Hot Shot® Walnut 67 Classic Arch Sprung Toe (NFPA Option)

Buy with Confidence: Purchasing a pair of handmade boots can be a little nerve-racking. At Nicks, it doesn't need to be. We will return and exchange your boots if you are concerned about the size. Boots must be in new condition to qualify.

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 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 8 weeks before you get your try on pair. The fee covers the round trip shipping of the try on boots. For more information about sizing options visit https://nicksboots.com/resources/sizing-guide/

Our boots typically run a 1/2 shorter than your sitting Brannock measurement. Sole Sizing: Please note that although we carry a vase array of sole sizes, in some cases, the standard sole option that comes on your boot may not be available for your size foot size. This normally applies to very small feet and very wide feet. We may ask you to change the sole style due to the sole manufacture's sizing limitation. Soles that fit most sizes: V-Bar, Lug soles, 2021 Crepe Soles and sizing that don't: 430-mini, sizes 6 and shorter, 12 and longer, and wider than EE. No returns or exchanges will be permitted Made-to-Order boots. A 15% restocking fee will apply for standard configuration boot returns.

Nicks utilizes a alphabetical size scale. AA is the narrowest and FFFF is the widest. D is the most common width. E is the next most common width.

Select "yes" only if your agency requires that the boot be National Fire Protection Agency certified. NFPA boots are built with self-extinguishing thread and sole ("Red-X").

Smooth over roughout: Our most common configuration as the smooth upper is protected by the pant leg and the foot portion takes the beating. Smooth: For those who like to keep their boots "polished" and don't need the abrasion resistance that the roughout provides. Roughout: For those working in very abrasive environment, where even the upper portion of the boot is exposed to abrasion. Note: Tan Teton available in roughout only.

Stitched-through Thick: better sole flexibility; sole-stitching all the way through the outsole to prevent delamination; lighter weight; 3/4'' thick sole stack. (Legacy models built this way: Ridgeline, Fire Trooper, Forester, "Contenders") Non-stitched-through Thicker: better insulation from heat, cold, and rocks; out-sole is only glued and screwed--not stitched through; boots may be more difficult to break-in; 1'' thick sole stack. More prone to delamination around the edges of the sole. This is how our traditional Hotshot and BuilderPro boots have been made.

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 Configuration, 6-week ship boots are completed in 6 weeks. Most boots that are not stocked and need to be built take anywhere from 16-20 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.

Please choose your normal pants waist size! Belts will normally be 4" larger than that size. All add-on belts will be 1.5" wide. (For the 1.75" wide belt, please look under the Accessories Category.)
