The fact that there are still people working like this in American-for some reason-gives me hope for the future.
That’s surprising too because I work in the trades and see guys busting it everyday. But seeing craftsmen and craftswomen making high quality products does my heart good.
My grandfather made shoes. He catered to making orthopedic shoes.
Crazy story was the time someone lent the store a machine to see the bones in your feet with X-rays as live image, see toes wiggle. That was quickly stopped when the realization of the amount of radiation being radiated all around and the company took the device back.
working like this in American huh
personally if a product just as good for the dollar comes along I would buy it instead.
yes indeed.

To All you Quality Boot makers out there. THANK YOU From the bottom of my Heart.
Missed opportunity to say "bottom of your soul."

Very few companies operate like this nowadays using handcrafted talent and quality materials. Never heard of this company before but I'm a fan now. Good stuff!
The worst thing is when they get overhyped and end up like doc martens where the older shoes are much better and costed the same, maybe even less than the modern crap ones.
@@4m4n40 yeah, doc marten used to be really cheap back in the day, used for factory work, i think there is still a company making something similar, but i can't find them anywhere, i only ever see them in small tool supply shops but there a lot heavier and sturdier then even the old doc marten
Diğer ayakkabılar uzaydan mı geliyor hepsi aynı üretiliyor amk😂
These are such fantastically well made boots. The extent of craftsmanship is mind boggling.
I was introduced to these boots when I began Wildland Fire Fighting. Nick's and Whites were the only boots to survive the job. Incredible craftsmanship and customization.
they'd BETTER fking survive for $550!!!
@@JohnRohoboth they only survive for about 6 months.
@@dewmontain123 you must be thinking of red wings or timberland boots only lasting 6 months.
@@kelliegrase4658no, in harsh environments they're still going to wear out pretty quick. General labor you'd likey get longer life out of them than most boots up to a few hundred dollars. But put them in heavy construction, deep well drilling jobs, any place they're exposed to abrasion, heavy moisture or chemicals and they're going to break down and fail the same as any other boot. Myself and a lot of guys I know don't shell out big bucks on boots when we know we'll be working in environments with those elements (even if only occasionally) and go for something mid range to get decently constructed and comfortable, but leaves more money on the table for the inevitable replacement. It's a value over performance case. Point of diminishing returns and all that.
Honestly what really impressed me was seeing younger craftsman making these boots. I know these are great boots and I’m glad this craft is being handled by these obviously well trained people.
@@repentandbelieveinjesuschr9495 he is a prophet .
buying those boots you save young Americans from starvation
@@c.g.c2067 why can’t younger American get some higher paid job?
@@user-vw6mu8gt6c because of China
@@TobiasRieperGood i see or maybe China is a big part of the issue.
I'm stunned at the amount of work that goes into making these boots.
Truly shocking!
More modern boots have more efficient materials and processes, but it is still labor intensive.
@Jac KWow, what an absolutely inappropriate comment. I'm guessing your having a horrible Saturday and just venting.
dont worry, they're only $600USD ea :)
I'm stunned at the amount of fasteners that goes into making these boots. I swear there's at least a pound of assorted nails and screws in a pair :D
@@Pow3llMorgan AFUCKINGMEN DUDE!
After watching this video, I will never complain about paying over $100 for a pair of work boots. For some reason I thought these boots were made mostly by machines, I am glad that we still have skilled people who are making products like this. Thank you 👍👍
These are usually over 500. I thought my 350 work boots were expensive, also made in the US, but the quality isnt as good.
100 USD don't even buy you a pair of wellington boots made in China.
The one you have watched is a 600usd boot. Your $100 boot is definitely made in a factory in china. Which is fine i wouldn't pay this much for a boot since i don't really need it anyway.
Value. How many pairs of uncomfortable and unreliable "boots" do you have too throw hundies @, before it sinks in. Had a pair of Danners over half my life. 3 resoles later, and now looking for quality and comfort. 😎🤙
Paying less than 100€/$ for a pair of shoes is a hate crime against your own feet ... so yeah ...
I ended up here looking for 100% American made work boots. What I have found is just that. I saved your website in my notepad for if and when I can save enough money for a pair. Thanks for conserving and maintaining true American craftsmanship that has all but disappeared. Love the boots brother.
This is some awesome vids, I myself had worked in a shoe repair shop and I believe these are some good well-made though boots, I had repaired some soles, heels, welts, did some foxing, and did a lot of restitching restoring work boots and other shoes. I loved that job but now I found a new trade as being a lumber jack. I don't mind wearing one of these work boots for my type of work now. keep up the good work and keep them new vids coming, I love it!!!
Fantastic work from start to finish, appreciate all the hard work to everyone
the amount of work on a single boot. makes you trust the boot
Repetition leads to efficiency, But the skill and dedication your employee's demonstrate in the building of your product offering is incredible and is nothing short of an art form. They represent what is great in the true American craftsmen's that are left in this country!
it also make craftsman perfect something. you pretty good by number 1000
