Got these in the sale a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful boots but not something I see myself going to over my other black boots. Figured I would give someone a chance at a great price as they are back to $510 on the site. Trades would be welcome however my size varies based on brand and last. (yeah I am one of those) In Truman 13D in casual 12.5 D in work. PNW boots depends on last. Will ship CONUS for $320. I take PP and ship UPS. photos taken outside in bright sunlight They will appear darker inside.

SOLD. Like new Truman Black Waxed Flesh Casual last 12.5 EE. Complete Wyatt and Dad makeover. I bought these like this but realize the 13D is a better fit for me. This price is less than Wyatt and Dad probably charged for the work they did to make this boot like a Whites Smoke jumper. I will never try to make money when I get a deal from another member so someone will get very lucky here like I did. $265 shipped.

These are my second pair of Whites. First pair are Chore Boots in 13D. These are from eBay barely worn, Bakers Bounty Hunters and they are tanks. I went with the 12.5 EE based on Whites chart and my measurements. First pic shows them tight and the quarter are all but touching. Interesting thing is my heel is locked down and the ball of my foot is where it should be. No slop. This is my first 55 last and I have a medium natural arch so I figured it would be tight on top, but nope. I am afraid a 12.5 E will take away just enough that my surgically repaired big toe might rub. So I put in two false tongues that I had laying around and that fixed everything. proper spacing and still no slop anywhere. I have since ordered from Dales Leather works some new false lounges in the same Natural CXL. These things are way overbuilt but feel fantastic on the feet. Took a 2 mile walk with the dogs this morning up and down hills no pain, no issues.

This is for sure my happy spot in lasts with my jacked up toe. TTS TNW. These will break in quickly. I wish Nicks had more TNW last options in the ready to ship or quick ship categories.

TRADED. Finally realized the 13D works better for my jacked up big toe in Parkhurst boots. So these are my last 12.5 D in the 602 last. Like new, awesome leather from CF Stead. Not broken in yet. No factory box but will be safely packed for shipping. $210 shipped CONUS Willing to look at trades of similar condition boots.

FS 12.5D Tobacco Snakebite Plain Toe. Lightly worn I need a 12.5 EE because of a surgically repaired toe. So these will just sit. They sold out right away last month. Awesome pull up on these. (boot trees not included) flat and leather laces. $220 shipped CONUS I might be interested in a trade for 12.5 EE. I pack well and ship quickly.

So it has been over a month since I started wearing other than RW IR. Something changed in my foot and they felt tight in the toe box. I have several manufacturers Nicks, Truman, Parkhurst, Jim Green. In Trumans I started out 1/2 size down from my 13D Brannock . Cap toe was a no go way too tight on my right big toe. The plain toes were ok for a while but now are starting to squeeze the big toe as well. I went with a 12EE in Truman cap toe and all is good there (for now). Parkhurst the 618 is too tight but the 602 1/2 size down. works. I have a pair of Nicks x PH collab and they seem ok for now as well.

SO lets get to Nicks With all of my research calling Nicks several times and following there sizing chart. I ordered an MTO in a 12.5D in the TNW last. I like toe room and this seemed logical. They are months out from being built, so I ordered a quick ship Gamebreaker in the same last and size they still are a couple of months out as well. Having no patience to wait I came across a lightly worn pair of Americana’s in 13D HNW. The price was right and I felt I could find someone they would work for if they did not work for me. Well the heal and waist are perfect but the right big toe rubs the side . The 13 length is not an issue at all in fact on the MTO when my window opens I may change to a 13D in the TNW. unfortunately the QS pair does not allow changes so if they don't fit they will be returned and reordered.

So my. question is this will the TNW give me enough toe room or should I ignore the size chart and just bump everything to an E width. I have been lucky that I have bought everything as new or barely worn while I embark on the sizing rollercoaster at huge savings. So I can recoup most of my money on flipping those that don't fit right. I like to think there is the right fit out there. My Jim Greens are Brannock TTS and have been great out of the box.

I guess that is enough of a rant. Hopefully someone else out there can relate and offer an opinion. Thanks for listening. And keep an eye out because several pairs from multiple makers will be listed soon. Including these beautiful Americana's pictured here.

TRADE PENDING. Barely worn. I purchased these in Excellent used condition and they remain that. They are just to tight for my liking. I have a surgically repaired big toe on the right foot and it throws all sizing out the door for me. So everything is trial and error. Beautiful CF Stead leather (my favorite) I am not opposed to trades for someone who bought 13D and they are too large. Or maybe a 12.5 wide. These are priced to give someone else a chance at a like new great boot. $210 shipped CONUS. I do not have the original box but they will be well packed.

The boot that started the addiction (or illness)lol. Nicks x Parkhurst Collaboration. I now have one MTO in and a QS, along with a EUC pair arriving tomorrow. Happy Anniversary Nicks!

I got these on Nicks Marketplace. Barely worn black waxed flesh Truman casual last The kicker is the Wyatt and Dad resole V100 with thick leather midsole. I was worried it might be too much heel for me, but now that they are in hand and on they may be just fine. I have come across some deals in the past, but this might be the best one yet.
