In this episode of From Start to Finish, we dive into the fascinating history of why boots from the Pacific Northwest (PNW) have high heels. From the historical context of when and why men started and stopped wearing heels, to the functional benefits of heeled boots for loggers, wildland firefighters, linemen, and arborists, we cover it all. We also discuss the importance of arch support and how it helps in rough terrains. Join us as we explore the evolution of boots and their significance in various demanding jobs.

Shoe lasts or boot lasts are some of the most important tools in making boots. Every boot is stretched around the last to give it both its shape and size. At Nicks, we have thousands of lasts, allowing a precise fit to be achieved every time. If you’re tired of boots that are wide enough, narrow enough, or the right length, look no further. When you invest in Nicks, you’ve invested in the best. Nicks Boots in Spokane Washington has been making the toughest handmade boots since 1964.

Henry was a late entry to our Contender Championship, but arguably the strongest entry! 

"As a young boy I always dressed up as a cowboy, and dreamed of being a mountain man, like Jeremiah Johnson. Running around the house with some cap guns pretending to be the Sundance kid.
This past summer I was blessed with the opportunity to fulfill that dream, riding in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains! While I didn’t learn to rob trains and banks, I did learn to ride, made everlasting friendships, and learned to appreciate the western lifestyle.
This brings me to my nicks boots, which carried me each and every day, without a lick of an issue. The steep price tag was a small investment for what I hope to be a lifetime of enjoyment. My nicks were definitely the punchiest boots around, and workhorses to go with that flash!
I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone at nicks for helping me on my journey to becoming a real life cowboy! And if you’re wondering, hell yeah I can ride, I was ridin when I fell off!"
