Thanks for the update. I picked up a set of builder pros in six inch with the 1964 brown leather and the honey vibram sole. I can’t wait for my first pair of nicks boots. My next set might have to be a pair similar to yours. Those have an excellent patina.
@@coreyboyd3094 Dagg that sounds kind of annoying lol I plan on ordering no pull loops and soft toe on mine, hopefully they get it right you know? How about the soft toe did they get that right lol? If so how is it?
Glad I watched this. I just ordered my second pair of Nicks in 6” and was going to go with the pull loop, but after some thought I opted for no pull loop. I’ve had many different 6” boots and have never considered it necessary to have a pull loop.
Good review. I have a pair of urban loggers on order in brown waxed flesh. I share your need for a coordinated belt. I’m funny that way even though my boots will be work and casual. I do some leather work and was thinking of a 2 tone brown waxed flesh and black CXL ranger style belt. My urban loggers will have black vibram and black kilty just for some contrast and interest.
Oh this Cottonwood color way is by far my favorite. Check out the "Cottonwood Color Way" collection on the site for the full line of products made to compliment Natty Waxed Flesh leather. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾
Bitchin on pull loops ion work boots is what someone that has never done hard work for weeks at a time would say ! When you get to your 50,s that pull loop is an saving grace in the morning when it’s time to head out .
I beg to differ as a 34 year old, one year of them spent rehabilitating a partially severed achilles tendon from a mugger inflicted gun shot wound, followed by 15 years spent carrying granite slab countertops in and out of new and existing homes (from upstate NY to Southern Arizona) while three of those 15 were also well spent as a volunteer for my local fire department and testing and conditioning in an attempt to get hired on as paid full time. I am a working man and I never won't be. I am also type 1 diabetic. I think I know a thing or two about quality footwear. Many folks have been dealt a different deck from unique skeletal structures and bad backs to old age and obesity. Some folks need that pull loop as I said it's just not for me on a 6" tall boot. Toxic macho masculinity is something I've matured beyond in my 20's. It's never too late to try though!!! 🙌🏾
I like the combination of natural waxed flesh - they look amazing. I want to get a new pair of engineers and was leaning to Wescos (I have 2 Whites Engineers a/w a variety of good lace-ups). I was thinking of a chocolate waxed flesh. On one of your engineer videos, you said an unstructured toe was more comfortable than a structured toe. Am I understanding that correctly & could you elaborate? THX
@@TerryManitoba you still have a similar kind of wiggle room. A structured toe allows the leather to be a little more relaxed instead of stretching around the c-lastic toe. The slightly more relaxed leather is now more easily able to stretch in the areas of your foot along the toe box and vamp where you need it most.
Excellent review. Looking for a good camping/hiking boot to replace my Chippewas next year. Question: the arch on your review boots look moderate like the Urban Drifter, you sure those are loggers? edit: my bad. I can see from the back of the heel these are indeed loggers. Great looking boots
Oh man thanks for the very quick answer. I like the urban logger, but think that the look of the Urban Drifter is more versatile. Either way the boot will be 75% work
The Swashbuckler boots available on my website @ www.noblemansapothecary.com are what I've worn all summer long. They are a 6" packer style boot made in collaboration with Nick's boots. They are hands down the most incredible looking, durable and cool in the hot weather too! I have a video on them but will also be uploading and update on them.
One of my favorite for driving. The lug soles I think are great especially in wet conditions. The 6" shaft makes foot to pedal adjustments easier than an 8" and more comfortable on long journeys in general. For long distance driving and hopping in/out of the cab. I recommend the Urban Logger for truck driving. 👍🏽⚡🤟🏽
I also like pull loops from a utility standpoint especially on a 8 inch or taller shaft boot. I have come to learn that on a 6 inch tall boot, pull loops become more of drawback than a benefit. IMO

Can't wait to get my belt Angel! Appreciate the convo and the great service! Paul
Thanks for the review. I appreciate the advice on the pull-loops.
I took your advice previously when I ordered my urban loggers I ordered a soft toe and no pull loops in a 55 last
Nice, I know you're gonna love the hell out of them! Thanks for stopping by, Corey!!!
Hey Corey how did that work out? I’m thinking of doing the same if I order. Are they easy to put on without the pull loop?
@@richardodouglin3855 well I couldn't tell ya.. as above I ordered without pull loops but got pull loops anyway 🤷 not a big deal though

@@richardodouglin3855 yeah everything other than the pull loops was correct. I love the boots even with the pull loops

Agreed. I just sliced mine off a few days ago.
@@NoblemansXchange lol that’s the real cowboy style. It must’ve really gotten to you to go that route.
Thanks Panama Jack!
I personally like the pull loops, but the nice thing about a custom boot is you can get what you want!
I just ordered the overlander belt. See what’s up with this Holmes skills. Lol. Can’t wait to get it. 🤘🏼
I saw it and appreciate you! Have a wonderful day Greg. 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Love the urban logger look. Yeah dont need a pull loop on 6”. Great review brotherman. Also you know I love the belts bro! 🔥
I do I do I do-oo-oo!!!

