- In this video, we give this pair of Nicks Handmade Boots a makeover. A customer mailed these in to us to be refurbished. His request was to switch out the old, worn Vibram rubber soles for leather. After adding the new Baker leather soles, Vibram rubber heels and some finishing touches, these Nicks work boots are ready to go.

I would never send boots in that condtion to any repair shop until i cleaned them
why in the world would somebody want to screw up a nice pair of boots like that with leather soles? i wouldn't make it off my porch before i broke my neck.
Surprising for me that people send such dirty boots for reworking. My conscience would be killing me....
"Nothing bad about that" : - D. Actually it's the absolute top shelf way to build a heavy work boot. Hand stitch down construction is a lot of why a bespoke pair of boots like Nick's makes cost around 600 bucks to have built. Hand stitch down sole construction lasts. There is a reason every logger and wild-land firefighter in the country wears boots made by White's, Nick's, or Wesco heavy boots to work in.
That stache is awesome 😂
As one of your female fans, I admire the artistry that goes into making over a pair of boots. You guys are true artists and I really enjoy your videos. Maybe you could guide us females into the best shoe brands to invest in!❤️
Can you compare/contrast the build quality/robustness of Nicks Boots (as best you can) to the other handmade boot builders? (Whites - Viberg - Wesco & a few others)
I went to work as a boilermaker In the early 70s. After spending a couple of years in uncle Sam’s boots in Southeast Asia. I bought the best boot I could find and it was a red wing. Had them re-soled a couple of times they were the style with the heel. One of the young guys I need a pair of boots he asked for suggestions around lunch. He got several ended up buying a pair of boots nobody paid much attention but two weeks later they were coming apart so he was bitching about that one of the old guy said where do you get those boots. I bought em at Kmart wasn’t about to spend kind of money you spend on Red Wings. One of the old guys said well you know if you think boots are so over priced Take a day off and make your own. We made about 130 or $140 a day in those days. I think he made his point.
I know they are work boots, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to clean them up. By keeping them clean, they will not only look presentable, but they will last longer.
good v good
I recently found this channel by chance and it's just amazing to watch the craftsmanship and the process of how something battered just comes back to life. Sad I can't send my shoes off to Nashville since I live in Japan though... Also the southern accent brings back my memories when I lived in Nashville when I was young!
Wow, someone sent in a pair of Nick's. Now that's a show of trust in a cobbler's skill. Good job guys. Excellent work.
That was a great job done, guys!! I rue the day I got to know a retired Alaskan State Tropper at the morning breakfast hole where i live. He mentioned Nicks and Whites boots to me and now after 3 mths of binge watching boot videos of all kinds, I've ordered 6 pairs from various makers the last 2 mths! Really bad for my wallet! LOL!
I've been hoping you'd get a pair of Nick's Boots in at some point. Most just send them back to Nicks when they need a resole, but they don't offer leather like this. I knew it was the first pair you'd seen when you expected to find a welt. Nick's uses stitch down construction because they feel it gives better resistance to water getting in. These turned out great. If you thought these had a lot of nails, just wait until a pair of their work boots comes in.
Brilliant outcome..you've settled in well...mustache has made a home😉 lovely to watch...more vids pls...quality of work...amazing...stay blessed🙏🇬🇧👍
That mustache is looking strong brother. You looked like you drove a windowless van full of candy in the last video, but it has seriously come into its own. Great video guys!!!
Guys, the craftsmanship and attention to detail that you devote to your work is absolutely next-level.... I know where I'll be sending my vintage Ferragamos!! Best wishes from Ireland
Oooo, the buffing wheel on the edge really makes the look pop. I love the brass tacks too.
New subscriber! The people at Nicks would be very pleased with the modifications and effort put into these. Got my first pair of Nicks 2 years ago and had no idea how much better a custom-built boot actually was.
I really enjoy watching y’all work at your craft. Kind of nice to watch your skills at something normal since we all need shoes even in these crazy times we’re living in today. As soon as I get a pair of quality shoes look forward to sending them in to your shop. Appreciate y’all 👍
