Are these boots made in America?

Might there be solvants to help loosen the glue ? The solvents can be unpleasant stuff, i know . You'd soak the boots first for a week or two and maybe air them several days before dismantling em .
Co2 is a good solvent in liquid phase . Easy to remember that you can have it liquid at -20 c° and 20 bar pressure . A bar is almost one atmosphere ( 14•7psi) . Of course the co2 source is your readily available dry ice. - from memory 28 bar is required at -10 ° C and 15 bar at -30° . Needs a suitable pressure vessel , I've said enough .
A kid at my school wears these everyday, didn’t know how hard I was being flexed on
Why does a kid need a pair of $500 boots?
beef nacos good question
@@beefnacos6258 Likely because they are good at saving money, or they get a lot of money
These boots will last forever. So technically, he's saving money. 4-5 pairs of basic kicks. Fall apart pretty quickly if they are made in China. I'll take 1 pair of these instead.
His teachers know they're being flexed on
I do absolutely nothing that could warrant me needing a boot like this, yet I want a pair just knowing how well built they are
Go for it! They make casual boots as well
Yeah they have "lifestyle" boots too. That way you can get the amazing quality without feeling like a poser
Yeah these are an amazing work of art also

@@omega792 I'd rather carry around $500 worth of nails to show to people, if that's so impressive, than to have to walk on them all day.
I had a pair of these when I worked at a papermill. The owners bought everyone a pair for x-mas ( you had to be there for at least 10 years to get them) they lasted for about 3 yrs. I loved them so much! The most comfortable work boot ever! Mine finally started falling apart due to all the chemicals that I had to stand in. A pair of Dr.Martins steel toe boots usually lasted about 7 months if you where lucky, so that oughta give you an idea on how tough these boots are.
Well hopefully you didnt just toss them because these boots are resoleable and rebuildable. You could have sent then your boots and basically had a brand new pair for about 200 bucks!

Both formats are great, however this lacks Toaster sitting on things.
Agreed. I missed Toaster!
Imagine toaster’s little paws coming into the shot to try and help tear the boot apart. 😭

A young man started working with my shipping crew a few years ago. His grandfather bought and brought him,to work, these boots and and a good pair of socks. This was his first job. The guys laughed and made a little fun of them. That is until he had them broke in. They were going through Nikes like water through a sifter and his back didn’t hurt.
Why would they make fun of him for wearing good shoes when they were wearing Nikes lol
@@quax2765 Because people nowadays have a high tendency to make fun of everything that isn't considered "normal".
Btw, this is just my personal observation of my own experiences.
I think it was more likely they were making fun of the fact that his grandpa thought bringing him the boots at work was the way to do that.

People in quarantine: Hmmm interesting
It's an upgrade from dissecting a grape, I would say
It is intresting
Nah I’m just weird
It's not even 3:00 a.m. and here i am
U.S. made, quality construction made and here is the proof. Quality, not a poor quality China made, that don't fit or last.
Right boot : voice-over tear down like this
Left boot : cut in half if possible, this looks pretty intense for your saw blade.
Two different perspective that we can appreciate. No shoes goes to waste.
I feel dirty, having watched such a beautiful boot be desecrated like this.
I agree
After watching this, I can't imagine anyone begrudging Nicks for the price of their boots. That boot is an impressive bit of construction!
I used to be the guy who bought his tennis shoes out of the discount rack, I couldn't understand paying all that money for a pair of shoes.
Then I bought a pair of Redwing truhicker safety toe boots for commercial driving since I would be in and out of warehouses.
even though those are considered cheap boots, they are still better then any other tennis shoe I have ever worn, and they have lasted longer. I know understand that to get good foot wear, you just have to pay for them. I hope to buy a even better pair when I wear these out (the soles are not replaceable, they are also made in china IIRC) I bought these in 2016 and looking at them, I think I have a couple more years in them, I don't think I have ever had a pair of Nike or the like last me more then half a year.
@donkey ass reviews and do's can you give us an example of what would be acceptable in your country? also can you tell us what country you are from?
@donkey ass reviews and do's You can order them with an approved steel or composite toe protector if you need it, just as you can get them with fire/oil proof soles and flame retardant stitching.
@donkey ass reviews and do's That's mostly just a way to control imports. It doesn't mean you're getting a safer boot than any other country allows. You can order these with steel or composit toe protection and fire resistant soles and stitching. Those would be enough to meet the requirements where needed.
I have a pair of the steel toe contenders. I LOVE these boots. As my first lair of Nick's boots. I'm hooked. Can't wait to order a 2nd pair. And even one of their casual/dress boots.