What I like most is you don’t hear a bunch of people just conversing n the background it’s all about work no BS
The whole process is so fascinating!!! I was completely transfixed. To "blue hair and awesome nails": your work was seamless! 😉!
If her work was actually seamless I think she’d be fired ;)😂😂
Boss: Would you mind being on camera in the video?
Blue Hair Gal: I need to get my nails done.
Tremendo trabajo, con razón tienen esos precios, por el material y mano de obra increíble, los felicito por embellecer nuestro andar. Gracias.
Qué precios tienen,?? Y perdona bro!
Thank you for this video. I was losing hope on American made. Amazing!
Fantastic craftsmanship. No other words are needed.
A quality hand made boot. You can see the pride taken by each and every person making this footwear. Well done.
Most of the process is done by machines, did you even watch the video?
Every boot in the world is handmade boot, if you consider this as handmade
This is not a hand made boot. There is no company that make handmade boots. Maybe a slipper yea.. But if you use a machine to cut, drill, stitch that isnt hand made. The Video pretty much the same as other shoes maker.
@@toytulog576 what about , if you make the tool that you use on the job, is that then handmade
@@customcutters there is a difference on what your saying. You can just watch the entire video and most 80% is pretty much machine doing the work.
@@toytulog576 i make tattoos on people but i use a machine to do it, are they not hand made tattoos?
Great video, that will boots the sales !
Excelente trabajo...vale el honor andar en un par de botas hechas por esta gente 🤤
I would personally like to say, "THANK YOU!" to all of your employees. As someone who wears Nicks daily I wish that it was possible to explain the difference between a handmade custom fitted boot vs a really good production boot but it's not. Only way to understand the difference is to buy a pair.
Yeah but $500 for a pair of boots is a bit much for a lot of folks. Obviously they have a good customer base but they're currently out of my price range.
@@jamesnm21 I understand. My advice to those in this situation would be to set aside a little at a time until you've got what you need.
Unfortunately, that’s a concept that’s lost on a lot of people…. Lol
@@japlunkett6789 depends on your feet as well. Some people fit well in mass produced footwear. I'm a 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe and can usually find something comfortable and affordable. Others like my brother, a size 12, has more trouble. I've had some cheap boots for sure that fell apart within months without even everyday use. Sometimes I shoe goo them and get a few years of part time use. I have about 5 pairs of shoes/boots I rotate depending on my needs for the day. Right now I'm in Hilfiger deck shoes from Burlington coat factory. Great for hot weather when you're working indoors or doing light outdoor work. The soles are too thin for anything more serious. I have some steel toe Scetchers for heavier duty stuff plus a few pairs of work boots for the really brutal stuff. In the winter I often wear insulated rubber muck boots that are easy to slide off when going in and out and unbeatable waterproof protection.
@@lancelenoir2875 I don't think you do understand. A little money each week that adds up to $500, is still the same amount you have to justify spending on a pair of boots.
Suggestion: would be awesome to have at least leather selection, boot type and last in the video description, would make it easier to decide what boot you want if you could watch through the videos and know what exactly the boot is.
Agreed - these boots look great and I’d love to know what spec they are. Only clue I found was the HNW last at 16:43
Yes yes yes this exactly
What would be really nice if on the Nick‘s website there was a way to pick out what you want and look at what the boot will look like even if it is not a real picture and it’s just like a Animated picture it will still be great because I’ve changed my options on my boot 4 to 5 times now since I’ve ordered it just because I’ve watched videos and wanted to change my options.
I'm glad someone else asked this question. I would also like to know what model boot they are and what the materials are. Just put captions in the video for what they're made of and the model number. No one has to talk. Probably sell more boots.
do yall have any other store locations outside of spokane or is that the only one?
This is something I could do all day after learning the sequence of work
Ive always loved my Danners because they say handmade in the USA but wow, no BS, next time I buy a new set of work boots I'm definitely going to contact you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Chippewa Brand also notable!-
Such wonderful boots. I could watch this video all day. I can see why the lady on the sewing machine has green nail polish, it's so she can see where her fingers end and doesn't sew them to the boots. ingenious .
Awesome. I appreciate the intricacies, the precision, speed and attention to detail we mortals can only imagine. Bravo!!
Again; great boot build. The only thing I would add is a layer of crepe or bloom in between leather mild sole and hard out sole. I work standing on concrete and have feet issues.
That was a complete random youtube recommendation for me, but I have to say this is mesmerizing.
Thanks to the whole team skilled and competent of what they are doing.I like the hand work. Thanks once more
I think after getting the double layered leather done with a pair of boots, me and my fingers will be done for the day. Never knew so much labor intensive work is involved.
Nick makes some damn fine boots!
All these young people so keen to detail is fascinating.they have been taught well.there is hope yet for our country.i'll be telling our kids about your products.several wear boots in varying condition.a detailed top notch video.Thank You.

