Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

Dude same I got my iron rangers and was like “man I wish these had a leather midsole” and than I learned about nicks Americana. Just another excuse to get another boot down the line.

@kevindoesretired7048 Год назад

After watching most of your videos on boots I've decided to go for a pair of Nicks Heritage Tankers. They will be a casual wear for me since I am retired. This old dude likes easy on! Im in Vancouver Washington so I can drive to Nicks and get a hands on fitting and tour the facility. Thanks Carl for what you do, Ive turned many of my friends your way.

@johnready630 Год назад

Hi Carl , you put me onto Nicks and since then I have purchased the Falcon , urban logger , overlander and the Merriman which should arrive by the end of the year . Those are what I feel is what I need and will wear. I have a bad hip/knee and the support these give me helps dealing with that. I'm 67 so I doubt I'll never wear mine out but fortunately my oldest son wears the same size and perhaps a grandson when they get older 👍

@MegaNobnob Год назад

awesome vid. just ordered heritage tankers for my twin. same size. thanks for all u do patina judge.

@theplatinumking9682 Год назад

Your review puts on to Nicks. I have the Urban Loggers and when you say that once you go high quality you can't go back I feel it. My boots before lasted 3 months, at a year in the Urban Loggers and they look fantastic 👌

@minnybiker4505 Год назад

Great video! I really enjoy your content and friendly approachable demeanor. I'm not in construction, but I have high arch narrow feet and ride motorcycles. Everything available in stores are for wide flat feet. So, I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of White's Smokejumpers, standard black. I've had them 9 years, 1 resole, and one rebuild recently. Before I sent them for rebuild, I ordered a pair of Nick's Builder Pros in a light brown rough out. They are now my favorite, but I occasionally rotate the White's in. Next I will add a pair of Wesco Romeos for a more casual slip on when I don't need the support for riding and don't want to lace them up and down, but still want the arch support and quality.

@YasuOsatoku Год назад

I don't own any Nicks boots but I'll definitely get one pair, considering Urban Logger and Americana! Thanks for your review on these Nicks.

@Tgkjj Год назад

I have to say Carl I like how the video that gave you inspiration to buys Nick's was the same one that started me on that path

@billystpaul8907 Год назад

Karl, Thanks for the Sunday sermon at the altar of Nick's boots. I think they are the best American boots that are made. They are made to last. I am getting ready to pull the plug and get my first pair. I own Red Wings, Thursday's and Danner's as well. I just ordered a pair of White's and can't wait to see how they are. Thanks for your insights and I really enjoy your channel.

@CarlMurawski Год назад

Thank you! I think you’ll be really impressed with Nicks boots, and you have some nice models to compare them against.

@kfung4 Год назад

@Old_Sailor85 Год назад

I have the short travelers in bison (your collaboration). I would have preferred a taller boot but the bison leather was intriguing. Very nice boots. Soft sole, soft leather. Great for my 60-something year old feet. Wish I had know about PNW boots while I was still working out in the field. I wore Red Wings until they discontinued the boot I wore (they looked like Iron Rangers but were 8" boots and steel toes). None of the other steel toe Red Wings fit me. The best "cheap" steel toe boots I found were the Rocky MobiLites. Cheap bonded sole but the toe-box was properly made, and they are comfortable with minimal break-in.

@seanacameron8940 Год назад

@ryano8982 Год назад

Just recently got my Carl Murawski edition Vintage Tanker's. What a great job Nick's did on these boots. I really hope they do more half soles, because these are absolutely beautiful boots. The all leather stack on the heel really gives it a extra special look. Any idea what Nick's is going to do when we need these re-soled?

@markpritchard 22 дня назад

I only have the one pair and i love my black builder pros. For some reason i didn't have any break in problems and they've allways been good from the off. Coming up for my first resole as they are starting to go a bit bold on the tread and i'm starting to slide around a bit on muddy surfaces now and they have for some reason just started to squeak after i've had them on my feet for 9 months. Best boots i've ever owned and i wear them for work and pleasure.