Definitely liked the voice over and fast forward on the deconstruction. Like to see more of this type video.
tfw a pair of boots are made sturdier than my house.
sturdier than most american houses
Can't argue with how tough these things are.
As a man in his 50's these boots would literally last me the rest of my life.
I'm half that and they'd probably last the rest of mine too.
They would last me maybe 3 years tops. I try to keep them clean but every boot I've owned has become a nasty athletes foot factory by then. Honestly at 3 years I would have got my money's worth out of them for sure.
@wyomarine also airing out your feet daily is important. There are people who wear shoes and shitty plastic slippers from the time they wake up until they go sleep, despite not needing to. That's too much neglect as well.
@@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant
I've had my pair of Nick's for just over 2-1/2 years. I drive a 18 wheel gas/diesel tanker truck. The petroleum products are hard on the soft vibram soles, but the actual boot is holding up like a champ. With good quality wool socks (darn tuff, point6), my boots still have that warm comforting smell of fine leather after a hard day in 98 degree/98% humidity. Can't say that about any of my other footwear. I'm 55 years old and been driving a big truck for over 30 years. My only regret about the purchase of my Nick's Boots is that I didn't do it decades earlier. With the discount offered here, I think I'll buy a second pair in tan leather for everyday, off work use. Once broken in, they are the most comfortable boots I've owned. If you ever decide to pull the trigger on a pair, you won't be disappointed. Period - Full Stop
Saphire Throated Carpenter Ant Yeah come home from work after working 8-12 hours and forget about being tired and everything you got going on in your life and clean your boots everyday lmfaoo.
Honestly I’m impressed that the price is what it is! There’s so much work into one of these boots!
This seems to be a rarity theses days: high-priced footwear whose price is easily justified by the materials, craftsmanship, labor, and customer service. I almost regret having a cushy desk job with no need for a work boot, but then I could always get a pair of Nicks for the fashion appeal. Just opened another side savings account named "Nicks!". $50/month is going into that bad boy...
Wearing something rugged just for fashion, is just as lame as overpriced footwear thats bad quality.
@@04dram04 nah, and he'll be supporting their business.
Get the boots. I will say it's going to be VERY uncomfortable until you can get them broke in. I live in the exact town where Nick's and whites started. You could be looking at months to break them in if you're hardly on your feet. Once they do break in nothing with beat them for comfort not even talking just boots but anything in general.
Do it!!! You won’t regret having a good quality pair. They will literally last your lifetime!
04dram04 That makes no sense. Lmao, k buddy.
I'm really surprised how close some of those nails are to the insole.
I thought that as well. They're called clinch nails, and when they're hammered in against the metal shoe last during the building process, the end of the nail curves back around so it doesn't poke your foot.
Patrick, ever hear that old saying about horse shoes and hand granade’s?
I think one thing that would’ve been good to have a running timer. It would be cool to see how long it takes to break these guys down compared to other boots.
Very old technology, but works! The nails keep the rubber in place, but flexible. I live in Brazil. Whaen i was young, there was no boot factories, so the shoe maker took the size of our feet and make the boot. Leather, rubber, glue and nails.
"Why Are 80+ Nails In This Boot?"
Should've called it the 'Airport Special.'
Yea ive had to wear my fire boots through security before they kinda grumbled mostly at how long it took for me to get them off but I lost my gear and only hand my fire line stuff and I was bound to get home quickly so i went in my greens a tee shirt and my fire boots
Did they make you turn in your boots? Did you loose them to the airport?
@@elijahglinski9910 no way they can take your boots away. They X ray them, and if they are still very suspicious they might give them a more thorough check, but they are giving the boots back in their normal condition. Unless you are in a very corrupt country
A TSA nightmare
I think you have nailed the format. Voice over while you worked on the boot made it easy to enjoy.
hey, this is nice. 2 formats! you should do both!
the cut in half is for those who want a fast format and look what's really inside.
and the dissected version should talk more about the details and in-depth review.
I got about 3 years out of mine and by the end the nails were going into my feet. That little piece of leather on the inside always falls out if the boots get wet frequently. Also need to be oiled during the winter or the toes will dry and curl. Still the most solid boot I have ever owned.
Who else thinks he should rip apart a pair of yeezys and see if their really worth the 220???
@@joeybaseball7352 i mean I agree you pay for the name brand.

