But because of their huge popularity and commendable engagement with their consumer base, Nicks has released a lot of "compromise boots" that balance PNW builds with the everyday city guy. The Americana, in my opinion, is their best offering. 00:00 Nicks Americana - the best PNW boot?  00:55 What's a Pacific Northwest boot? 01:36 Nicks Urban Logger vs Americana 03:40 stitchdown vs goodyear welts 04:51 Nicks Handmade Boots leather content 05:25 why a leather shank? 06:21 Nicks Americana toebox 07:27 Nicks Handmade boots widths 08:19 Nicks boots customization 09:15 Nicks boots transparency 09:50 Nicks Boots price 10:43 Nicks boots aren't versatile 11:23 Nicks boots break in 12:06 Nicks boots quality control
