Nick himself called me to discuss the measurements, which arch style I wanted, and so on. When I ordered my first pair I was sent a form with measurements to be filled out and detailed instructions for another person to take those measurements. In a way you can “try before you buy” with Nick’s. They are all highly customizable to suit your specific requirements. Nick’s, White’s, or Frank’s for heavy duty work boots. And I say this purely from a practicality standpoint, I couldn’t care less about fashion or showing off fancy brand names. Can you describe a person’s body type with only their height or only their waist size? The old-school method of taking measurements of the wearer’s feet and making a last might be time-consuming and costly but it’s worth it. It’s nice that factory production has made shoes inexpensive and convenient to buy, but I don’t believe that a single size number can properly describe the shape of a human foot. I feel that I can work harder and longer with less fatigue at the end of the day. The durability is amazing but the comfort is what’s unmatched. I will never go back to off-the-shelf work boots again. They were recommended to me after someone heard me complain about how welding/cutting slag was damaging the stitching on my Red Wings. The last boots I bought were from Nick’s, one of a handful of companies whose specialty is hand-made boots for wildland firefighters and utility workers. I’ve owned Doc Martens, Danner, Red Wing, etc. I used to use many of the traditional boot brands. It seems like it would work fine for its intended purpose though, they do say up front it’s a light-duty work boot.
