Nicks Tactical Boots 6 Month Update 

A fix for your sagging kiltie is to move the holes up to the second hole on your boot lace hole, which would slide them upward and look better imo

Amazing...I have the same pair, down to the Ironlaces, black eyelets and padded leather collar. Been on mine for a year (security guard so on my feet all day) and no major issues (other than finish on the eyelets/hooks). Rose anvil sells kilties with slits in them to prevent that "kiltie creep". Thanks for the tip about the Spenco insoles.

They look great. It also look very similar to the Austrian Paratrooper boots that I will buy.

Thank you for the content. Not many reviews on the Nicks Tactical. Looking forward to the 1 year review. I’ve order a pair in 1964 black. Been waiting about 2 months. Your review definitely helped with the purchase. Thanks again for the info.

I have had my eye on a pair of Nicks boots for quite a while. Glad yours are working out well for you.

Great insight into a boot I have not heard of as well as an honest opinion. I have a pair of Danners that I have had for a few years and I like them a lot for hiking or working in the garage.

Appreciate the update!!!

I think resoling those will also require a new foam layer, cuz the foam will be torn up bad when you pull the rubber off. My advice is to wear them until you actually wear out the tread in the ball area of the foot, don't worry about wearing through the rubber on the heel, or wearing into the foam, it'll stop eventually once the boot matches your gait. I can tell you, it's way harder to resole a boot than you might think. Send them to Nick's or a good cobbler, it's not worth messing with. But if you try it and screw up, you could send it off to be fixed haha

The rubber outsole should def be thicker for that common heel weardown

Thanks for sharing! I’m on the fence. I’ve been using dinner Acadia as my primary LE boot about 5 years now. They’re great, but I can’t help but wonder how much better the nicks are. This helped a lot

i beat the hell out of boots...so i am getting these for sure. I prefer a Tactical style, personally, due to decades of Subculture, so these are IT!

I have the exact same boots & I love them! How long did it take you to completely wear/break your boots in? I’ve been wearing my boots every now and then for about a month of wear or so and these boots are still extremely stiff and difficult to wear for more than an hour or two before I need to take them off. Thanks for the video and information. Cheers 🍻 John

I like them. May work good on the farm. I’ve heard they are comfortable. Man I wish you were closer. I’d have you teach your class how to change a heater core on a dodge nitro. I’m reading it’s a pure nightmare 😢

Great review! How are they looking now? Any chance we can get a 1 year update?

wow , im surprised the sierra wore out that fast. thanks !

As far as sizing , would you say they run 1/2 size or one full size larger than brannock? Thanks

You don’t need to cut the kilties. Both boots you have are doing that (wearing ones and the tactical). Easiest way to fix it is take the lace coming up from the eyelet and bring it across and under the opposing eyelet around the lace coming up from the kiltie then up to the next eyelet. Then lace as normal. When you pull the laces tight it will stop the kiltie from slipping down.

You should never wear boots two days in a row, but give the leather at least one day to rest, with a shoe tree inside for drying. Have at least two pairs and rotate them.
