Nicks Boots is deeply grateful for the continued efforts of our forest service workers. 

On October 1st, 2020, the USDA Forest Service increased the reimbursement amount for the Safety Boot Reimbursement Program to $500.  To make it as easy as possible to get the highest-quality American-Made footwear, we offer our wildland firefighter boots for $500 to all workers who qualify for the stipend starting Oct. 1 until the end of the year.

Thank you again for all of your efforts.  

There aren't any specific boots required for construction, but there are certain features that are. What kind of work boots you get are entirely up to you.

Feeling a bit tight at first? A bit of pinching happening? Don't worry; a little bit is normal with new boots.

Did you know work boots are actually tax deductible in some situations?

You absolutely can wear work boots to work in an office. In fact, a growing portion of sales of certain work boot brands and styles are increasingly for casual use.

You're on the job site and your boots get soaked, either due to working conditions or a downpour from the heavens. What do you do?

Large national brands have to cut corners somewhere to offer products at a price point that keeps them profitable since they deal in volume. They have to keep prices low enough for the buyer to not race for the back button.

Wedge boots are some of the best for work or casual wear, so long as you're getting them for what they do instead of what they don't.

What the best plantar fasciitis boots are - meaning boots that avoid it or can keep it from happening - has more to do with you than anything. It's what boots are best for YOUR feet.

The problem with most work shoes, and in fact most shoes in general, is that there are hundreds of manufacturers out there. And all of them use different lasts.
