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.
