First Time Buying Guide

Are you ready to step up your boot game but feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of options available? Fear not! Nicks is here to guide you through the maze of boot-buying complexities, especially if you're a first-time buyer.

When venturing into the world of boots, it's easy to get lost in the sea of custom configurations and technical jargon. But fret not; Nicks has streamlined the process for you with two fantastic options: Quick Ship and In-Stock boots. Let's explore why these options are perfect for beginners.

In Stock and Factory Seconds

In-Stock boots are the epitome of convenience. With minimal processing time, these boots are practically begging to be worn. If you're eager to strut your stuff in a quality pair of boots without the wait, look no further than Nicks' In-Stock options. These boots ship to you within 2-4 business days.

Similar to Quick Ship boots, In-Stock boots alleviate the stress of sizing. You can skip the headache of deciphering arcane boot terminology and dive straight into enjoying your new footwear. Plus, with In-Stock boots, you can rest assured knowing that your purchase will arrive promptly, ready to accompany you on your next adventure. In-Stock and Factory Seconds boots are not eligible for the Buy With Confidence program. Furthermore, Factory Seconds boots are final sale.

Marketplace

The Nicks Marketplace is your new hub to buy and sell high-quality, pre-worn boots! The Nicks Marketplace hosts pre-worn footwear from quality brands beyond just Nicks Handmade Boots at various price points and shipping within 3-7 business days.

Third-party marketplaces can be untrustworthy and expensive. Buying and selling through forums can be unreliable. Now, you can sell your pre-worn leather footwear, knowing that the Nicks team is overseeing the transaction every step of the way.

Legacy Quick Ship

Our most popular models over the years. Legacy models will not have any available configuration options, just a size selection with limited widths. Legacy Models are either in stock and ready to ship, or will be built with an expedited lead time of 4-6 weeks if preordered while out of stock. Additionally, no changes can be made to these orders after they are placed. Rest assured, Legacy models are eligible for our Buy With Confidence program.

Quick Ship

Quick Ship boots are your express lane to boot bliss. Limited configuration options mean that these boots have a faster lead time compared to custom orders, meaning you can get your hands (or should we say feet?) on them in no time. If you're itching to lace up your new kicks and hit the trails or streets pronto, Quick Ship boots are your best bet. Quick Ship models ship within 10-14 weeks of order. Because of the expedited lead time, no changes can be made to these orders after they are placed.

But that's not all—Quick Ship boots also offer peace of mind when it comes to sizing with our Buy With Confidence program. No need to fret over intricate measurements or complex sizing charts. With Quick Ship options, you can trust that the size will be appropriate for you, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit right out of the box.

Navigating the intricate world of boot customization can be intimidating, especially for first-time buyers. That's why Nicks recommends Quick Ship and In-Stock options for those dipping their toes into the boot-buying pool.

By opting for Quick Ship or In-Stock boots, you can bypass the complexities of custom configurations and dive straight into the joy of owning a quality pair of boots. Whether you're gearing up for outdoor excursions or simply want to elevate your everyday style, Quick Ship and In-Stock boots offer a hassle-free solution for beginners.

After placing an order, an automatic confirmation email is typically sent to the provided email address. However, if this email fails to appear in your inbox, it's possible that the email address was entered incorrectly during the ordering process. In such cases, it's advisable to thoroughly check your spam and junk folders, as occasionally these confirmation emails may be diverted there.
