Having watched several of your boot reviews at this point, I must say, that I truly appreciate the intellectual fashion, and wholly practical manor, in which you approach the explanation, and presentation of each piece in question. Your "even-handed" tone, combined with a strong sense of direction, narratively speaking, help to guide the listener through each episode, with full comprehension achieved. Excellent work, IMHO. And thank you for sharing. Best wishes.......

I have a pair of Nicks Urban Drifters. I ment to wear them only on hikes but I now wear them at work because I like to go on walks during my break. Had them on for a year and they are very comfortable. It’s hard not to wear them. I’m thinking about ordering a second pair. I also have 2 Truman boots that I use on an everyday basis and they’re my go to boots for when I’m not at work. They’re all tough boots that can get beat up and often get compliments before and after clean up. The Truman’s were quicker to break in than the Nicks. Both are a dream the wear, comfortable and are holding up fantastic. Highly recommend both companies.

The one good thing about more spacing in the stitching, is it allows for the boot to be rebuilt more times than the Viberg. When you have that many holes in the leather, it causes more damage when you try to rebuild them, which affects its strength over time.

Gosh, our feet are so different aren’t they? Also ONE style of boot CAN be different in itself. Apparently it depends on the leather (how easily it stretches over the last), the time of day (warmer means stretchier), the varying strength of the person if hand lasted!

Lovely boots but I'm not tempted anymore 🙂.. I've decided that I don't want (I've never needed them) any more overly rugged, heavy and overbuilt casual boots to walk to the shops or take the dog around the local park or woodland trails. Stuff like Thursday boots and nicely cushioned Vibram Christy soled boots make more sense. Maybe wearing UK size 12 also contributes to that. And for hiking on rougher ground, proper (leather) hiking boots from Meindl, Scarpa etc make more sense for me. I'm not yet at the stage where I'm going to let my Vibergs or Grant Stones go though.

Hi Teik, I was watching this again after my version of these boots arrived... Something was nagging me about mine, and I have realized what it is. Your brown CXL and my British Tan CXL are exactly the same color. I mean exactly. I recycled my shipping box, so I can't refer to the marking they do on the outside. My email for the order definitely says British Tan CXL, but I'm wondering at this point that I might have received brown CXL. Not that I am unhappy in any way, they look very nice. It's just weird. Maybe batches vary in color, but mine are quite dark brown.
@Bootlosophy

That’s weird, British Tan CXL is definitely tan, but a year ago I got a comment on my British Tan CXL Whites MP review that their version looked “browner” so maybe both Whites and Nicks screw their orders now and then or CXL batches get screwy

Nice review. I like the looks of the boot. You said that that they are similar to the Whites MP boot, which I have. From what I saw on the video the Falcon has a sharper (more dressy) toe box than the Whites MP. Would say that is true or is it about the same? I like my Whites MPs, but I do like a dressier look to my boots.

@@BootlosophyI have seen some promo photos of recent Nicks boots with tighter stitching. I expect they'll be offering that as part of their more upscale line due Q4 this year. Meanwhile, I understand the Rapid Es are great machines for pounding through 100-lug soles and double veg-tan midsoles on work boots all day, but not capable of stitching as fine as a Landis, much less the newer Italian machines Viberg use. Meanwhile, dress shoe makers poking holes with awls can go even finer on show pieces. Long story short, I think it's all looks. Your V-Bars aren't coming off unless someone goes at them with tools.

Nicks claims the machine stitch is more watertight and durable. While a higher SPI certainly looks nicer, I do feel like it would result in fewer resoles, due to the number of holes already in the leather. The biggest reason I'm ok with them not doing hand stitching it is to help protect their workers long term health though!
