Concerning complaining about standing in water: It's not my preferred method, I have always just worn boots for about a week, then condition them with a (reasonable) amount of leather dressing. And it works for me, but I get the feeling a lot of people have no clue how to deal with leather. They have these arcane rules of engagement for cleaning and maintaining leather footwear that are mostly based in myth. Leather is a robust product, it can get wet, it can be cleaned with soap and water. Nick's themselves tell you to just wash boots in the sink with dish soap and condition them when they dry off. It's really not that complicated but people sure seem to make it so. Anyhow, ultimately even if you were thrashing your footwear (which you aren't, obviously you have a lot of real world experience with good boots) shit they are yours, not anyone's place to tell you how to live your life and treat your gear. Keep doing what you do, I really enjoy your boot and chainsaw videos; and if it means anything, I clean my boots with a hose and dish soap too and have so for years, nothing destroyed yet!
It’s funny how people validate themselves by trashing on other people based on myths isn’t it? It’s like people going nuts when they see someone is a metal utensil on cast iron, using soap & water occasionally on carbon steel, or heaven forbid use a different ooo for seasoning than someone else prefers. You’d think that these were sacred artifacts needing of our protection at all costs instead of great tools that take all sorts of abuse as long as they are properly cared for long term. Great content!
Kimball, your videos are informative, practical, and presented in a matter of fact way with your experiences thrown in for good measure. Your words are far reaching. Keep up the advice, and generosity of sharing. Sounds like your little people have a good example to follow. Bless you and those you love.
Are those boots for work or casual? I'm wondering to buy a pair but not sure wich one is the best, can you give recommendations? I'm looking for work boots but there are many boots talking about these nicks only.
They aren’t technically “Work boots” but they are made so well and durable enough for most jobs. Obviously no steel toe if that’s something you need though.
With such a dry Arizona environment, you definitely want to give them a smidge of conditioner a couple times a year. Also, if you want to wax them to restore the waterproofing, just rub the whole boot with a bar of beeswax, and run over it with a heat gun to melt it in. ........Nevermind, you conditioned them later in the video. 🤣🤣 That's what I get for commenting before the video's over.
#KimbalCody I like your videos :) Boots are made to be worn, like you do! I have the iron rager and a pair of alden indys. Great boots. The thing with nicks or whites is the heel. Often they are very high and to me feminine. Theese urban loggers however looks different. Is this the default configuration or a custom choice. If so what do they call this heel?
They are called logger heels and are heels often preferred by woodland firefighters, linemen, loggers, and virtually anyone who wants/needs superior arch support. You are probably more accustomed to what is referred to as a block heel, which is the type of heel more typical of mainstream boots.

Thank you for the comments. I've got a few more videos coming up this week

Of course you can do it that way, but it don’t mean that you should. If I want to take a shower I don’t have somebody piss on me.
@@KimballCody are your boots soft toe or celastic toe?
Brother the little kid just reminded me of my daughter. Like always coming to interrupt! Very curious girl.
Amazing boots. My fav brand Nicks Handmade
As soon as I heard your child and your interaction on top of the content I said like and subscribe.
Glad to see a new boot video from you!👍
Mom! Dad is outside in the back yard talking to himself again. 🤣
More like my neighbors wondering who I'm talking to 😆 🤣 😂

Beautiful boots!
Those look real good!
Thanks
I need to get some of these.
How did you size these compared to your iron rangers?
Their website says half size down from Brannock, but same width.
Need some advice/ education on leather
What's the difference between waxed flesh and rough out leathers?
Rough out us the same as Waxed flesh minus the wax.

I use them for work. They're very well built, heavy duty, and I've done a lot with them. Welding, building fence, cutting wood, car repair etc.

Where do you locally source coconut oil in Canadia?
Good question......in the southern part?
That little boy thought daddy’s mind was slipping lol. Who are you talking to!
Great dady
I ordered mine a while ago, being made now
Waxed flesh?
Yes, brown waxed flesh
Did you get them? Are they any good
Yes I got them awhile ago, I love them. They are broke in and very comfortable.
I like your shirt.
Do a video on kenetrek hardscabble tan boots.
Sounds like a boot used in Alaska chasing dall sheep
@@KimballCody Yeah I think one of my best boots ever. They have gone up in price. You can resole them also.

Very good shoes
What last are those?
Are these soft toe or celastic toe?
Soft
6:23 when you become pretty sure that your dad has lost it..
curious if you found the Nick's true to size or if you ordered down a 1/2 size?
I'm a 12D in Nike. 10.5D in Red Wing. 11E in Nick's. 10.5E in White's
@@KimballCody 😂😂😂 Imagine how confused Doug was after reading your reply.
I went 1/2 size down for nicks boots. Worked well.
How have you found this height to be compared to the redwing moc toe (875)? Both are advertised as 6", but this looks taller.
Feels taller. Could be the heels
Are these moderate arch or medium arch?
Medium
I think this might actually be the moderate arch. 3 layer heel stack?
@6:27 your kid sanity checked you... 😆😆
Thems who freak about water must have never worked outdoors.. Got these exact boots on order. On week 7 of waiting for try on pair...

You can get a smaller heel. I ordered some builder pros with the small heel
Obuv treba ošetrovať priebežne a nie, keď sú z toho škarbale. 😄