Im about to purchase these and your video took me from maybe to definitely! Loved the video man! Dig your style..
Thank you Sean! Stay Noble my friend. 🤟🏽⚡👊🏽
I swear you just can't beat the look of that natural waxed flesh and how it ages and how forgiving it is
💥🙌🏽💥 it's just a great all arounder. 👍🏽
@@NoblemansXchange agreed
@@NoblemansXchange rofl just purchased my urban loggers now I gotta get this belt to match
Oh this Cottonwood color way is by far my favorite. Check out the "Cottonwood Color Way" collection on the site for the full line of products made to compliment Natty Waxed Flesh leather. 🤜🏾💥🤛🏾
@@NoblemansXchange I'm absolutely loving the look color and thickness of the belt it's as serious as Nick's boots so itll be a great duo
great review as always brother!!!!!
I will order those boots with my Christmas bonus. Can’t wait!
@A 1
Do you think the moderate arch would be ok for someone with flatter feet?
The moderate arch is their lowest arch I think you will really like the fit.
@A 1 thank you friend.
I ordered a pair of brown waxed flesh. But ordered the Urban Drifter
Thanks for this update. I loved that Urban Logger with natural waxed flesh and honey Vibram. So nice.
Buying these soon ty for the pull loop info was going to get them now I'm not
That's awesome. Glad I could help! ✨🤟🏾✨

Half a size down from Brannock?
Thanks for the info dude. I'm wondering which model to get and this helped a lot.
Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out my Swashbuckler boot video!!! It's my collaboration with Nick's. 🤜🏽⚡🤛🏽
@@NoblemansXchange will do! Thanks
Those look great!

THX
The leather is able to conform to your foot better with an unstructured toe.
@@NoblemansXchange THX for the reply
Do you find your toes don't have any wiggle room like you would with a structured toe?

The slightly more relaxed leather is now more easily able to stretch in the areas of your foot along the toe box and vamp where you need it most.
@@NoblemansXchange good to know
I would love to know what the Break-in was like.
Break in is minimal compared to taller boots like 8"+ tall shaft boots.
Isn't this the urban drifter?
Excellent review. Looking for a good camping/hiking boot to replace my Chippewas next year. Question: the arch on your review boots look moderate like the Urban Drifter, you sure those are loggers?
edit: my bad. I can see from the back of the heel these are indeed loggers. Great looking boots
Yes the Urban Logger is essentially a chopped down logger. Everything else is the same internally and below the shaft.
Do you have the soft toe on those or the hard toe? Thanks beautiful boot. Im hopeing to get my first pair sometime soon. Thanks
Celastic “structured” toe. Not to be confused with a hard or safety toe. 👍🏽⚡️👊🏽
@@NoblemansXchange ok cool! Thanks so much for replying back! I watched a few of ur videos and I enjoyed them. Thanks
I forgot to ask you. to you have the standard toe box or the tall one? Thanks
With this last is this essentially an Urban Drifter?
Yes the urban drifter utilizes the hnw last but I believe they use the block heel.
Oh man thanks for the very quick answer. I like the urban logger, but think that the look of the Urban Drifter is more versatile. Either way the boot will be 75% work
What conditioner are you using to get this patina?
The only conditioner I’ve ever used on these is by Canadian Bee Seal. All natural and smells excellent! 👍🏽
@@NoblemansXchange thank you. They’re aging beautifully
Hey Angel, how would you compare the brown waxed flesh with the walnut roughout on the urban loggers?
Yours look great! What products do you use to care for these?
Thank you! I use and highly recommend Canadian Bee Seal. All natural and smells fantastic.
hey thanks for the great review man. is there a boot you recommend for summer weather? moving to Mexico soon.

@@NoblemansXchange hey thanks I'll check those out
Nice on you! What color Urban boot?
Natural waxed flesh. 👍🏾
What do you apply to the belt to achieve the matching waxed flesh look?
The dye is a hand mixed formula a few different colors. The brand I use on my leathers is Rit®
How are the soles for driving ? ( I'm a
home at night truck Driver )
One of my favorite for driving. The lug soles I think are great especially in wet conditions. The 6" shaft makes foot to pedal adjustments easier than an 8" and more comfortable on long journeys in general. For long distance driving and hopping in/out of the cab. I recommend the Urban Logger for truck driving. 👍🏽⚡🤟🏽
@@NoblemansXchange good deal
I'm considering a pair ( just not sure about the measurement process )
@@johnhoward7298 have a look at Nick's Boots youtube channel they have a video and pdf print out with instructions that makes sizing very easy.
I don't need pull loops on my 10 inch builder pros. Pull loops are kinda unnecessary altogether
I like pull loops 🤷♂️
