Description

The Nicks Handmade Boot x Division Road Cognac Shackleton Western Rockabilly Boot is inspired by archival logging and work boots from the 1950s, refashioned with a casual western edge. Taking Nicks' classic 7" work boot pattern and customizing every detail possible from the panel pieces to the stitching design and all specifications, this is a limited edition style-forward collaboration with one of the finest makers in the Pacific Northwest. This exclusive-to-Division Road Western Rockabilly Boot uses a batch of Cognac Shackleton by Horween®, developed as a waterproof workboot leather with a natural finish and grain profile. Using full-weight steer hides in a tannage similar to Chromexcel, the Shackleton recipe incorporates a unique hand oiling and bending step to produce a durable, flexible, pull-up leather that develops a subtle patina and requires minimal maintenance. Molded on the vintage-inspired wildfire and logging 11067 Last, this boot provides a sprung, rounded toe with a moderate profile and gripped waist and heel, making it a style-forward, fully functional, outdoor-appropriate, and intrinsically lifetime build. It is complemented by a fully gusseted brown leather tongue and leather-coordinated Nicks Handmade Boots x Division Road false tongues. With a design-centric approach to utility, our custom stitching configurations are complemented by brass eyelets, a brown-stained and finished leather midsole, and a sculpted logger heel, atop a reproduction Dr. Sole Supergrip split sole, assembled with stitchdown construction by Nicks craftspeople in Spokane, Washington. This Division Road style perspective on Nicks' 60-year tradition highlights the use of proven methods, high-quality materials, and a steadfast dedication to excellence to create a work boot that mirrors the wearer.
