size guide

Length: Our boots are longer than mass-produced footwear. With that in mind, we recommend going down a 1/2 size from your Brannock length. Example: If you normally wear size 12D, we recommend a size 11.5D for your Nicks.
Width: In addition to length, consider the width of your feet when selecting boots, as most brands' boots are built with the standard D width. This measurement is typically more precise with a tailors tape rather than a Brannock device. Nicks offers a wide range to help fit your feet, with A-FF widths available in many of our lasts.

Side Zip Station Boots, they are awesome!

I recently ordered a pair of Nick’s Side Zip Station Boots and think they are awesome. The quality, materials, and craftsmanship are outstanding, exactly what I’ve come to expect from Nick’s.

I’m especially pleased that Nick’s was able to accommodate my very narrow feet with a B width. That is extremely difficult to find, and the fit through the foot is excellent.

The only issue I’ve run into is related to having not only narrow feet, but also very narrow ankles and lower shins. If I lace the upper portion of the boot snugly enough to fit my ankle and leg properly, there isn’t enough room for me to get my foot into the boot using only the side zipper. I have to keep the upper laces fairly loose so I can get the boots on and off through the zipper opening.

This certainly doesn’t take away from the quality of the boots, but it might be something worth mentioning to customers ordering the narrower B widths, especially those with narrow ankles and lower legs. They may need to leave the upper portion laced a little looser than expected in order to make full use of the side zipper.

Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the boots and the workmanship. They are a beautiful, exceptionally well-made pair of boots.

I was expecting a boot similar to an earlier station variation of a wildland boot

I was expecting a boot similar to an earlier station variation of a wildland boot. This boot is nothing like the wildland boot an its arch is much less and overall its far below my expectation given my previous model from Nick's. Oh well... $600 down the drain.

Almost perfect

I’ve been working EMS for 27 years, currenly working rotor flight, and these boots are my first departure from Danners for my uniform. I wear Builder pros at home and in my woodshop, so I am familiar with Nicks quality. These boots are almost perfect. The quality is there, and is everything I’d expect; the problem is in the design. I assumed the side zip would allow easy donning and doffing without lacing (as in the case with most zipped uniform boots). Not so. In fact, these boots are very difficult to get in and out of even when unzipped and unlaced, so the design actually prolongs my response times. I hoped this would improve with break-in, but it hasn’t. And the zippers slide down and open up with normal wear. A major disappointment. But with the financial investment that a pair of Nicks is, I don’t see a choice but to live with it.
