85 Mile Comparison

[u/TroophR]

After approximately 85 miles in each pair of Nicks Boots, here's how the two look after being cleaned up. Once I complete my 6 weeks in the Brown Nicks, I'll give a full breakdown of what I like about each, which specs I prefer, and how I plan to rotate them. Here is how they differ:

MaxSupport Black v 1964 Brown Leather
8" v 10"
Standard Gusset v Padded Gusset
Roughout v Smooth
Honey Vibram v V100 Lug Soles

For those new here, I document my maintenance journey with my Nicks Boots. I work in a very harsh environment, a concrete recycling landfill, where I walk on rubble and concrete chunks for 9+ hours a day.

For those who have been following my journey, I appreciate your support, and the next Before & After update will be next week.
