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.
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
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
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.
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 😳
@@hustlehumbly6169 that'd be a Nightmare!
🤣😭@@hustlehumbly6169
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!
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.
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!
WAIT IS THIS THE NICKS VIDEO WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
yes thank god yes
Worth the wait!!!❤️❤️❤️

@@zedlepplin7834 yes if you piss off a shoe maker you become the shoe
@@angeliquevampir9327 words to live by
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 😍
I remember these monsters coming through the shop and wondered what kind of torture you would put them through. I never could have imagined a flamethrower! 🤣🤣🤣
But... they never was released..
@@shimmya Well he clearly works at the shop they make them at then
Why do you guys not do custom boots slightly lesser than this one for people?
@@danielkaiselgruber1750 but his name isnt nick
Best vid yet. I think Nicks should toss you a commission for turning us all on to their superior quality and craftsmanship.
RUclips 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...
I can’t stop thinking about that spongebob episode where they try to destroy the boots
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.
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.
6:54 when you spend so long in quarantine that you find out how to put fire aspect on your leather boots
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!
These are the boots I should have wore when I broke my big toe like ten days or so ago. I even use the white and black x-ray photo as my background now. :)
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.
Not even 3 minutes into the video, and I want a pair, that’s some damn fine marketing
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 have a pair of Nick's builder pro work boots they are awesome and by far the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned
Finally! A pair of boots I can pass down to my great great great great great great great great great great grandchildren.
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 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.
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.
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
i'd definitely spend that much on these boots, since they'd save your feet from pretty much anything that you could possibly have happen to them
A 20 tone 40 foot shipping container don't care what boots u wearing.
You debate like a woman. Finding an exception and using it on a statement allowing for exceptions@@JackTalyorD
"So we smashed it, stabbed it and burnt it, but what else?... Let's kick some plates!" I fucking loved this video.
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.
This won't get as many views as another blundstones video but it's a truly great video. Thanks for making it man!
*edit: I guess youtube came to their senses. Stoked to see this blow up lol
So what was the view count when you made this comment?
I mean it got to my recommended so I think it’ll blow up
such a backhanded compliment
@@rompe-nyc5328 I know right...
You the views manager or something ?
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".
_they x-rayed a boot_
I had to pay their website a visit to see what kind of insane price you have to pay to get boots at this quality and I was chocked. not on how expensive they are, just that they cost less than twice what my work boots cost which is really reasonable when taking into account that they are hand made and a piece of art.
unfortunately am I not living in the us so I can't simply order a pair cause I think the shipping, toll and tax when it enters the country will be far too high to be worth it which is a bummer.
this channel just keeps getting better and better
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!
This is the best video overall about anything that I’ve ever seen
Bwahaha. Best supporting role goes to you! ;) Now maybe one day you'll guess who I am! Hint... you've stayed at my house 🏠
@@barlee6822 wait.... now I’m so curious!!! I have to figure it out!!! 😂
@@rachelhowell4600 bwahaha I'll give you a hint...... some may call me the cougar of Logan 🤣
Ah yes
Finally a shoe i can wear without having to scream when stubbing my toe
your ankle will doe
I am fortunate enough to own a custom-fit pair of Nick’s work boots. They are a masterwork of footwear. Some of the best money I’ve ever spent.
Proceed to stub his toe on the boot…
these boots will stub whatever you walk into
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
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.
This channel should be listed on every tab of RUclips's recommended page. "Sports," "Music," "News," "Gaming," I don't care. All of them.
sooo good!

Wes, this was absolutely worth the wait. Thank you.
You can get a boot like that from White's for around $700. I have a pair from White's with double midsoles and leather half slip. I am not a firefighter but I like the style of White's boots so I opted for dress leather but I could have ordered their work leather for no extra charge.
I think we can all agree that we need more garage Science in our lives! Hahaha
Spokane has 2 boot makers.....Nicks and another company called Whites boots. Back in the 80's I tried to get Nicks to build me a pair of boots for my work on the Railroad. I walked in ballast all day and got tired of feeling every rock. I asked nicks to build a boot with double the leather in the sole, double stich, and double screw the Vibram sole onto the boot. The counter guy said I was crazy and a boot built that was would be to stiff and unwearable. So I went to Whites boots where they traced my foot and then built it to my specifications .....almost. 6 weeks after I ordered my custom boots I went to try them on. The guy pulled them from the back and sat down at my feet and slipped them on. I looked down and said boy the Steel Toe sure does not show. I bent over and pushed my finger into my toe. The guy gets a funny look and said "you did not order steel toe boots did you?" He went and looked at the order and low and behold they were to be steel toe boots. He comes back and said he was sorry and he would expedite a new pair and did I want a pair of custom made boots at half price? I told him no as I had to have steel toes for work. (I wish I had bought them for hunting) and in 2 weeks they had my correctly made to order boots ready. My experience is that with Whites is that once broke in they feel like slippers and that makes it worth the price. Just for reference a pair of Whites hi top with steel toe (Smokejumper)was $200 my special order boots were $325. Nicks and Whites are well build and most important Rebuildable!
Cool vid. A little late to suggest but if you do another fire test maybe get a block of silicone. Put a meat probe in it and try and register internal temp changes while burning the boot.
Ok that kicking segment was great. The lookback before kicking the computer had me dying. haha
About time!!!!! My most anticipated RUclips video ever!!!
U should put cheese or something inside boots when u test burn it, so we know if it's protect the foot or just fire resistance only
From a construction workers perspective: when it comes to buying steel toed boots they’re they suck unless you put tough toe on them because once something does fall onto them yea your feet are protected but now your brand new waterproof 300 dollar boots aren’t waterproof anymore because the steel toe and falling object make a hole in the leather. These boots however are so over built on the cap that you may not even need tough toe that’s value. If you spend your money on work boots you want them to at least outlast the sole they come with. If nicks makes a 9” boot to those specs I’ll buy them.
Do a landmine test, see if it protects from getting your foot blown off for military use
I’m 11 weeks into my wait for my Urban Loggers, the anticipation is killing me XD. I’m already contemplating ordering a second pair lol 😂
15:14 super smooth edit
This is exactly why you leave the important stuff to the professionals
This is the only thing that can stop stepping on a lego

