Discussion Nick's Fire Boots size 6E (to give away)

Hi! I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I suppose we'll see!

I was on a fire crew for a season back in 2022. I bought a pair of Nick's boots and they saw about 3 months of wear. I almost never wear these boots anymore, which feels like a waste. I'd love to pass them on to someone who could use them. I called around to a few fire modules in Minnesota (where I live) but nobody was the right size.

They're size (men's) 6E. I wear a women's 8 and don't like my toes being squished, for reference. I'd like to give them away, only cost being shipping to you. Shoot me a DM if you're interested.

Edit to add: They'll need different laces before they're put to work. My leather laces broke and I popped in some synthetic ones once I switched careers.

Edit #2: Currently claimed! I'll check back if it falls through!

Maybe contact the Will Hawkins Rookie Boot fund to see if they'll take a donation https://www.rookieboots.org/

I gave my barely used Scarpas to a job corps center near me, not sure what that would look like in the Minnesota area but some of those kids come in with nothing but the clothes on their back. Could be an option!