@barlotardy Год назад

No amount of marketing will ever convince me that crepe soles look good.

@mattrobson3603 Год назад

I think it's more that people who buy them are comfortable enough that they convince themselves that they look good. And then try to convince everyone else so they don't feel like they have to go back to less-comfortable shoes to be considered 'well dressed'.

Unsure of how you prioritize the making of future videos, but wondering if you'd ever consider doing something on the Nick's Urban Drifter in Brown Waxed Flesh HNW last? I just bought a pair and really like them and I'd love to hear your opinion. They seem like a really great cross between the more dressy Nicks Falcon and the fairly substantial Nicks Urban Logger.

@CaseNumber00 Год назад

Starting an electrical apprentice soon, whats a good Nick's boot to get? I am a little hesitant with them since they have a lot of nails in them.

@Herbster41 Год назад

After six months, my Overlanders finally arrived. I was scheduled to leave for a hunting trip literally that week. I went to Redwing and had my foot 3-D measured, then bought a genuine Brannock device and measured with that, and then called Nick’s to talk to someone and get their opinion on what size would work best for me. I kid you not, after and hour or so I was no longer uncomfortable, and by the time I left on the trip they felt good. While going up and down the hills in the Arkansas Ozarks, they felt amazing. I’ve only had them for a few weeks now, but so far they are the best boots I’ve ever owned. Only thing close was a pair of Danner Ft Lewis’ I owned for 20 years. Will they last 20 years like the Danners? Time will tell, but so far I am extremely happy with the purchase. *For the record, I landed on Nick’s because Danner and White’s, from what I understand, are both owned by a company in Japan. The Ft. Lewis and White’s are still made in USA, but the bulk of the profit goes overseas to the mother ship. To the best of my knowledge, Nick’s is 100% owned and sourced right here in the USA.

@williamolliges2622 Год назад

I’m eyeballing the Overlander. Nice to hear they are as good as they look.

@jamesquinn6874 Год назад

I got my builder pro literally the same way. My boots were so bad they cut my heel open and my sock was covered in blood. I looked up best built boots and found Carl right after he made his video and then went on to watch Wranglestar. The best 500 I have ever spent 3 years later.

@hannukoivisto5471 Год назад

Considering buying the lace to toe boots, but im conflicted on the height. 6" looks a little stubby but they would be a little lighter than the 8". They would be just for walking and casual activities. Does anyone have a opinion on the best height for boots with just walking in mind?

@charlesrockwell3923 10 месяцев назад

Six inches is the way to go for walking and casual use. You will get real tired of lacing those extra two inches and the extra height does nothing for stability.

@kevinhayes7141 Год назад

I like Nick’s but my builder pros the leather near the heel the insole part started to peel after just wearing them for break in right when they were starting to really break in it was from sliding them off it started to peel and every time I put them back on I felt the peeled back leather on my foot I waited almost a year for these things and didn’t have time to send them back so I did the dumbest most irrational thing I used the only glue I had which was gorilla glue fixed the problem but now I’m walking around with what feels like hard plastic rest of the boot feels great though oddly it was left and right that this happened tough break I might buy another pair just bought jk boots ot pro hoping for a better experience

@F.R.G317 Год назад

Hey Carl I was wondering if you could by chance give me your cross reference size from your iron rangers to your builder pros I'm about to commit to the big purchase tomorrow. I'm a 9EE in the iron ranger but I was thinking and a 10 EE in thorogoods 8 was thinking possibly running A 9.5 E in the builders just wanted your thoughts? Thanks in advance

@CarlMurawski Год назад

Its going to be really difficult to make a recommendation, but I can tell you that my builder pros are a full 1.5 sizes smaller than my Iron Rangers. Nicks would be the best source for this information since they know the most about their lasts and fits.
