Nick's Handmade Boots

Compared these to the pair I had from a supermarket, and the difference is clear. The leather is thicker and the inside feels softer on my feet. The one thing that let it down a bit was the delivery window, which felt longer than the page suggested.

I've been buying from them for about six years now, mostly for my husband but I've got a pair of their walking boots too. The stitching has held up beautifully and I had one pair resoled last spring which took a couple of weeks to come back, a bit longer than I'd like. Prices have crept up a little but they're still fair for what you get.

I needed a sturdy pair for long walks in the Peak District and these handle wet paths well. I know leather boots well and the stitching here is solid. The fit is comfortable from the start.

Compared to the pair I got from a high street chain last year, these feel far more solid. The sole is thicker and the lining doesn't bunch up. Happy with them so far.

I'd been looking at a few places on the high street and online, and these came in noticeably cheaper than the big brand I usually wear, while the leather looks just as decent. The stitching is neat and the soles seem sturdy enough for daily wear. I'll see how they hold up through winter before I judge the wear properly, but for the price I'm happy enough so far.

My old pair finally gave up after a decade of gardening, so I needed something sturdy for wet ground. These have a good grip and the leather is thick enough to keep the damp out. Ordering was straightforward.

I compared a few makers before choosing these, and they came out ahead on fit and finish. The leather is soft but firm, and I found the sizing guide easy to follow. Delivery was prompt and nothing was damaged.

Ordered the brown work boots on Tuesday, arrived Friday. Fit is good but the laces are a bit short so I've had to order some longer ones off Amazon. Otherwise fine for site work.

I needed a decent pair of work boots after my old ones split at the seam, and I wanted something that would last a few seasons. These were a good fit for site work and they're comfortable from the first day. The order was simple and everything came through as described.

Bought these as my second pair of Goodyear welted boots and the welt is cut neatly with no glue showing at the edge. Sizing was a touch snug in the toe box so I'd go up half a size from my usual. Leather is a bit stiffer than I'd like for the first couple of weeks but it's coming round.

I needed a pair of boots for the allotment that would handle mud and wet grass. These are decent enough, but they took a bit longer to break in than I'd hoped, and the price is on the higher side for what you get. Delivery was fine.

Got the leather work boots for my new job on the building site. Been wearing them every day for three weeks and the toe cap is holding up, the soles are grippy on wet concrete and they're not too stiff. Ordered Monday, arrived Wednesday, no complaints.

The first thing I noticed was the stitching round the sole, it's proper welted and not glued which I didn't expect at this price. Ordering was easy and they arrived in about four days. The leather has a nice weight to it and they're already softening up nicely after a few wears around town.

Got a pair of black ankle boots for the autumn. They look smart with jeans and the heel is a comfortable height. The zip is smooth and I've worn them all day without any rubbing.

These are the best boots I've owned in years, and I've bought from plenty of makers. The leather has aged well and the fit has stayed comfortable through a full year of wear. Still my first choice for everyday use.

I looked at a few options before settling on these, and they were the best value for a handmade pair. Fit is sorted with the guide and the leather is nice and supple. Delivery came early.

I am delighted with the leather boots I ordered. The fit is generous through the toe and the heel stays put. The order was handled promptly and the boots arrived in good condition.

Bought a pair of chelsea boots for the autumn and they fit true to size. The leather feels solid already and the elastic sides are snug without being tight. Checkout was quick and I'd order from them again.

Compared to the Clarks I usually get, these cost a bit less and the leather feels just as good, though I've only had them a fortnight so ask me again in a year. The order took four days to reach me which was fine, but the size guide was a bit vague so I went up half a size and they're a touch roomy.

The hand-stitched welt is the first thing I noticed when they arrived, and it's clearly done by someone who knows what they're doing. I've had boots from several makers over the years, and the leather conditioning has worn in nicely. The heel is replaceable, which I'd want for something built to last. Nicely packed, too, with a dust bag and a little care card. Delivery was quick and the boots came without a scuff.
