I have had 2 pair of Nick’s Forester boots of which I have already had one pair rebuilt after wearing the sole out. I have to say that they are much better than any other factory boots that I have bought including Redwings (although the redwings were pretty good). I am in the field of Wildland Fire fighting and have given these boots a true test from the Mountains of NC (Home), to Nevada, and everywhere between. They make a tough boot although you pay$$$ for it. Another brand to consider is Drew’s Boots which makes boots like nicks but slightly less expensive. I had a pair of Drew’s when I first started Wildland fire fighting and was as fully satisfied with them as I am with the Nicks. I only wear Nicks now due to my place of work supplying them.