@@痢下-z7x Therr are oppurtunities everywhere. People just choose to live in crowded ass areas, and let people rip them off. Its not about oppurtunity. Ita not about ease. Its about greed. You honestly have less oppurtunity is big cities. Way to much competition and greed. Even then if you kand something, the pay is about the same or slighty better than living somewhere less expensive.

You guys havent moved or traveled much. Coming from Cali and being from Poland first.. this is reality.. if you guys wanna get fisted.. by all means continue to do so.
@Adam no! that would be disrespectful 😣
I dont usually watch these types of videos but the time he took to take the boot apart and show us how and why the boot was held together nakes me have a type of admiration 4 him so im gunna upvote this video and subscribe to him
Really liked this format. Good edit job too. Gives you a chance to put your thoughts together. Love your videos and glad you are always looking to improve. You come across as a very humble dude!
Do you recover the money with this videos?? 500 dollars is a lot. Can you do a video on your firefighter background?? Great content, and the new format is good too for variation!
The current advertising revenue from this video would buy him at least 50 new pairs of those boots.
95% of advertising revenue is generated from the number of adverts watched in the US and western Europe and is paid in $,US
That is why all these scam (10 best and outfit of the day videos are posted).
The vast majority if them are uploaded in India, where a dollar is worth a lot of rupees. This is the reason for all the spelling and grammar errors, along with the robot voice.
Videos are also stolen from members no longer active on You-Tube.
Few people realize that just to watch the videos uploaded in any 24 hour period would take you 325 years.
It is a huge scam and the bubble will have to burst soon.
Well, they also sent him these haha
@@wilsjane oh cool. Now I'm just left hoping that there's a place that can use the raw materials, however shredded they may be, and that these dissected pieces aren't just gonna be laying in a landfill.

