These are the best pair of shoes I have ever worn.

I love to see the built-up MTO boots as much as the next guy. But, when it comes time to lace up a pair for those days you don’t have a plan for… The Nicks Robert in Weathershield Brown is the perfect choice. Made from the same 7-8oz Seidel full grain work leather. But with a silicone treatment for extra weather protection. The Weathershield leather alga’s a great suede-like look and feel. Giving it a great look, while being a straight up work boot. A staple; dress-up or dress-down. Never the wrong choice.

Well folks I have been working hard out there on the slopes. Thin’n Juniper Trees and improving forest diversity, I made a mistake in ordering a pair of size 9’s. For casual wear and walking on flat ground they work well; however working on slopes packing a chainsaw my feet are crowding the toe box. Towards the end of the day this is an aggravation. I should have ordered a 9-1/2. I have another pair of Robert’s on order, and phoned in this morning and changed the size up from a 9 to a 9-1:2. Every thing else as far as width, leather, last, heel, hooks, eyes, sole are great. The sizing mistake is not on Nicks as far as I’m concerned, that’s on me. My pair of Moc Toe Wedge Boots are just great by the wsy

This is my second pair of Nick's Boots. I got the Robert in Smooth MS Black which they say is their stiffest leather however they were comfortable straight out of the box and were relatively easy to break in. I like the classic arch, I have never had a boot with this much arch support. It feels great, I can easily wear these boots all day. The 55 last has an almond like profile to it which makes it feel more dressy compared to the HNW last. This boot is my new go to weekend boot it is a versatile boot it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

You really have to hold one of these boots and wear them for a few days to understand the unparelled quality of these boots. Sturdy with style. i have had several pairs of handmade boots in my life and nothing has compared to the rugged nature of these boots. I will never be without a pair or two of these boots! I cannot reccomend these boots enough!

Nine month review : Nicks Handmade Robert Boot with the 55 High Arch Last, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. As someone with high arches, rheumatoid arthritis and ankle injury finding footwear that provides proper support and comfort has always been a challenge. However, this boot from Nicks has truly made a difference. Here's my detailed review:



First and foremost, the process was seamless. I provided Nicks with accurate measurements and details about my high arches, and they expertly crafted the boot to meet my needs. The attention to detail and commitment to precision were evident in every aspect of the boot's construction.



The handmade craftsmanship of the Nicks Robert Boot is truly exceptional. The quality and durability of the materials used are immediately apparent. From the robust leather upper to the sturdy Vibram outsole, every component exudes reliability and long-lasting performance. It's clear that Nicks takes pride in their workmanship.



When it comes to comfort, this boot truly shines. The 55 High Arch Last provides excellent support precisely where I need it most. The arch area of the boot contours perfectly to my high arches, offering the necessary stability and reducing any discomfort or strain. Walking or standing for extended periods is no longer a challenge thanks to the exceptional arch support provided by the boot.



The overall fit of the Nicks Robert Boot is impeccable. The handmade nature ensures a snug and secure fit that feels like the boot was crafted specifically for my feet. The attention to detail in accommodating my high arches is evident in every step I take. Additionally, the boot provides ample room in the toe box, allowing for natural movement and preventing any pinching or discomfort.



One aspect that stands out is the boot's versatility. Whether I'm hiking on rugged trails or navigating urban environments, the Nicks Robert Boot performs admirably. The Vibram outsole offers excellent traction on various surfaces, providing stability and confidence with every step. The boot's construction and design allow for flexibility and support, making it suitable for a wide range of activities.



In conclusion, the Nicks Handmade Robert Boot with the 55 High Arch Last has truly been a game-changer for me. The fit, impeccable craftsmanship, and outstanding arch support make it a standout choice for individuals with high arches. Nicks' attention to detail and commitment to quality shine through in every aspect of the boot's design and construction. While it may come at a higher price point compared to off-the-shelf boots, the benefits it offers for those with high arches make it worth every penny.



If you're seeking a boot that provides exceptional support, comfort, and durability, I highly recommend considering the Nicks Handmade Robert Boot with the 55 High Arch Last. It's an investment in your foot health and overall satisfaction and one that you won't regret.

I have had my Roberts for three days. They are incredible. I shoe horses and am a Brand inspector for the State and I think these boots will never wear out. Incredibly sturdy, not a stitch out of place, and already feeling great with more to come! Outstanding!

This boot changed my life. I'm on my feet all day and put in 30k + steps regularly. I've tried many high quality boots over the years, and some were pretty darn good, but none of them come close to the Robert.



My lower back and feet NEVER hurt at the end of the day, it's literally a miracle. The support of the sole, the heel shape/angle, and the overall construction is IMHO unrivaled.



If you feel that these are expensive I'd agree except they will last you decades. Do that math and consider them a bargain.



Get yourself some and never look back.

Nicks has skilled workers who use high quality materials to produce truly amazing products..

The Robert model I believe is one of the company's best sellers for the following reasons:

First, the Robert is produced on a Last that will likely fit lots of different foot shapes. The Last combined with the availability of width sizing means an excellent fit for you is attainable.

I've found the 5/8 " standard heel height works together with the arch built within the boot's footbed to give my body sensational support for long distance walking. My natural walking habit is to have the back of my heel land first ; however the angled (dogger style) heel of the Robert has naturally altered my technique so that the ball area of my foot is now landing first, and that is a good thing.

The stock specifications of the Robert model include thick Chromexcel ,which won't have grain break -creases-wrinkles-stretch like the relatively thin CXL used by other footwear brands . And the Robert's standard Vibram V-700 rubber outsole with Quabuaug rubber heel cap is the good quality, highly stuff that is comfortable, relatively quiet, and durable.

I consider the Robert to be a well thought out good sense design which promotes proper posture and good walking technique.
