It's a Sunday morning and the chime goes off alerting us to a new Nick's video ... that means it's gonna be another great day in America! Thanks for sharing your pure artistry!
I think you guys could take these RUclips videos to the next level. One way to accentuate the hand made aspect would be to put in short clips of your workers talking about what they enjoy about their jobs there at Nicks. This would add more personal connections to the boot making process and really solidify the handmade process. Just a thought.
Love your work, everyone. I don't know how you promote, or if you even need to push your products - my apologies if this makes no sense for you, I just saw a possible connection between wholesome hardworking folks. I was just watching a video made by Brent over at Ghost Town Living, he was showing how even "good boots" fall apart while hiking the tramway lines near the mining town he owns in Death Valley. I think he's into pair number 3 now. It occurred to me that he needs a real pair of boots, and could provide a substantial and well documented torture test, in front of an audience that includes a lot of people in your market demo, (including Heavy D Sparks and Co,) . . . along with a substantial viewership on each video he publishes. Thanks for hearing me out. I don't know him, so I can be of no assistance, but he seems like a good guy, and not hard to contact.
*They don't. **9:11** Instead, they use a thin piece of foam and below they add a thick leather shank for arch support. There isn't much of a cavity at all to fill with cork. I suppose you could in theory, you could take these to a cobbler (when a resole is needed at some point), and request cork to me used. But they would need to sand the cork filler down, so that it can be flush with the area you see there in the video. Because if they don't sand the area down, it would make it difficult to add the sole, since it wouldn't be level enough. So what I'm thinking is that, they use the foam since it's easier, quicker, and no sanding needed to make it flush.*
For some of the videos we do not have die cuts for the pattern yet, so we get to do it by hand! When they go into full production however we have the dies for all of them.
I’d imagine that a large part of the start up cost for a new boot line is making the cutting dies for the right shapes and dimensions for multiple sizes. Seems like there’s be lots of trial and error for the min and max size planned done by hand, trimming to fit properly, and then taking the boots apart to get the right sized components. If you had to make new or modified lasts too, then I could see that siting even more and being more difficult. Extra impressive that Nick’s has expanded their line up despite those obstacles instead of just staying comfortable with their older models.
I'm not trying to be an A-hole, just trying to pass along a polite bit of info. Godsmack is a band. I think what you meant to type is, Gobsmacked adjective Flabbergasted, astounded, speechless, overawed. utterly astounded Cheers!

Absolutely beautiful; as a Spokanite it brings me great pride to know that the best boots in the world are made in my home town.
Not only though the best boots are made in Spokane but the absolute best people cuz I was born there 🤣😂
Just ordered my first pair of Nicks today. Got this Chelsea’s boot. It’s beautiful, can’t wait!

Oh to experience a great day in America... Maybe one day.
I have never been a huge fan of the Chelsea boot but these ones look phenomenal.
Proud owner of Nick's boots. For life
As always, beautiful shoes and the picture and sound's amazing! respect from colleagues shoemaking🔨
Really nice boots. Very tempted to buy a pair.
Anyone else notice the DeWalt impact driver with the Milwaukee bit driving the screws? LOL
Yeah I work with it😂

Food for thought, good luck😂
@@jorgeaguilar2722 ok
@@MordecaiAliVanAllenOShea it's not a bad idea. Other companies have done similar things.
Great shirt. KEXP 🤘
Do you guys plan on making any new last? A last similar Alden trubalance last would be amazing
Gorgeous boots!

They are gorgeous! Just a question: don’t you use any cork filler?

Dang, another pair I want.
Just out of curiosity, why are some patterns hand cut when others are pressed out by a machine. Thank you
For some of the videos we do not have die cuts for the pattern yet, so we get to do it by hand! When they go into full production however we have the dies for all of them.
Is that boot in production for Bigfoot? They are huge!
Can I please order a Heritage pair in Wicket and Craig double stuff?
I think I'd have bought a pair of these by now, if they had a captoe.
*You can email them and ask if they can do it 😊!*
What are the exact specs on this boot? Would love to order a pair.
Walnut Roughout HNW Work Lug Chelsea Boots
Love my Nick's chelseas! That Dublin tan is silky smooth! Wanna check them out... I did a box reveal video on my page.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the video! Cant wait for the "Broken In" Update Video.
Nobody does it better...
Are these on the 55 last?
Looks like HNW. Short stack and block heel

ааааа это мой идеал👍👍👍👍👍

Does this boot have a steel toe, or a composite toe? Thanks!
Both are options that the buyer can pick.
@@Totemparadox Thanks, I understand that, but which did we see installed here? Cheers
@@EdAb That looks like a steel toe. Composite toes are white and visibly thicker.
@@Totemparadox Thanks again.
Got a pair of cowboy boots that are just as tough and prob a 10th of the price.
If you build it they will come.
