Botas Hot Shot® Classic Arch Logger Heel - Red Card Wildland Fire

Simply the best. I have had a lot of boots on my feet but the hotshots are the best. After a few days of hard break in they are feeling better each time. I’ve never had a more durable and heavy duty boot period. Lifelong customer from now on.

Amazing boots. Built like a tank. Break in will be a bear but they fit perfectly, getting fit for them in person was worth it.

These are by far the most comfortable boots I have very worn. The attention to detail and how the classic arch works with your body is a game changer. I feel like it fixed my posture and I finally have boots that don’t feel like a burden on my feet. Also I have never had that many people comment positively about my footwear.

staff was very friendly when i went into store to order. measument process wasn’t as in depth as I had expected, as it was more of a try on different boots and see what works. this would have been ok but they didn’t have a lot of high top boots in different sizes to actually try on and trying to gauge fitment while wearing a low top boot didn’t feel very accurate. fortunately the size i ended up ordering does fit well and i was very impressed with the build quality. the leather thickness and durability is leagues above what Whites uses. I also have not been struggling with top boot bite with these boots. I ordered in July and they were made in about 5 weeks. the stitching is very heavy duty. Honestly couldn’t be happier with these boots!
I went with a lighter tan color aswell and after oiling it has turned into a nice brown.

These are the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. They have earned me several compliments from my fellow firefighters, and they are very well made.

Incredible boot. Takes a little breaking in, but I’m about a month into it and they’re already markedly better.

They are still a great boot... been wearing them for 25 years now

I have had a few different brands of wild-land boots. In 2021 I bought my first pair of Nicks. When I ordered them I ordered a standard size. Nicks called and asked if I had ever had a pair of these boots before. They called to make sure that I knew what I was getting myself into and that the size was correct. They wanted to make sure the boot fit and was right for me. 5 years later my first pair is still in great condition and I just ordered my second pair. In a week of wearing them they were broke in and ready to go. They are my go to and I should have ordered a pair 10 years earlier.

very comfortable

These boots are great. The fit is good and they fit out of the box. Very little time was needed in order to break them in. The price is also much better than my last pair of boots (Whites Smokejumpers) with equal build quality. The one down side is the screw that sits underneath the ball of my foot. The screw creates a small lump that feels like there is a perpetual rock in my boot. It’s the same for both boots and seems like something that could be easily fixed.

They feel great right off the bat!

I’ve had them for a couple weeks now and still in the break in period but getting close. These are my new favorite boots

10 outta 10 shoes! Love the way it came out with the whole shoe “rough out”

Fantastic boot! Fit is great. My only complaint is that the edge dressing washes off from simply walking through wet grass, but that's easily remedied.

Have had the boots for a little over a month. Completed the first roll with them. I have issues with my IT band locking up with normal tennis shoes or hikers. During the whole roll, I never had any pain or tightness. Great boots, worth every penny.

I'm absolutely loving them, I thought they'd be harder to break in but a month in now they are perfectly molded and broken in. Thats been my experience with them so far.

Wait no more, get the boots. Just get the boots!

An awesome pair of boots! They have had no problems during breaking them in and they feel very nicely made. I would definitely recommend them!

They are awesome!
Had them on fires in the PNW already
Looking forward to buying a second
pair of hotshots
I Wear them everyday

Construction is top notch. Boots fit perfectly. I’ve recommended to everyone I work with and family members!

Excellent and sturdy boots!

Absolutely amazing boots! they were stiff and are super comfy! I goofed and am not entirely sure that I sized down a 1/2 size like I was supposed to but I threw in a cheap insole and they fit like an absolute dream!! I can't recommend them enough! now if only they could cost less.... lol I kid, they are built amazing!

👍

Beautiful boots. Sturdy, durable, and gorgeous. I hope that this purchase will last me for many years, perfectly fit despite having a very unusual foot shape, customization options came in extremely helpful. Amazing craftsmanship.

Thanks nicks boots company for the super quality boots

I bought these for my first fire season. The whole fitting and order process was easy. The team in the store are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I had them in about two months. They are breaking in well and I am impressed with the quality every time I put them on. They are worth every dollar.

Haven’t had them for very long (3 weeks worn everyday) but very short break in period, no white-bite, solid construction. PT hike anpproved. Already planning my next pair. I can’t say how long they will hold up during summer fire season but I am confident they will be worth it. Shrunken Bison with the Red X Lug is the way to go
