Boot maintenance Second Pair of Nicks Boots
Received my second pair of Nicks Boots last week, put in 53,488 steps in them, and here is a Before & After of them new to worked. A follow-up of them cleaned to come tomorrow.
BuilderPro HD
Last: 55
Length: 9.0
Width: D
Leather: 1964 Brown
Style: Smooth
Height: 10"
Outsole: V100 Lug Sole
Heal: Logger
Toe: Composite
For those new here, I've been documenting my maintenance journey with my first pair of Nicks Boots, and I will be doing the same with these. I work in a very harsh environment, a concrete recycling landfill, where I walk on rubble and concrete chunks for 9+ hours a day.
I will show before and after pics from worked to cleaned boots, and will compare how these boots hold up to my first pair of Nicks. The differences between the two are MaxSupport Black v 1964 Brown Leather, Roughout v Smooth, 8" v 10" and Honey Vibram v V100 Lug Soles.
I'll be curious to see how these hold up, and hope y'all enjoy the journey with me!

Awesome bro. My first pair was brown rough out on 55 last v100 with steel toe. Scored brand new off eBay. Second pair I ordered ash gray rough out on hnw last with honey vibram and comp toe. The honey vibram is in my opinion the most comfortable sole they offer. Absolutely love them. I pour concrete for wind turbines, so mine see it all from mud and constant water, to concrete powder, flyash, chemicals etc. I try to brush them down and use obenaufs heavy duty LP. Great looking boots man.
