After 113,821 steps (167,309 total) these Nicks are cleaned and ready for the next work week! BuilderPro HD Last: 55 Length: 9.0 Width: D Leather: 1964 Brown Style: Smooth Height: 10" Outsole: V100 Lug Sole Heal: Logger Toe: Composite 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!

Received my second pair of Nicks Boots last week, put in 53,488 steps in them.

For those new here, I've been documenting my maintenance journey with my first pair of Nicks Boots, and I will be doing the same with these. 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'll be curious to see how these hold up, and hope y'all enjoy the journey with me!

For those new here, these are my first pair of 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 document my journey giving before and after pics from worked boots to cleaned boots.

Today's post includes the usual before & afters, a look at the condition of the soles, and all the cleaning products I have for anything between a light cleaning to a full restoration.

These boots will be resting for the next couple of weeks as I break-in a new pair I recently received. Posts on those coming soon!

Hope y'all continue to enjoy this journey with me.

Today's post is a light cleaning, no soap or conditioner, just nylon & horsehair brushes, warm water, and a rag. Next time I perform a deep cleaning, I will show all the products used.

Hope y'all continue to enjoy this journey with me and know that I do read and appreciate all the comments I receive!

For those new here (which should be almost everyone) these are my first pair of 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 will be documenting my journey week-by-week (unfortunately not this next week as I'll be traveling) giving before and after pics from worked boots to cleaned boots.

I greatly appreciate all the support and comments I received on my previous post, and hope y'all continue to enjoy this journey with me!

Received my first pair of Nicks Boots last week, put in about 30 hours of work in them.

I work at a concrete recycling landfill, so this will be the ultimate test of Nicks' durability. I walk on rubble, up and down concrete chunks 9+ hours a day. So far the break-in has been better than anticipated, no pain, just a bit of stiffness when walking up steep inclines.

I will be posting weekly pics of my boots before and after cleaning (with the exception of weekends I'm traveling). Today's post is a before and after of them brand new to 30 hours in. I will post a before and after tomorrow when they get their first cleaning.

Hope y'all enjoy the journey with me!
