telling people over and over that one off boots aren't for sale.*
