While these are the same hide, with many of the same properties, there are some subtle differences. The roughout leather will hide more abrasion and scratches than smooth leather will. If you’re looking to fix scuffs on your boots, consider switching to roughout on the lower portion of your Nicks. Here at Nicks, we pioneered this style of leather configuration, giving it the name: Hot Shot style. This is not only a favorite on the fireline, but has become a bestselling configuration for general purpose work boots. If you're hunting for the best boots around, look no further!
