With so many more disposable quality boots I’ve been issued through 3 decades of special operations service I wish I had known of Nicks. I don’t own a pair yet but I fully intend to get into a pair. There has been a greater push in our community to run more athletically designed boots geared toward hiking vs more traditional combat boots due to the more extreme loads we carry and the extreme distances over rugged terrain. Nicks looks like a full spectrum approach to foot wear.
In the 365 MTO you can get everything the Gamebreaker has plus get it in a Thurmond55 last or Standard 55 last using the Unit Lug outsole, but alas w/out the LTT@@stevenkelby2169
What leather are each of those shown in here? I need a pair of the game breakers in the full 67 brown leather. Need to figure out sizing tho. I wear a 10.5 in thorogoor mic toes but they are just a bit snug and my toes can't move at all while hunting or working and they hurt like hell by the end of the day. So a half size up to an 11 would probably be wise, but yea. I'm ready for some custom boots that fit me properly. Skinny feet long toes that do like to splat out both big toes were broken and don't have proper mobility. I'll have to measure my feet tonight and print the cutout.
@@InGrindWeCrust2010 possibly. I doubt it tho? I've measured them out with their fit guide. They fall into normal fitting but a size smaller than my thorogoods or redwings or Jordans for that matter. I do a ton of walking hunting in the woods here in North central MN and as long as my toes aren't being scrunched from the sides my big toes are happy. They don't need to splay out fully, but they generally need to be able to wiggle around. I will say most my boots are moc toe and that takes more material off the top , also have a pair of Irish setter elk trackers that aren't moc toe and those are nice for hunting and hiking in wet and snow as well. I assume not mic toe 10s would be really similar in toe space those are
@@Hustler_state I would give them a phone call to ask. It's rare for your Nick's size to be that much shorter than your Thorogood size without the width increasing significantly, e.g. to EEE or F or something. I love my Thorogoods but I have splayed toes and really don't like the way the small toe side cuts in a bit. I ordered boots on a Munson last for my next build.
@@InGrindWeCrust2010 I will have to. Idk, I'm a 6ft guy 180lbs, mostly skinny feet just have a lot of toes. I don't want to add extra width in the heal or sides, just got to make sure I have the toe room. And according to their size chart it's what says. But yea I've def reached out via socials as well just to chat. Been sizing jks as well, and it's essentially the same thing overall. Just a size smaller overall but "standard" width. I'll have em send me a try on pair first more than likely. Just seems silly to not. I'm not looking to spend 600bucks and not have them fit properly the 1st time. Maybe when I was younger I'd tolerate it, but at 43 my feet deserve better. Lol
Im fuzzled that they keep releasing new boots when they cant make the old ones. Im on week 30 of a pair of Nicks with no boots in sight. So any other boots that are comparative and cheaper. I regret ever placing the order. Maybe work on improving production instead of releasing new boots that will have a ridiculous lead time? Good luck getting a pair of these until at least 2024!
Of course not! I thought they would overnight them. When you say 18-35 weeks, what you really mean is when we get ready. Point being, Nicks should focus on production and process instead of coming up with more boot options that they cant make. Im guessing the variability is their issue. Adding more options only compounds that. @@EscapedTexan
@johngalt1040 that's kind of your issue than. if you order online you should know to look at such things and double check. Them being a smaller company, top quality and durability. you should expect things to be differently especially with all their widths, lengths and height options. the long lead times are all over their site.
@johngalt1040 i have high functioning autism so in my case i spend on avg 6-10hours of pure research and videos about everything i desire to buy and make sure to make the right decision.
How about a video on making the Gamebreaker???

The moc toe ridgeline look great! Hope to get a pair some day
The world needs more footwear built on these wide lasts. I love my "potato" toe boots.
I wish they used the Thurman 55 last though. I'd like arch support.

Totally agree 👍
We need a review/ build video on the game breakers
But do they come in black patent leather for when I go fox hunting in my red coat and white pants? Cheerio!
Dang it. Wish I had waited.....these look amazing.
Wide toe box! Big plus in my book.
Would look very cool with a buckle boot like the french legion ranger boot
This is my favorite line of Nick’s
I want of so many pairs of nicks boots I don’t even know is what ones to buy
Can you have an elastic toe on the game breaker? Website says soft toe.
Were those classic or moderate Lasts?
Are the soles similar to the tactical?
Is the padded collar on the LTT Gamebreaker cloth or leather?
We need more videos from the "new boots goofin" guy
Cameron, what pants are you wearing?
Is it possible to get the turnbull with a composite toe?

Maybe a wider size? Nick's has a self-sizing thingy you can print out and use that is pretty reliable...

Out of curiosity, what size/width is the Gamebreaker being shown here?
Is the color of the Gamebreakers in this video predator orange or smooth brown 64?
The Gamebreakers shown in the video are Weathershield Brown
Nice!
Gorgeous boots!
Only brand I trust when I buy boots
Nicks needs a more flexible boot with a wider toe box and no heel or arch support!
You need to look somewhere else, bozo 🫵🤡

Did you check the lead times before you ordered?

@@VERSUXH Thanks for your words of wisdom and feedback. I should have expected less for a $600+ pair of boots!
