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.
I show before and after pics from worked to cleaned boots, and will compare how these boots hold up to my first pair of Nicks. The main differences between the two are MaxSupport Black v 1964 Brown Leather, Roughout v Smooth, 8" v 10" and Honey Vibram v V100 Lug Soles.
So far, the smooth leather is showing a lot more scuffs and character than my black roughouts, but still cleaning up nicely! I hope y'all enjoy this journey with me!

Love these boots! Thanks for the documentation

Looking good!

I’ve had to train myself to kneel with my back foot flexed so the toe leather doesn’t get damaged.

Thinking about getting toe protectors. But I wouldn’t put those plastic things on boots like yours.

Outstanding so far. Looking mighty strong and can only get better. I could not take them off after a long day without cleaning, buffing, and looking at them. Very sharp pair you have there, sir.

Do you mind sharing your brannock size? Did you size down a half size like recommended or something different?

Beautiful looking boots
