    Fashioned after the classic service boot style, the Americana offers a timeless look on the HNW Last. This boot is built on the same last and has the same heel height as the Falcon. Features include a 6" height, a durable Vibram 430 sole, and a classic rounded toe!
    While most boots are meant to be thrown away after a few months, Nicks are built to last. When your boots start to need some servicing, you can send them in to have them resoled or completely rebuilt! Nicks Handmade Boots are serviceable and last years longer than a mass-produced boot. Since 1964, Nicks has been making the highest quality boots on the market, right here in Spokane Washington. If you're tired of your old work boots wearing out, upgrade to Nicks and enjoy the most comfortable boots on the market.

    Always enjoy a new video from Nicks, but does anyone else enjoy the older longer format showing the process in much more detail?

    *13:05** The space between the white thread and the tread on the left, is more than on the right. I guess it won't have an effect on the performance of the boots? Just an observation. Otherwise, these boots look amazing! The Dublin leather is really cool especially with the contrast of the dark brown leather tongue gusset! Great work Nick's Boots!!*

    I’m curious why they don’t put a groove in the sole before stitching, so the thread doesn’t wear down as quickly?

    • @JinsKookieJams
      @JinsKookieJams 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      *Yea I've been wondering about that myself. I've watched many cobbler TH-camrs, and they all have said making a channel does indeed prevent the stitch from wearing down so fast. I know they use a special stitch, that locks the sole and midsole to the boots in place, supposedly keeping them together. The thread is coated with an adhesive, so when they spray water on the Vibram sole, it activates the adhesive in the thread. The thread, nails, and the glue on the sole and midsole, keep it all tightly held together. But still, I do agree that a channel would further make the stitch last much longer. I've seen many boots before from other companies, with a channel in the sole. It makes a lot of sense to do it.*

    Nice boots, but I would have gone with a natural finish on the heel stack. The dark doesn't match the lighter colored leather well.

    Какой срок носки при интенсивной эксплуатации у такой обуви? Одно слабое место это шов нитками на подошве от асфальта они будут стираться в месте с подошвой! Вариант когда сверху делается накладка удлинняет срок носки обуви!😊😊😊😊 А так все на высшем уровне это профессионалы своего дела! Молодцы!😅😅😅

    How to remove the nail....

    • @JinsKookieJams
      @JinsKookieJams 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      *You can't. Nails are an essential part of the boot making process. The boots are slid onto a metal foot for lasting. When they hit the nail into the leather, the nails hit that metal foot they sit on. The ends of the nails curl into themselves, and back into the leather. This is how the pieces of the bottom of the foot hold strongly together besides using the glue. You won't feel the nails. They will always curl into themselves, so that they will never reach our feet. So don't worry 😊!*
