In this video, Grant explains each step in the bootmaking process. Follow along for our process that we have been using since 1964, building each pair to the highest quality standards.
All Nicks Boots are made here in Spokane, WA from the finest parts and materials. We are USA-owned and operated, valuing the livelihoods of our workers as well as the quality of our boots. If you're looking for the toughest work boots on the market, you've finally come to the right place.
If you're interested in how our boots are serviced, check out other content on our RUclips channel! 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.

I swear I watch every single one of these and own a pair and still will watch every new video with a child like fascination
We are fascinated with boots as much as you are! 😄
I watch every single one of these and I can't even justify buying boots. I'm an office worker who will never get a chance to wear one of these down in a 100 years but still I want these so bad.
@@davechuasoup that's better reason to get a pair they will last you a lifetime
@@davechuasoup friend are you gonna be 80 years old one day saying i should of bought a custom pair of hand made boots?. there are many kool thing that life offers , bur breakin' in a pair of boots like this, can add to your life in ways you wood not of thought . order some friend.
@@davechuasoup I am an office worker and still own a pair of Nicks. And I am looking forward to any muddy, rainy day, when I can walk them out in the forest or even on the boardwalks, staying all dry and cozy. And as tyler said: If you dont do heavy duty work in them every day, they will last you even longer.
"These boots are expensive, what the heck - how hard can they be to make?"
_12 minutes later_
"Oh"
What a beautiful hand craft! Please keep this industry alive. I understand what you’re doing. Thanks a lot
Dont get any ideas guys but, its amazing that you can even sell these boots for like $500. There is so much manpower and labor that goes into every single boot its amazing
Finally! I nderstand who the last works and how it gets removed! I've been wondering about this for two days. Cant wait to get my new boots!

