I’ve gotta say, something I really enjoy in these kinds of videos is seeing the diversity in your employees, the fact that it’s not all just mid 30’s white men, the way a lot of companies are these days. You guys have all different kinds of people working there and it’s one of the biggest reasons outside of the product itself that I love supporting Nicks (and recommending them wherever I can) but not only that, I really enjoy catching the snippets of conversation because it’s a neat little reminder that everyone that works there is a real person, with a life outside of work, and goals and things they enjoy, and are not just corporate, capitalist machines, it really adds to the humanity of the company and reinforces the whole idea of it being a family rather than a job and a workplace. Keep it strong, keep it true!
@@Waldemarvonanhalt a valid and understandable point of view, but as someone who is in a minority, and one who doesn’t get much representation in media at that, it’s nice to see some diversity
I wish you guys would show a typical resole. Everything is always either dry rotted or about 2 years past a safety officer kicking you off the job site. One of the “problems” with a Nicks boot is that it is legitimately still working great when other boots would have been thrown in the garbage months or even years ago. But it might need maintenance. I think I probably should have put new heel caps on back in about August, but I didn’t know that I should have. But then again I’m not all the way to the nails, so I don’t know. I understand that you need people to watch or producing a video is a waste of time, but I use the videos as a resource.
Great comeback yet a little cleaning and conditioner would have made the boots even more of a looker also helping to maintain the leather on the shaft!
@Kalidog101 it’s also the fact that you’ve got your upper that you’ve already broken in if you’re doing a rebuild, so it also saves having to go through the whole break in process again, they still (more or less) fit exactly like they did before the rebuild, so it’s also a comfort thing as opposed to purely cost
@@CesarTorres-fz8fv I received them a few days ago. They were one of the quick ship options. This is my second pair of Nicks, and yes, they are the standard.
Camera was a bit close on those close-ups, couldn't really make out what I was looking at except old leather. A bit too dark on other shots. On the gusset patching wouldn't one big patch like you did on the one boot be better than the 2 small ones on the other ? I think it will stand up better over time. Yeah I know , complain....complain....hahahaha 😁 Armchair boot maker here.😊
I don’t understand the rebuild, you replace everything but the upper, why? The upper doesn’t need to stay broken in, it’s the sole that breaks in, and forms to the foot. Why go through all that, just to save the least important part. Waste of time and money if you ask me.
It's cheaper for the customer to have Nick's rebuild his boots than to buy a new pair. A rebuild is $300 as where a brand new pair is about $550. So you save about $250 going this route.
As others have said, a rebuild of everything below the uppers is much cheaper than a new boot. However, I ‘ve heard from several people they will refuse to rebuild a boot in this condition. I believe this is more of a demonstration of what they can do, not what they will do.
I don't know what the owner of those boots does for a living, but he is lucky to have you guys working for him.
Just superb craftsmanship! Thanks.

The boots could've been made by a team of exclusively Swedish-looking old guys and I'd still buy it if it was good stuff.

Fascinating, once again. Thanks for the new close-ups, too. It sure let me have a much better view of what's actually happening!
hello to France, extrémement pédagogique de voir des prises de vue si grosse et en détail, on comprend mieux la construction! superbe!
Them boots gave a whole new meaning to rough out boots lol
Wow. Absolutely amazing. I will be checking on how to get me a pair.!
This was different, I personally liked the closeups 🤘
i always waiting your update videos...
How old were they?
I'm curious why you didn't stich the outsole on like you do with new books?
Depends on the model.
20:03 it almosts looked as if they were putting it on a barbeque rack.
Chique show 👍👍!!!

real nice work.

How many man hours does it take to do a rebuild and how many man hours does it take to make a brand new boot?
Good question

Nice work.
Hola , que arte felicidades por el canal .
Some high end production going on here now
How much does the Repair cost?
Great stuff. But there's so little left of the old boot.
Interesting video.
What was he doing hammering that hunk of rebar on this inside of the boot?
Please use a white background instead of black for the before/after. So hard to see
Welcome insta peeps 🤘🏻
Everything is new but the ragged upper with holes in it! I usually don’t say this but get some new boots this is not worth it.
I am sure you can save them but would also like to receive the boots I ordered and I have paid for 2 months ago. Thanks!
You're just at the start of your wait! Even says that when you order! 16-24 weeks! But is well worth the wait. Nothing compares to these boots.

i would saddle stitch by hand those uppers.
They are expensive enough, thanks.
Too dark can’t see I’m sure it’s nice tho
Nice work! But I'm not sure if this falls under a restoration when most of the materials were replaced.
How far gone can they be if it takes that much work to take them apart? LOL. Just kidding you guys make some great boots
Whom ever was wearing these boots better make sure that they have an up to date tetanus shot
Ver y ver y good
Ridiculous. You get them back and a week later that crispy tongue gets another hole or one of the eyes pull out. Get some new boots.
Wrong. Stop lying.
If you’re pulling out an eyelet, you are doing it wrong.
Those boots didn't come apart easy

Video is too close up. Hard to tell what we're looking at.. You sell $600 boots. Do you really have to enable the ads like that? Makes you look greedy
Except these boots are WORTH $600. Cry some more.
Er.... why keep any of it? Seems like you replaced 95% of the boot.... huh?
It's cheaper for the customer to have Nick's rebuild his boots than to buy a new pair. A rebuild is $300 as where a brand new pair is about $550. So you save about $250 going this route.
A nicks upper that’s already broken in to your feet/legs is invaluable.
Having broken in uppers is a big plus. It really shortens the time in getting the new boots comfortable.
As others have said, a rebuild of everything below the uppers is much cheaper than a new boot. However, I ‘ve heard from several people they will refuse to rebuild a boot in this condition. I believe this is more of a demonstration of what they can do, not what they will do.
Camera not that good on this video. Thanks for posting though