I wish I had video like this when I was taking shoe construction classes in college. This is amazingly informative. Making stacked heels, and hand nailed shoes is super tedious! I do not miss those semesters of stretching leather over a last.
Nailed this vid! Like the voice over.
i see what you did there
Ahahah good one
Since I was a kid I've been intrigued by the idea of shoes being assembled with nails -- most often seen in cartoons of fairy tales and the like depicting cobblers. I thought it was because shoes used to be made out of wood, and how surprised I was as an adult to see actual leather shoes being held with nails!
What still amazes me is where I see some nails and how long some are in videos online. It's just eye-opening how much material there is in well-made shoes.
I appreciate the style of this video, but I also love your usual way of doing it. I guess I prefer whatever is the most convenient for the topic.
Video: why are there 80 nails in these boots
Millions of people: InTeREstING
I so love the look of these boots, being someone that spends anything up to 18 hours on my feet a day on concrete, grass, and mud on shows these look amazing, by the time I do the conversion they are $814 new Zealand dollars, hahaha . so I am going to start a piggy bank and every time I get the urge to buy a shitty pair of sneakers ill trash in 6 months il save the cash. Its great your videos are the best actual technical reviews, not just some influencer getting paid to promote products, thanks again.
What kind of work do you do? 18 hours, that's insane
@@custodiaforrest4144 Probably some kind of event stage builder or something. I worked a small festival picking trash once, it was 14 hours of straight work.
@donkey ass reviews and do's why you gotta be like that man? The guy specifically mentions "shows".
Custodia Forrest it’s called a real job 😂😂😂
Belie Dat it’s called bullshit. Nobody works on their feet for 18 hours a day
I got a pair of Wesco's for long distance motorcycle riding. They're in the $500 price range. Haven't hear of Nick's but I'll check them out. Cool to see a boot, similarly constructed, dissected.
Holy cow. There’s literally like 4 whole quality boots you could make out of this single boot. That pricetag and discount is an undervalue!
I own 2 pairs of Nicks Hotshot fire boots and even though these Builder Pros are a slightly different (non-fire) version, its sick to see how these break down into parts! Thanks for making this vid :)
"take it to your local cobbler" 😂 I didn't know we had those still ....
He's a cobbler.
Thanks for the discount code! Just submitted my measurements last night. I ordered rangers in chocolate roughout upper and lower.
I think you do an awesome job on telling people of how it's built and made and your thoughts about the book you're very thorough which I like a lot and you're honest and you talk really well about the boot and the company I'm just impressed thank you for doing a good job
I'm so badass, I walk on nails
Loved the voice-over style for this video, the boot seemed so solid that for you to deconstruct and talk at the same time would take forever! Class content
I want a wallet out of these!! I did like the vid but honestly like the other style it just feels more interactive.
This, I think, just adds to the breakdown ,offering different viewpoints on the construction.I'd love to see a video more about yourself,I've heard you mention some of the other things you've done like firefighting and would love to hear your story. All the best !
Seriously, your voice is one of the most relaxing voices I've had the pleasure of listening to. I greatly enjoyed this style of video, but I also dig your other style. A healthy mix of both would be fantastic. That Toaster, man, he's a cantankerous one off camera judging by the state of your hands! Lol ah, to own a cat... I miss it. Cheers to you and your continued success, Weston!
Find James hoffman... Insanely relaxing videos about coffee... Soothing af voice too!
I love this format. It makes the video feel a lot more professional and informative.
Love my Nicks, 2 years old, hundreds of work hours, and still looks brand new
When i was young i was broke all the time, the cheapest boots you could buy , were polish army boots, they had tendency for driving nails into my heel when the sole was worn.
Also if you bought your size ones
After couple of weeks they would stretch a a size up
You should do a dissection of a DC Shoe some time... I've worn the same DC 'Graffik' shoe for 16years, and only recently it started wearing out.. It's a shoe that I'm highly impressed with, and I bought myself another identical pair about a month ago.. Would be interested in seeing your opinion
Your voice over is a welcomed addition to the boot deconstruction. It's relaxing and comfortable to listen to with the exceptional quality of the video! Good job!
Toasters been ripping u to shreds 😩😂
I really like the voice over 👍 added a lot to the video in my opinion as someone who normally doesn’t watch this stuff.
I’ve never seen a handful of Phillips head screws used in such a fashion.
You should see these when you wear them out. They look cool
Very informative. I've never seen their boots completely torn down.
Feels like a more professional format. I’m more likely to believe what I’m learning here but....you lose the personality attributes that we all enjoyed about earlier arrangement.
I loved this video. I loved the dialogue about the boot tear down.
The construction of these is crazy! It's amazing what goes into these and the price is more than fair for this level of quality. So impressive.
This is a nice video format for an in-depth look at complex deconstruction.
Watching this in my 30 year old Army boots, with holes in both toes and the side busted out on one. But man are they broke in and comfortable.
Will there be a breakdown of your hand, featuring toaster. Or has that already happened of camera?
😂😂😂😂
White's and Nick's make the best wildland fire boots out there. These boots are more or less the same as my White's smokejumpers.