Nicks: Ladies and gentlemen, meet the world's most Indestructible boot!
Rose Anvil: Hold my beer!
👍🏽Beautiful! All of it! The boots, the video, the sponsors... magnificent!
Been saving my loot and as soon as this COVID shit is over I’m flying to Washington from Detroit and getting fitted for a pair
Wouldn’t it be easier to send them a plaster mold of your foot or just measurements?
Fascinating....I forwarded your video to all the men in my family. They love these "demo by force" vids.
This was one boot slicing that I couldn't stand to watch. Such beauties!
I think the bigger question is: “Are they comfortable?”
I was thinking the same
Incredibly comfortable
They are custom fit to your feet and fit like a glove. They take about 40-60 hours to break in. After the break in period you will not want to wear any other boots in the woods because nothing will wear as well as custom made boots.
JKboots are better. no break in period
@@sergeykalina4448 I have JKs and Nicks. JKs definitely do have a break in period however it is less severe than nicks but the quality of the leather is higher in nicks from what I’ve seen
I would buy this boot in a heartbeat. It's gorgeous
Hi Cody!! 🙋🏼♀️
Hey Rachel 👋
I'm so glad your channel grew bro
The most strong yet the most beautifull boot ever made!!!
You've blinded me. With science. Poetry in motion.
You blinded ME ...with science!
I liked your video
I wish I had known about Nicks Boots 20 years ago
As I worked construction and had to have Safety Toe
But I also have a LARGE Foot 12 FF
But I also have a tall foot and huge calf muscles
So finding boots that fit and lasted more than 6 months was a problem
I’m not going to lie. It brings me so much joy seeing harbor freight products
geez, well. I wonder how the fairly "normal" 600 dollar boots hold up or compare. They seem worth the money at this point
15:13 that is the moment when Rose Anvil became youtube music channel!
That tall boot looks so good on you!!
Nice demonstration of the superior build of the Nicks boot. The whole bullet segment was overkill.
I'm not even into boots like that. Why did I watch a 20 minute video of an indestructible boot lol. Impressive craftsmanship!
The bullet portion is useless when you've lowered the integrity of the boot beforehand
It hurt watching you cut those in half. I was honestly happy when you said your bandsaw couldn't handle it, and then heartbroken all over again when you made a different youtuber do it for you :(
It’s only the brass part of the bullet that fires so why is the whole cartridge in the shoe
*goes to dentist 😂
This video is very interesting to me because, (without knowing about this video), I called Nick's a few months ago asking about an over the calf, leather, lace-up boot. They wouldn't make it for me. SO, I hope you are successful in convincing them to make a line of these boots!! I want an over the calf, leather, lace-up, work boot that I can tuck my pant legs into for working on the ranch. A boot like I just described was being made in the 1800's and early 1900's, but not any longer......
I personally have gone through 2 Redwings ($375 per pair) 4 Danners ($250 per pair) 2 Georgia's ($200 per pair) and a few Justin's ($150+ per pair) while welding and none of them have held up for more than 18months all from leather failure. Not the sole getting worn down.. either the stitches blowout and the leather can't be saved or the insole rips or I even have a pair where on my heel the leather got a small cut and just ripped horizontally. I'm very hard on boots. Not sure if Whites are the way to go but these look like legit contenders for toughest boots. I would pay $1,000 once if these lasted 5+ years.
I find it very ironic that the random channels I subscribe to end up collabing with each other at some point in time. I must have good taste.
Im sure the RUclips's algorithm has a big hand in making sure you see all these "Random" channels.
No that's not what I'm saying. I'm subscribed to both Rose Anvil and the waterjet Channel. And this happens with many of the other channels that I'm subscribed to that they end up working with each other
Imagine putting your passion into a project that you’re proud of and someone cuts it up into pieces 😂
They made this shoes specially to tear it apart.
that what in this channel specialised for...
That water saw is crazy!
I just went on RUclips to look for good boots and now im binge watching destruction 😂
These shoes will come in real handy if you're getting shot at by pistols and are in a burning building
By pistols , of course...if they wanted to only shoot your legs.
Plates rolling by
Nick's boots: so you have chosen death
It would be cool to see you do the same thing to some White boots and the JK boots!!
Nicks, indestructible and indisputably the best boots !!
I LOCE TGE LOOK OF THE BOOT!!! It looks like a fantasy boot.
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...
Those prototype boots would have a market in the more dangerous trades such as lumberjack, welder, demolitions explosives, smoke jumper, snake handler among others.
These are based on boots made for those trades. Except the production boots are actually practical.
*straps on indestructible boots*
"Honey, could you bring out the fine china?"
I'd love to see you do a pair of Canada West boots. As a Canadian, in the market for some "lifetime" boots finally; I'm curious how they stack up to Nicks.
