Another great video, Lucas; thank you for continuing to put out such informative content. Of all your soles, my favorites are the Red-X, V-Bar, and 430, although I plan to order a pair with your proprietary wedge soles this year. I do want to give a special plug for the Red-X, though, because I think it's an incredible option for every motorcyclist on the road (niche, I realize, but I want to spread the word on safety). In addition to being fire-rated, its oil-resistant properties are unmatched. For motorcyclists, lug soles are critical for gravel, and Red-X checks this box. More critically, every time a biker comes to a stop and puts his/her foot/feet down, it's inevitable they're stepping on oiled, greasy, nasty asphalt. I can't tell you how many times I've been grateful that Nick's offers the Red-X because without it on my boots, I know there have been times where I could've lost footing and down I would have gone with an 800+ bike ready to make me its beeyotch. With respect to its fire-rated properties, this matters most especially for Harley and/or Indian riders. Inadvertently place your boots on your hot exhaust, and hello Swiss Melt soles; but with the Red-X, no issues - you're protected. I'd love to see an option for the Vibram White-X, even if there'd be an upcharge, because I've read that its anti-slip properties are also legit on icy roads. Thanks again, dude!

Are we going to see half soles coming back? Would love to see a Vbar and 430 half option back in the line up. Maybe Dr. Sole. 😊

Bring back the 2021, and look into bringing in the white x both are my favorites and in my opinion the 2 best from Vibram.

Still don’t get why not Danite or Vibram Eton for heritage boots. RIP quabag heel

[ericmojica]

you mention the red x and wedge soles are oil resistance, are any other ones?

How does the 2021 Sand wedge compare to the Nicks Wedge in terms of longevity and durability?

[jonathancruz]

Why not just make a new video without the discontinued options??? 🤔

Please do not use Quabaug heel caps to match any Vibram soles anymore, this combination is very ugly!!! Give us the original Vibram heel cap!

You need to stop using those dainite heels on your heritage boots. They look very mismatched.
