Comstock - Made to Order

Our boots fit pretty true to size and the Brannock Device. For those who like less toe box room, consider going down 1/2 size. Choose "build to the size I select" if you wear the same size in all footwear, your feet are fairly "normal", and you are willing to assume some risk if the boots don't fit perfectly. Choose "send me a fit kit and try on pair of boots" if your feet are difficult to fit and you don't have success with off-the-shelf sizing. The Try on process can take 6 weeks before you get your try on pair. Choose "just send me a fit kit" if your feet are fairly predictable to size, but you just want a little assurance from us.

Brown 6-7oz-Light-Duty: Our best brown option for light duty. Sourced from either Seidel in Milwaukee, WI, or Horween in Chicago, IL. Black 6-7oz-Light-Duty: Our best black option for light duty.

For those who want a bit of a distressed brown look. Brown Waxed Flesh 6-7oz-Light-Duty: This leather is made almost exactly the same way as CHROMEXCEL®, but instead it is finished on the flesh (or suede side). This colors, waxes, seals, and lays the nap of the flesh flat. Durable and extremely stylish for those who like a distressed look. Natural Waxed Flesh 6-7oz-Light-Duty: This is the lighter version of the Waxed Flesh above. Tobacco Stampede 5-6oz-Light-Duty: This is the classic orange tone that made Moc-toe boots legendary in the midwest. Although it is prone to scuffing, it is durable, breaks in well, and is classy for light duty applications. Black Smooth - 7-8oz-Work: You just can't go wrong with our Black Smooth. We've been using it for over 50 years. Polishable, but requires work. Black Raindance Roughout 7-8oz-Work: Same as the Black Smooth, just the "rough side" of the hide. Choose this for the lowers as the foot portion takes the beating. Chocolate Smooth 7-8oz-Work: Lighter in color compared to the Walnut. Tends to be a little "boardier" or stiff than the Black and Walnut. Chocolate Roughout 7-8oz-Work: Same as the Chocolate Smooth, just the "rough side" of the hide. Choose the "Roughout" for the lowers as the foot portion of the boot takes the beating. Walnut Smooth 7-8oz-Work: This is our go-to for Brown. We've been using it for 50 years. Not the "prettiest" leather, but it's tough. Walnut Roughout 7-8oz-Work: Same as the Walnut Smooth, just the "rough side" of the hide. Choose the "Roughout" for the lowers as the foot portion of the boot takes the beating. Tan Teton Roughout 7-8oz-Work: Our lightest color. Smooth not recommended as it gets dirty easily. Choose this for the entire boot. Can pass as Coyote Tan for for military applications.

Soft Toe: Recommended. Maximizes Toe box comfort. Work leathers are plenty durable without any structure in the toe box. 9 out of 10 customers use a soft toe. Celastic Toe: Felt-like cloth infused with a hardening resin. Keeps the toe box from "sagging". Recommended for dressier boots. Some toe interference. Celastic Toe Thick: Not recommended. A thicker version. Toe box comfort not guaranteed. Not safety rated, but is "bump" resistant.

Select "yes" for work boots only if you really use your toe as a tool (i.e. resting or lifting items with your toe. Toe box comfort is reduces with toe caps as the leather doesn't stretch much. Keep in mind that our leather is nearly 2-3 times thicker than mass-produced work boots. Just because you are wearing through your non-Nicks boots, doesn't mean you will ours.

430-mini: Shallower tread than the V100 but with oil-resistance. Excellent for those who want grip and durablilty, but don't need the deep lugs of the V100. 269 Westerner: Mini rib pattern. Most common "dress" sole. Doesn't track in mud or dirt. Dainite: Originally designed in 1910 by Harboro Rubber Company in the UK. The famous studded pattern was designed so that the sole does not attract or store dirt. V-Bar: Features a traditional chevron pattern which provides grip but is easy to clean. Tends to wear about the same as the 430-mini. Leather: Looks great and is light-weight, but offers no grip. Classic appeal, but lacks function.

Black - Hides all the sins. Most common for black boots. Brown - Most common for brown boots. Natural - The most natural look. Default for light duty/dress casual boot. A inexpensive way to give a darker work boot some flare/color contrast. Default ink for Honey Vibram and leather soles.

Some parts of the leather hide are not optimal for boots. We make matching leather goods from these parts of the hide and solid brass hardware. Add a key clip, catch all, and drink sleeve to your boot order! Assembly required.

Lead-times vary based on purchasing method. Most stock, 2-week ship boots are completed in 2 weeks. Most boots that are not stocked and need to be built take anywhere from 14-20 weeks based on fitting methods: build to my existing size, fit kit only, fit kit and try on process, and I am choosing my size.