Love these videos! Gets me more excited about the arrival of my Rose Anvil ND1 indestructible boots that I ordered!
Absolutely the best boots at any price!
Thanks for the narration. I’ve watched a lot of these but never knew the process. This was great.
My favorite!! Need another pair soon 💯
Best Nicks video with a great explanation.
I love watching Master craftsmen at work. I someday hope to own a pair of Nick's boots. Thank you gentlemen!
Thank you for these exhaustive explanations !
Love my Chelsea’s. Thanks.
Super detailed, concisely insightful.
Respect from Indonesia 🙏
От всей души благодарю вас за великолепную работу !
Very cool! Thank you for sharing this video!
I cannot wait to visit the store in Spokane and gets me mines!!
I have Frankenstein feet which would not tolerate the wear of these beautiful boots, but as a craftsman and artificer in my own right, I greatly admire the cobbler's craft and I appreciate these videos! My burning question is answered at 12:15, where all those sharp boot nails go. Great stuff.
Nicks generally does a custom fit to your feet.
Fun to watch my boots getting built!
I have had my boots for one year and three days and all I need to do is replace the heel on these comfortable boots. Can't wait to get my second pair and a first for my daughter. Nothing compares to these boots.
What type are you getting for your daughter?
Well done. Thanks 👍👍
Thanks Nick's for these videos, holding me over while I cross off calendar days waiting for my Roberts to arrive!
Exact same here! Hate to wait but it’s worth
Very skilled. Very nice.
Damn I love Nicks boots.
@Nicks Handmade Boots a video of you guys making the ND1 boots would be awesome.
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Builder Pro boots
I put y'all a sticker from my local in the box with my try on pair... I'm getting excited about my boots🥾🥾🥾🥾
SIMPLY THE BEST.
Can't wait to receive the Moc Toe
I want some now
wow lovely
YOU GO NICKS BOOTS #1 USA 😃👍
Very beautiful and nice 👍 🙏💐
Anda memang luar biasa, saya mengagumi mahakarya anda👍
Great boots ... both feet flat on the floor ( kinda like two thumbs up for
a favorite movie ) ! I want a pair
( I'll have to wait for a scratch & dent
sale )
I would like a job there. I am a small time independence cobbler and my dream job would be to work for nicks handmade boots.
Love mine
Some day I will own a well made pair of boots like these. Firefighting takes a toll on boots and it would be nice to get a pair of boots that would last more than 1 season but my dollar doesn't seem to go as far as it used too. Still looking forward to it, :)
Could you do a profile on how your Packer Boots are made and what the available options look like on a boot.
Thank You and Happy Thanksgiving to all at Nick's Boots
Very impressive, also very expensive, maybe I'll save some money to try a pair, hopefully I won't be disappointed, with such a price tag.
I'd love to attempt to make my own so I could make them how I like. No bulky heel, no arc supports, not super stiff, just simple flexible flat bottomed slip on boots.
Nice work, keep the tradition alive American made and duty free ! USofA still does Quality footwear and hosiery 👌✌
cool work wish I saw less glue and a Good Year Welt instead. and a true leather sole for some. Keep up the good work!
Harika oldu
Вечная обувь. 👍
Cool👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That’s fascinating. I ordered some Falcons a couple months ago now I think and I can’t wait to get them. I may pick up a pair of Americana’s if I like how the Falcons turned out. I wish you guys had boots in stock that I could buy. It seems like the only ones available are for Oompa Loompas or Shrek.
Our In-Stock is updated almost daily, but the standard sizes are usually bought out within a day or 2 of uploading
What do you do with the scrapped boots? Also is it possible to hand stitch a pair of these?
Friend great
What an incredible process! About how many hours of work goes into each pair of boots that you guys make?
It takes about 2 days, with 10 people to make a pair.
👏 Wow Simply Amazing.. could you do a video on how to properly take care of the 👢 boots. And what particular products i should use..
They have those up. Search Nicks Boot care.
Jimmy Diresta sent me. Just saw his boot knife video again.
Hope you subscribe!
I watch just about all these videos and am always wondering about two things that were explained here. The nails through the soles and the last removal. Caught that here
I own a pair of Nicks Builder Pros as well as their belt. I Love them both. However, everytime a video launches I can barely help myself from purchasing another pair. It's inevitable I guess why fight it, I need a pair of Overlanders lol.
Молодцы
Great video? I probably have around four months left to wait for my Americana.
Please advise the actual name of that stand used when using a bulldog pliers.
What are the chances of finding some lasts that are actually foot-shaped with enough room for the toes natural splay and a zero drop heel?
i wanna apply to work in the bottoming department 👀👀
Can you explain how some leather shoes "outside pieces" aren't the same color or "color match" all the same color. It looks like different colors. What causes that?
I am curious how long does it take to make 1 pair of boots from scratch for a professional? Or is it not a one-person job?
Man, I wish I could afford your boots. I'm stuck with Walmart junk for now. Someday... Someday.
How do you get the shoe last out of the boot?
I want to see how McKay stitching machine works, explained
what kind of leather is the mid-sole made from and where can one buy some of high quality? I'm trying to make my own in-soles for my running shoes for a more bare foot feel.
We are currently selling some leather scraps packages! You can look through and see if you find something that would work
Mike Rowe would like this.
bery, bery nisssssssssss
What boots are being made in this video?
3:00 do you just soak the leather in water?
I need some training in shoe making can you help me?
Ok. Where do I buy these?
I wish there wasn’t a 24 week lead time, I almost ordered 2 pairs. I got them saved on my wish list but I can’t wait 6 months. That’s next May!
It is definitely worth the wait. But I see your point. Waiting 24 weeks for boots is alittle crazy
24 weeks is going to pass either way. At the end of that time you could have a pair of these amazing boots. Or you could not.
I chose to get the boots! To each his or her own, but that was my choice. 👍
Uf... Nice game.
Where do I buy your boots??
I'm surprised you don't use a more modern system for cutting, Galco uses an overhead projector/scanner that can map efficient holster shapes onto a hide after it's been marked and mapped for deficiencies in the hide. Maybe too modern for your main line but maybe for quick ship 🤷
That sounds like a really interesting piece of tech, but it would take tons of research and time to set it up. And besides, our clickers do a pretty good job without it!
@@nicksboots viberg uses that method. I assume it would allow for more precise clicking but you guys do it very well already soo
Please inform me can we use slip foam inside
You can, but many don't since it's not needed. Do you have high arches or flat feet?
How much a fair of that boots?
if my foot is exactly 26cm/10.2362 inches what size should i get. i have been stunlocked the last 2 weeks i don't no what size to get
Search for Nicks Sizing Guide on youtube.
So what happens with the first 3 nails ithat hold in the insole?
They get pulled out before the shanking process.
@@lukelarsson I must have missed it every time 🤣. I've been watching these building processes and Wondering for months now.
@@ThomasSteed Ha! Yeah, the guy at 4:12 would have pulled them out. If you don’t remove them it makes getting the last out of the boot really difficult!
my family job
It seems that there's a hammer for everything. Holy smokes.
I wanted to reach out. I dont know if this is the right way of doing it. But theres a RUclipsr out there om a channel called Ghost Town Living. His a guy that bought the Cerro Gordo mine out in a dessert. He builds, maintaines and showcases this place to is all mostly by himself. And in a couplw of videos I've see he mentions shoes or boots hes gottn that dont hold up at all in thouse conditions. It EMIDIATLY got menthinking of you brand. He would benefit greatly from a pair of your boots.
I am resisting the urge to buy a second pair before my first pair is delivered
Пожалуйста русский озвучить субтитры 👍
Скажите пожалуйста сколько стоит такие ботинки ?)
~$550
Wight price these boots
$500 to $600. But worth every penny.
I have no need for these boots and I want many pair of these boots. What’s wrong with me
Nothing, everyone needs a good pair of boots!
@@nicksboots which of these make the best hunting boots? I tend to do hard, wet, long hunts way off trail and up mountains in the Pacific Northwest.
Something like our overlander, which is an 8" boot with a Lug sole sounds like it would fit your hunting trips, if you want something taller then the classic BuilderPro with a 10" upper would be your choice!
Why do some boots - if not most - have welts?
Waterproofing and resoling
Have you ever built a pair of boots that the customer WISHES to include the defects in the leather for more of a “character” look to them?
Assalomu alaykum.....👍 Uzbekistondanman...
Американцы оценят!))
Dear Santa, I've been a good boy this year! Can you please have the elves sew me up a pair of Traveler's in a moc toe size 10.5??? Pretty please! 😍😍😉
Oooooh, me too! Pick me! Pick me!! 😉👍🤣
Hand stitches would be a lot better, machine stitches tend to pull out in a row after one stitch is pulled

The red wing purists call nicks used couch leather.
Respect to boot, shoe, and clothing makers before the invention of the sewing machine. It must have been a b[redacted] to have to hand sew leather and cloth.
