Nick Blahcuzyn lived the American Dream when he established Nick's Custom
Boots in Spokane, Washington in 1964. Nick was a Russian who escaped
from Stalin's army during World War II. He immigrated to the United
States after the war and made his way to Washington State where he mastered
his skills as a boot craftsman from a famous Northwest boot maker.
Since the days of Blahcuzyn until today, Nick's Boots
has focused on one thing, and one thing alone -- to hand-build top quality
boots using only premium leathers, and time-tested, century-old craftsmanship
techniques passed on from generation to generation. As thousands of our
customers can attest, once you've tried a pair of hand-made Nick's Boots,
you'll never go back to mass-produced footwear again.
The
handmade boot world is a niche. To a boot maker, this means building one pair
of boots for one individual, and that individual becomes your customer for
life . . . provided your quality and the integrity of your workmanship is
there. We're marketing last century's technology, the craftsmanship
of a
century ago.
Originally, starting with a 1 to 2 man crew, Nick's now employs fifteen
with customers in the thousands located throughout the United States and with
the advent of the World Wide Web, the world.
Growth was and still is promoted by word of mouth. By utilizing national
magazine advertising campaigns, local radio and recently by use of the
internet, Nick's continues to grow. While maintaining a firm commitment to
high quality and customer service, at Nick's, we stand behind our boots,
because you're standing in them.
Nick's maintains a computerized and a written record of all purchases and
repairs to assist in future orders. The number of styles we offer has grown
steadily over the years branching out into almost all industries including the
six life styles. Please contact at nick@nicksboots.com
