Nicks' boots represent exceptional handmade quality. The Hotshot design is becoming one of the most popular boots, with black roughout vamps (toe-piece), and heel counters with black smooth uppers. Hand-lasted and hand-sewn for unprecedented fit, feel, and durability. All leather high-arch construction. Completely rebuildable. The Hotshot, named after the elite wildland firefighting crews of the west, has proven itself reliable on the fire line, as well as in other extreme conditions that today's workmen put their boots through. 10" top full Vibram slug soles and solid brass hooks and eyes.
