#2 Nicks Handmade Boots - Custom Robert 10 1/2 - 11D Horween Black Chromexcel
Both Size: Men's US 10.5 - 11D / EU 43-45Packers Color: Horween Brown Waxed Flesh
Roberts Color: Horween Black Chromexcel
Condition: Gently Used
Both $OLD. Thank you!
Gently used with minimal signs of wear. Both boots worn less than half a dozen times and no hard use. New boots Nicks were $600 and Packers were $585
Packers: Height 8” shaft, Last 5332, antique hooks and eyes, pull loop, toe bug, unstructured toe, V bar 700 vibram, brown edge, cuban heel. Custom handmade and custom sizing. To me this feels like the standard 55 last which is popular for good arch support for most types of feet, except it just has a slightly more narrow toe box leaning towards a cowboy boot. But the brown waxed flesh is very pliable and although I have wider toes, I find it extremely comfortable. Right is minimally larger than left as suggested by Nicks according to my foot measurements sent in when originally made. Unfortunately, these are just barely small for me but especially if I want to wear with warmer winter socks. But I like these so much I have actually ordered 2 other Nicks Packers 1/2 size larger and I am selling these. Also, I want to add that I always very very gently sand waxed flesh boots just enough to slightly reduce that waxy shine of new boots. To me, the best part of this type of leather is as the wax starts to break up and patina. Probably some Obenaufs will bring back most of the brand new shine if thats your thing, but then waxed flesh may not be right for you. I think its killer for cowboy boots imho.
Roberts: Height 8” shaft, 55 Last, black cxl 6-7oz, standard top, pull loop, brass hooks and eyes, unstructured toe, 430 mini lug sole, brown edge, cuban heel. Custom handmade and custom sizing. It is the standard 55 last which is popular for good arch support for most types of feet. I find it extremely comfortable. Right is minimally larger than left as suggested by Nicks according to my foot measurements sent in when originally made. Unfortunately, these are just a little too small for me and I have ordered another pair of urban loggers which are the same boot and 1/2 size larger and selling these. Please note: I did treat the outsole threading with some Fiebings brown dye, as I am often not a fan of white stitching on boots and tan or brown thread was not an option on the original build and the sole threading eventually shows dirt stains anyhow.
Both boots are great, custom handmade, 6 months wait if ordering new, and they are very well made. MADE in USA
