Lead Times

Repairs:

Resoles & rebuilds currently take 8-10 weeks.

Boots:

Much consideration goes into determining how long each boot takes to go through production.

Factors Nicks considers are:

Order (Date & Time) Submitted
Number of recent orders
Number of orders in process
Supplier availability
Current and upcoming seasons (i.e. fire, harvest, winter seasons)
Labor Required
Fit/Last Availability
Other misc. factors.

These lead times are not determined lightly, while we believe they are accurate they are only an estimate. Actual build and delivery times may vary, and are subject to change.