It's going to take a hell of a lot more than just making boots to get your country out of the shit its in... By the way, the workers in that factory are all exploited and they get paid a pittance for their skills!

It would be interesting to see how much a pair of boots cost an early 1900's logger based on wages of the day.
Please someone do this. I would watch and share this video right now if it was a think. That was a genius comment.
The loggers that ran down the Penobscot River here in Maine got their boots for when they signed up for the job, and they paid them off after a week of trips down the river. Most of the loggers in those times no matter where they were got most of their supplies from the company stores and slowly worked them off. And in case you're curious, the $545 boots shown in this video, would have cost about $15 in 1900. Loggers in 1900 worked up to 18 hour days, up to 60 hours weekly. And they took home a monthly salary of about $75 for your mid level worker. These boots would have been the equivalent of feeding a family of 10 for two weeks.
@@JLawL 521 USD = 15 USD in 1900. The boots are almost exactly the same price with inflation.
@@vinceoliross they want to make you believe that
@@musiclovers-rq7ll only it’s easily proven, you know. With math. And the part you are lacking…common sense.
Bellissimo lavoro di artigianato. L'unica critica che posso fare è che la cucitura fatta senza il canale in pianta di riferimento tende a consumarsi e quindi a rompersi. Questo non credo che vada a pregiudicare la tenuta con la scarpa visto che ci sono tutti i punti che sono posti fra i vari spazzi del battistrada e questo senza contare le viti che sono state inserite nel finale. In ogni caso davvero un ottimo lavoro.
That's some nice looking leather. Awesome watching it go together like this.
Que belo trabalho, os profissionais todos tem uma abilidades perfeitas, parabéns para toda essa equipe maravilhosa, meu pé e 42 ,eu aceitaria um sapato desse de presente 🎁 rsrs,brincadeira a parte proficionalismo acima de tudo, forte abraço !!!

