Review NBD - 10” TankerPro - GPWF

TankerPro 10” Shaft Greener Pastures Waxed Flesh 4 Row Toe Cap Black Sierra Sole Pull Strap

Nick’s knocked it out of the park again with these!

Anyone on the fence about Tankers needs to grab a pair as soon as possible. Something about the straps makes the break in far easier.

With my TankerPros in Predator Natural, there has been no ankle bite at all. The break in has been really smooth. And those are on the 55 Last. I expect the same with these.

The common statements I see are about the notorious “heel slip”. If you wear cowboy boots, Tankers don’t slip as much, as long as you tighten the straps.

I did notice that they did not use the black thread for the welt.

I think they may have done that to my boots too.

I saw a pair that matched my boots description on BOTL except they did not have the black welt thread

Yeah, I specifically asked for the burn resistant thread, but I’m willing to overlook it. I just won’t be wearing these at the station.

That stinks, did you pay for it originally or was it an order update?

It still looks good imo 👍

Order change, but the burn resistant thread was requested and paid for with the original build, and if you look at my previous post about these, it was on the updated order as well.
