The packer boot was an off shoot of the standard "cowboy" boot. Still able get in and out of a stirrup but also able to walk around with some ankle support. They're as western as any roper boot is, fellas. They just cone from a different job field.
I love Nicks. My Urban Loggers are the best footwear I own by a mile, but cmon now. I'm really itching to get a second pair of Nicks (Dark Olive or that double oil W&C), I would probably jump on a pair of Nicks real, pull up cowboy/roper boots in a heartbeat.
Are you able to choose a different color thread for the toe bug? I was thinking of smooth 1964 brown leather with a slightly darker brown toe bug. I think the white on brown is just a bit too flashy for me. Either way, thanks ahead of time for responding!
Thank every one of you who work every day to keep an American tradition alive. I know that my my boots are made by American craftsman that have stood up and not this company China.
I remember when everything was made in USA and everything was the best quality just like those boots, the problem we have today is the crooks in government that have destroyed the American industry it all started with environmental regulations and high taxes and let's not forget the unions ( not all unions) one by one factories started closing down when they closed down the last Levi factory in Texas I remember the feeling of sadness, what we need to do is buy wherever USA made - like zippo lighters or Coleman lanterns or Case and Buck knifes and it's not wasting money because they can coming handy one day but we're helping what's left of the American industry - God bless USA.
Corporations in the US don't pay taxes now and they've never been taxed very much. Environmental regulations are terrible unless you're one of the tree huggers who want to breathe air and drink water. The RepubliKKKans sent all our industry to China for one reason; GREED. They got to use incredibly cheap Chinese slave labor and at the same time drive down the wages of the working man in America.

If it wasn't for the wooden shank, I'd like these boots. But, as a retired medical professional, the only time I would need work boots, is if I volunteered to help somewhere. The boots I've bought, and have had made, all have a steel shank, despite being worn for leisure. All my research says, a steel shank is indispensable for proper foot support.
It is my understanding that Nicks are made with an oak bark tanned leather shank like many other PNW boots. They offer all the support and more one could ever need, and are equal to or superior to a steel shank. Nicks are a spare no expense kind of company, and if steel shanks were the best option, they would be using them. Hope that’s helpful. I know White’s and I think Wesco’s also use leather shanks. I own a pair of Baker’s x White’s Bounty Hunters on the 55 last. They’re like standing on the rungs of a ladder until they break in. Tons of arch and tons of support.
@@jlg395 Respectfully, and thoroughly, disagree given a great deal of information, and 'hands-on' experience. Further, many other TH-cam videos and my cobbler concur.
These are a western style boot designed for work, and a perfect one at that. If you want a western boot for going out on the town and line dancing with your girlfriend, go to Boot Barn and get you a pair of Justin or Tony Lama's.
@@scarharting5577In other words, spend money on good work boots that you practically have to live in everyday, and buy cheaper production boots for a night out, since you're only going to wear them a couple times a year probably.
Western boots were designed for riding rather than walking. That's why they pull on, why they don't have arch support, and why they have simple, leather soles. Even western boots manufacturers will label a boot a "work boot" if it has a rubber soul. Can't two-step in them either. It's a fine boot, but it's not western. More a western-ish boot.
Some cowboys have to do a lot of walking in their job. Thus a cowboy boot that laces up so it's appropriate for walking. Not that hard to figure out. Packer boots have been around for a long time.
This is a packer boot. Riding was a large part of a packer's job, as was walking. This is a far more capable western-style boot than your typical pull-on.
Always have and always will love Nick’s Boots, but you’re getting way out there! Putting a little western style stitching on a lace up boot don’t get it. You are very capable of making a real pull on western boot. I’m hoping this is a utube joke. Respect to all at Nick’s.
@Alley Cat Exactly, youll get pulled to death by a horse with that lace up design. Plus the back heel looks too chunky and wrong, they dont 360 welt cowboy boots for a reason. you need a slim compact profile to effortlessly get in and out of stirrups at will.
This packer style has been used for a very long time by workers. Spur shelf and vibram sole is for work, not fashion. Most people working on a horse in ag don’t need to have pull on boots. Unless you’re breaking horses. Plenty of people ride with zip up or lace up boots. Personally, I agree with you- pull on has benefits
Western similarity, but not a western boot, in old miner's terms, fools gold. Make a true boot to the task they're selling for, the same for not making a true hiking boot that was passed. Since you're great at making work boot, which are excellent, stick to what makes you the greatest company in the world in my thoughts, and that is making reliable work boots. In the future, if you're going to go out on a limb, then go the distance to create the traditional western and hiker boot. Your customers trust you, you stand by your product, so don't allow someone's crazy idea in your front office cause a negative review about a product that is false claim. Love your work, love your products, my advise go all out or don't do it at all, in truth you'll probably sell 10,000 more just because it's different and came from Nick's Boot.

Beauty. Might have brought that heel stack in a bit tighter to the shape of the heel upper, but to each their own. awesome boots. ✊🏻
probably a spur shelf
My thoughts exactly.
They are specifically designed that way. If you've ever worn a set of spurs you would understand.
Ready for a renegade build video ! Thanks again nicks .

Incredibly talented people at Nick’s. My boots were worth every penny.

Good job guys , people don’t understand that those are working boots with a little of western boots touch 🤟👍
Coming in for a fit and ordering my Packers in Aug. Can’t wait!!!
How’d they come out?

They have the Biltrite half sole which is a roper/engineer style that looks damn fine. Might be limited release though!
I still say that y'all really should do a square toe pull-on.
What are the chances I'll see my boots being made on here? One can hope!
Nick’s need to make a pull on cowboy boot the a Vibram sole

Beautiful Boot.
What tannery leather are y'all using for these? Looks like really nice leather to work with
high quality Nice video
Okay. I've never seen that style and think it looks weird, but it's well built weird. 😂
It‘s amazing!
Love the colour
Man! So nice!
فى اي بلد يوجد هذا المصنع?
Perfect
This is exactly the pair of packers I am looking for. How much and how long would it take?
You can find pricing and lead times on their website
Nice
It’s really special

Any chance of Nick’s making an actual cowboy boot? Or of using a 360 stitch down welt on say the moc toes? Asking for a friend.

Suede leather lining. The insole and midsole are veg tan leather.

Do you no longer accept PayPal for payment?
You triggered a lot of people with this boot.
People who wear nothing but sandals... With socks, probably.

I wish they made the boot on a lower tube boot.

That is not a western boot and while the quality is top notch, the overall look is ugly.
Sorry, those just aren't western boots. They are lace-up boots with stitching on toe. Just higher heeled work boots not western at all.
Yup lumberjack boots with stitching on toe. Not western at all.

That's odd. These are popular rancher boots in SW Montana. I guess that's not western enough for you.
yeah first comment

with all those great materials, it's to bad no one there can make proper stich lines. looks like a four year old did the stiching.
Justin’s, Luchesse, Dan Post, Nocona, Boulet. Anything else is rubbish.
Yeah everything is awesome but wtf is wrong with that sole design? 🥸