Amazing! Young people, professionals, accurate and excellent quality. Lot applauds.
Ordered mine I can’t wait for them to get delivered
It's been a long time since I had a pair of boots with the leather laces makes a big difference
Green nails takes it to lvl 10 skill! Amazing, I’ll need to save up for a pair.
Fantastic boots! Just gave a 25 yr old pr of Nick's corked loggers to a young friend, still in excellent shape after all this time. I logged and firewooded for yrs in them.
Thanks for sharing!
🌈🏳🌈 They really are cute! 🏳🌈🌈
@@Kevin-mp5of You can actually wash boots, most smart people know that and take care of their quality footwear by washing the insides. You've obviously never been in the military where they issue used cold weather boots.
Your boots may be nasty and stinky, none of mine are.
It's looks very tough shoes and handcrafted is super... Thanks for sharing 🙂
wait so at which point is the size of the shoe determined? when he cuts the leather out in the beginning or when he starts nailing the shoe
The skills displayed just bowled me over. Incredibly amazing!!
Those shoes, made in UStates...$3000...$6000 if you want both
Very Impressive Operation. It’s really Clear how Much Quality goes into every pair of Boots. Congratulations on a Very Fine Job. 👍
It's also clear as to how many freaking nails and screws you got facing up in those.....
@@cjcourter1477 This process and materials used in this boot are not well outdated

One day, Nick and crew, one day. I'm about to move from Seattle down to Waco, so headed the wrong direction, I suppose, but I'll fly back up and come see you soon. There is no substitute for American hand-made, and yall set the bar. It's comforting to know you're there doing what you're doing, when most of the world is racing to the bottom. One day soon. See you then.

These are such skilled craftspeople. There's no hesitation or worry about messing something up, they just do their part of the construction like it's no big deal. It looks like a pretty diverse group too.
i never get tired of these videos. love them. one thing maybe i would do a little different, nothing structural, pure esthetics. the sole stitching, i would continue it another 1/2" so its under the heel base. i think it would be more of a finished look. just a thought. keep up the good work.
I believe it is because the welt narrowing when reaching the heel, the machine cannot go further.
@@macadam678 no that’s not it, there is no welt just the mid sole
You are very good. Don't know how to use good words, good ideas to give you to express your talent, ingenuity, thoroughness, too small details that you have done so easily....Very admirable.. .!!! GREAT.
I can't wait to order mine!
The woman with the long nails makes me think about that quote, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.

Makes me think about why we have safety regulations, and how many Nicks boots is violating every day.
@@madslashers2002That’s an interesting assertion and I question what it’s based on. I’m in the unusual position of having once been a workers compensation lawyer, and then I switched careers back to carpentry. I see dangerous machines in these videos, but the workers appear to me to manage those risks pretty well. Nothing here looks out of line compared to what I see on job sites and carpentry shops.
@@twestgard2 I didn’t make a single assertion. Not one.
i'm glad i stumbled upon this video. i just checked out their site and their boots are amazing! both in quality and design.
Wow, the level of craftsmanship here is insane. You rarely see this kind of thing nowadays. Really inspiring stuff!
No, the level of craftsmanship is not 'insane'. The shoemaker apprenticeship isn't as hard as you might think it is. What it is, is hard work. It is exhausting and demanding.
@@dxb8086 thats not even What im talking about, but they’re obviously some very talented and experienced craftsmen, but I was referring more to not cutting corners with how the leather is layered and cut, with a stacked leather heel and all those old-school real cobbler craftsmanship techniques.
@@dxb8086 Love it. I've also started picking up on sloppy use of 'insane' such that it means nothing and has knock on impacts on lives of people who have mental health and information processing difficulties.
Where so you source your tools from? Hammers etc.?
Well constructed boots! 45 years ago I was a construction electrician in Florida. Walking on everything from a to z would tear up the soles and leather sides of boots, especially rebar. Believe it or not, I found that pigskin boots made by Hush Puppy at the time we're the toughest and held up great including the soles!
Outstanding!
Something to really feel good about doing, the craftsmanship is evident and the price tag is small compared to the value that is engineered into a pair of Nick's!
Well done everybody, thanks for the great show, aloha from the great lakes ( I cant wait till I can afford a pair)
Overpriced. They don't last any longer than any other boot. These boots are made for liberal wannabees.