When i cant sleep at night, i just put on one of your older videos with headphone and i am out in like five minutes... seriously you should sign a contract with someone and sell this asmr stuff!
Please make more videos like this! The step by step take apart is so nice
Man, in the last video I kept thinking "with a steel toe this would be perfect" and turns out these are customizable, like, damn.
I almost finished the video, then I 💭 thought to myself, why in the hell am I watching this video.
Loved the voiceover. Missed the cat and seeing a human face from time to time, but awesome video.
Dude I never know how much I love your videos
Would love to try one on. Also great to hear positive comments about stitch down construction. It’s a very effective, efficient and consistent way of boot making - if done correctly.
I liked this type of video for these high end boots. Thought it worked well. Really gives you a good perspective on how much craftsmanship goes into making them. Funny though that you’re walking on a bed of nails though!
would like to see dissection on worn boots instead of brand new ones, and would be nice to see review on how the construction translates to wear experience (comfort, etc) thank you!
Interesting vid! I recently just purchased some whites smoke jumpers on fb in near mint condition for $80. I understand thats the 2 major competing ones nicks or whites. Some like ford some like chevy sort of thing, as i understand?! Will you be doing a tear down on the whites as well?!
I understand that Whites is now owned by a Japanese company and supposedly the quality has dropped a bit while the price remains high. 80 bucks though you couldn't go wrong as long as they are legit.
The VO was great. Definitely like this style of video (though in addition to your other vids, not as a replacement for them).
I'm curious about that curved cutting tool you always use. Does it have a specific name?
I would have never in a million years thought taking a boot apart would be so fascinating. Yet here I am.
I can see metal detectors and X-ray machines at the airport getting triggered and alarms going off everywhere and the TSA officers be like "Yeah, some dude wore his Nicks through airport security.... it's okay, happens every time" :D
aleksitanninen I’ve worn my in Japan where you’re not required to take your shoes off and many smaller airports only have medal detectors for security....yep...get sent back and are the only guy putting your footwear through the X-ray machine.
Another great video, that’s heavy duty construction. Well done Nicks.
I just discovered your channel and have been binging your vids! (They’re SO good) If you haven’t already, can you do a “best boot at different price points” vid?
I don’t know anything about boots or understand what this guy was talking about at all but I still liked this vid
now take it to a cobbler and ask him to fix the "wear and tear" on those boots
This boot ain't going to tear itself
After watching your video I ordered a pair and I've been obsessing over their boots! Thank you for doing this!
I enjoy your other format videos more. Seeing your face and hands while you explain things helps me better understand what you’re talking about. Maybe you could do a combination of these formats, plus I miss the boots getting cut in half, it’s kind of your trademark and really sets your videos apart.
I found this video while extremely drunk. Still am. Dont know a thing about shoes, nor do I care about them.
However i am continuing to watch all of this because your explaining everything very well, to the degree that I now feel like an an expert on the subjecteven tho im obviouslly not.
Thank you random boot disassembly guy, I enjoyed your video and commentary_.
“When I was a firefighter” he flexin
Suggestion for format:
take the introduction and summary from your other format, and this voice over format for the actual dissection.
I think this pure VO format will connect less with your audience, but it does offer more depth and detail, so take the best of both worlds.
@roseanvile hey I clicked to watch you take apart a boot but learned something new today and I enjoyed the explanation of the video. Keep up content. Subbed.
We gathered here today by the grace of RUclips Recommendations. May we all watch in curiosity. Amen.
When I was an ortho shoe maker, we made a work shoe/ boot for a concrete worker. What you have there for the most part is what we did for him. Note the old fashion way of making the heal stack is to glue the layers and beat the thickness to maybe 60% of the original thickness. The leather shank would cover a metal shank as well. A long leather counter to cover the whole back half of the shoe.
Great video, thank you for showing us everything that went into this boot.
It’s kinda sad to see you tear such a fantastic boot apart. This is really interesting.
Are these custom or a stock boot. If I remember correct, if you order custom you make the measurements of your foot, sent them in, he makes a last of your foot, and then makes you a sample of the boot you want and sends you the sample to try on. This is the unfinished boot and if it fits ok you send it back and he builds your boot.
I accidently clicked on this video not knowing who you are and I thought you were a meme channel making torture boots or something from the thumbnail
Great review as always!
This video is of a quality I didn't expect when clicking on a man taking apart a boot. The commentary is super interesting and everything is so satisfying!
A very nice well made boot right there.
87 nails later... come on just 13 more........ lemme see em.
@Rose Anvil That was great! The information you gave during the video was the perfect amount. I’d even watch a live stream of you dissecting a work boot. Is there any way possible to review a Wildland fire boot from franks boots? I’d like to see how well or not they are made.
I feel like you need an on camera intro to launch into these. Opening was a little abrupt
Also, Nicks is giving free at home fittings for quarantine. With your 10% off, that's basically $100 off the boots right now.
4 months into quarantine: boot dissection. This is pretty neat.
DAMN I could give these boots to my grandchildren and the price IMO is kind of low.
