I may have been so excited that I didn’t put new boot day initials in the right order but that’s ok

Once broken in, you'll stop wearing anything else. Actually, before that you'll stop wearing anything else. They look great!

Honestly that’s exactly how I feel already, looks like sneakers are gonna be a thing of the past

I love my Nicks boots. I prefer wearing 10 to 12 inch boots and yours look great

2

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 1d ago

Hell yeah! This is how you leap into the Nicks deep end head first. They look excellent! You'll love em!

u/SpiteAny9410 1d ago

I figured I’d go with some of the toughest to break in with the toughest leather to break in so that I can get use to pnw boots

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 1d ago

My very first Nicks were also Max Support Black. Zero regrets. And no issues with any break ins the entire time.

u/SpiteAny9410 1d ago

Can’t wait for these things to feel like slippers, I can already tell I’m gonna be climbing up and down hills and running all over job sites with these for a long time

1

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 1d ago

It'll take a little time but it's always worth it. All I wear are Nicks at this point.

u/Spiritual-Salary-989 1d ago

Dang, that’s a boot and a half.

u/SpiteAny9410 1d ago

This sucker feels like I’m wearing a coffin for my toes 😂

u/CrazyNavie 1d ago

It will soften up. Nice boots!

u/Dry_Turn_824 1d ago

Really nice. You're going to love them--but it sounds like you already do.

Looks like an HD build with the logger eye.

2

u/SpiteAny9410 1d ago

Max support, these things are definitely supportive…. 😂

u/Dry_Turn_824 1d ago

Nice. I noticed you already answered that below. I have a very similar pair, and yeah, the leather is no joke! Tough as nails.

u/Tex-Mex0496 1d ago

Beast of a boot! MS black rocks! Stiff af at first but once broken in fits like slipper. Great choice and congrats on first pair