I like boots . Fascinating to see the craft that goes into making them. Thanks a lot.
Hi dear
I am not familiar with this particular brand. I was always a Red Wing, Timberland kinda guy. However, after seeing how it’s made I am convinced to try Nicks Boots out. With that said, I was wondering what model was that made in the video.
Looking at website I believe this one is called the Howard. Runs $550
I actually believe its the Overlander. The Howard is shorter (6"), has no Loop at the back and a different "rim" or whatever you might call it. COuld be wrong, but owning a pair of Overlanders I cant find any differences.
I really love those robust machines. I just love them.
Can't wait to try this at home
i just ordered some overlanders yesterday, will be my 2nd pair of nicks, ive been binge watching all these videos in excitement lol
Love my Overlanders, they’re the perfect boot. Rugged enough for work but still great for hiking. I just wish I got mine in cinnamon waxed flesh or some other rough out.
@@wecanjump7512 same, I got mine in 1964 leather. I polished the hell out of them, everyone wants a pair when I wear them.
I just had my Overlanders delivered 3 weeks ago. Already fitting like a glove. You will LOVE THEM
Would you guys ever highlight or feature your employees that make our boots? Have them say, "Hello," and tell us what they do at Nicks to make the PNW's finest boots!
The girl with green nails is my hero. Fantastic work, you all!
what if i wanted this exact boot,can you tell me which option it is?because the boots on site look very diff
Just wow.
I want a pair.
Excellent work. Excellent video. Thank you
Glad you like them!
That’s painstaking work. Bravo for whoever thought the whole production through. Made in the USA and it shows in the quality.
I 100% agree!
I can't wait to drive to Washington State to get fitted for a pair may not be till next year.
I am not sure how I got here, or why I decided to watch, but the video was oddly satisfying.
@ 10:00 the quality of craftsMANship is mind-blowing!
A really fantastic job congratulations this is a divine gift to build handmade shoes that look beautiful, so well finished and so rare it is hard to find these days!!
Great boots. I enjoy seeing the crafters. Nail girl, leather suspenders, bolo tie and the hatchet man. Would love to see some personal interviews of those folks.
Really interested in nail girl
Right! These are the exact people I would have pictured in a shop hand-crafting artisan boots.🤣
*I say that with all due respect.
I need a pair of these! Working 8n a rail yard eats soles. Used to buy RedWings…but they aren’t what they used to be.
This is like wearing art on your feet!
Nice boots! Interesting welt. Looks like it will last.
Awesome job.
I love the tools and the machines as well.
When I watch these videos, or videos of any highly skilled craftsmen that make awesome shit with their hands i always try and pay attention to what tools they use, Im curious who makes or made the plier-tong/hammer lookin thing they use to stretch the leather around and drive the nails, I love unique but straight to the point, utilitarian, heirloom tools that will get passed down and outlast every modern day marketing gimmick that corporate R&D can conjure up, purely based on function.
Very nice video. I like the simplicity of it.
It does kind of kill me though, to watch the stitching go over the cleats of the sole. I'm sure the boots are still sturdy, but it's a very odd design choice as that stitching will be quickly worn away.
Once the stitching is finished, it will stay in a groove that forms after the stitching, so it won't wear out as quickly.
stiches will still hold fine
@@PaddleDogC5 depends what you use the boots for, we never found a stitched sole boot that would stand up to building site work, cement and rebar rip built up boot soles to bits fast.

How do the get the white plastic looking shoe mold (apologize that I don’t know the proper term) out of the boot?they never show that part
It's called the "last" and it articulates in the middle. Imagine if your foot could bend upwards in the middle.
