    Billy Ray! What a joy to see your videos. It's a full entertaining. I'm very glad that you visited Nicks factory and showed to us all this cool people. You know, I'm literally on other side of the planet but definitely I'll buy Nicks boots some day. Love the style, love the quality and I'm glad to support people that makes good things. It will be an honor to have a pair on Nicks boots.

  • @adamcoble6632
    @adamcoble6632 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent trip through the work floor of Nicks Boots. I live only a few hours south from them and have been there a few times for my boots and rebuilds. I’ve also been to the three other handmade boot makers in that city as well, but Nicks have been my choice for 23 years and I’m barely in my 40’s. Keep it up Buckin!

  • @mattlowry8256
    @mattlowry8256 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You should all watch the video from nicks boots with owners. It could really bring a tear to your eye and I’m not kidding. And grant with his soft spoken voice could make me watch boot making videos all day. Wish I could afford a pair, but I have 4 kids. So I will watch all the other customers smiles on there faces. Nicks and grant please keep the videos coming, makes my day every time you post!!!!! Thanks from a long way a way in New Jersey.

    Good boots aren’t cheap and cheap boots aren’t a bargain. I never regretted paying the price for my nicks boots but I do regret not getting them sooner.

  • @crazyman3157
    @crazyman3157 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video Buckin, your energy radiates and it shows. The crew at Nicks are true craftsman, they make their job look easy but they are true craftsman and it shows in the quality in a well built boot. I definitely will be looking to get a pair of Nicks soon. Nothing beats a handmade boot that is crafted by a craftsman who puts his/her passion into their work. Awesome that you spent time with them Buckin, it is who you are as a person, as a human being. I am trying hard to do the same and it truly makes a huge difference. Take a frown to a smile and it changes the whole day. 👍🏻👍🏻

  • @richardhampton4612

    Loved the video Buckin,& the entire process. If anyone knows a quality boot, it would definitely be you. The work you do, puts the boot to the ultimate test. Gotta say, I’m very impressed. Knowing your character, they’re definitely worth the money. Great job everyone at NICKS 🥾 BOOTS! I’ll be tracking the quality as Buckin continues to do his thing.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

    This was alot of fun. And you have a gift at interviewing people. Def do more of these type of videos. And do short spotlights of the craftsmen.
    Def do a video like this with Dayton Boots and other Canadian boot makers...

    @deanlewis1650 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome looking boots. I have worn a 8 to 10" boot for over 35 years. I have usually bought Carolina Boots but I will for sure be getting a pair from Nicks Boots. Thank you brother man for the video.

    @fox7mio ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I liked that we knew the people after you talked with them a minute, not just treated like the machine they operate, even "met" a fellow Montana guy we didn't see. Bob Vila and them never did that. Thanks. These kind of products are cheaper in the long run.

    What a great video! Such great American craftsmanship one nail/stitch at a time. You pay a bit more for quality but in the long run it is money well spent. Nicks Boots is an hand crafted art and it take so many artists for each pair.

  • @jirusjirus9322
    @jirusjirus9322 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I knew that i would see a sponsored video sooner or later, but didn't know what the product would be.
    Nick's boots sound like a great fit for Buckin to promote.
    We believe you put them to the test and they stood up to rigorous work.
    In order to stand up and buck ya gotta good balance.
    Boots are coverings and platforms for the feet.
    Great stuff 👍

    Ive been wearin 16in boots for 25+ years everyday, As a climber you can find yourself gearing up for a climb any minute from storm damage to gettin lil sallys kitty cat from the treetops good boots are the first element of a climbers gear to me and the 16in boot adds a little armor to your leg in my opinion. Great video Buckin we'll see ya buddy!
