What owners say
One commenter singles out Nick's side-zip Chelsea boot, calling it a step above R.M.Williams in quality and noting it can be fully customized, down to requesting a semi-pointed toe last for a dressier look.

I bought my wife a pair of boots from Nicks. They are expensive and they have a break in period... The PNW brands like Nicks, Franks, and whites are top of the line.
Nicks makes a side zip Chelsea that is going to be absolute top quality, a world above RM Williams. You can fully customize it.
Nicks boots are the best. Just got my 2nd pair!
You need a custom Whites, Nicks, Franks, or JK.
Nicks has a beefy Iron Ranger style called the Americana that will outlive you lol
Nick's Boots! if you can stomach the big up-front expense, these will last you many years with care.
went nicks as a move up from solovairs as I want them to last as long as humanly possible with a rebuild available
