Are you these guys? One techbro recommended these to me and my cofounder and I've never looked back. Your boots are going places, literally!

Yes, that's my family's business, I'm glad to hear you've had such great experiences. Similar to you, I've never looked back; every time I put on trail shoes I yearn for my boots again.

Your boots have withstood the Amazon forest and the floodwaters in Kerala, India, is all I'll say. Nothing more.

Purely anecdotal, but I know friends have used Nicks without issue. The basic advice I got was to buy jackets and leatherware from places in Washington and Oregon.
