Best Work Boots for Hiking, Hunting, and Everyday Outdoor Use
“Most comfortable PNW“
★★★★★"Love my PNW boots. Own many from the other popular vendors. These OT's were my first from JK. Bison leather and Honey Vibram soles were also a first for me. Everything was perfect. Communicating directly with JK, they helped me get the fit correct. Delivery was quicker than any other PNW boots I previously purchased. And the boots were great. Not a stitch out of place. The Bison leather was thick yet incredibly supple. And the 11EE size fit my foot perfectly. Firm, tight fit through the waist. Hugged my heel securely and a relaxed fit through the toe box. Able to wiggle my toes comfortably yet still hugging the ***** of my feet.
Put them on and immediately went for a 3 mile walk through the trails behind my house and wore them the rest of the day. Broken in feel from Day 1. Never felt a need to take them off.
I know most of JK's boots are made for work boots. I am just a person who prefers boots for the aesthetics. Love the look and feel of the OT'S and will likely purchase other OT'S in other unique leathers. Understand they are now made in 360 stitchdown which likely is better and more durable but extremely happy with it's former construction. "
“Best thing I've ever done to my feet“
★★★★★"Best footwear I've ever had in my life. Well worth the money... minimal break in, super high quality. They feel good on my feet, and my feet hold a lot of pain. Whether walking around town, driving, riding my motorcycle, whatever I'm doing I enjoy wearing them. "
“My new ranch boot“
★★★★★"I'm a retired logger/arborist who for back reasons can no longer wear a higher logger/climbing type heel. The OT boot is the perfect boot for me around my ranch. Be it hiking in these mountains, cutting firewood or just walking my dogs these boots are top quality and break in was minor. Very satisfied to have found JK boot and now wondering what my next pair will be. "
“Amazing boots“
★★★★★"I ordered these boots along with a pair of forefront early last spring and received them in the middle of the summer. JK boots is a great company to work with, and were always very responsive when I called and had questions. They even called after I received them, to check on their fit, and see if I had any concerns.
These boots leather is so supple and yet feel so thick that breaking them in seemed so easy. The fit is fantastic, and they are extremely durable as well as comfortable.
During the hot summer months here in the south the temps are really hot, so I primarily wore them when walking the woods, and preparing the hunting property during their break in period. Since is is now getting cooler, I have been wearing them far more than any other boot or shoe that I own.
They look great even when dirty. Getting the rough out, it is really nice to not have to polish them all the time to keep their looks up.
I originally bout these to replace a pair of Danners and my old jump boots that I have been wearing since my military days.
They are heavier that my other boots, as expected, and they do not have that “tennis shoe” feel of my worn out Danner’s., and my Merrill’s. These are boots, and feel and fit like boots should.
These have definitely replaced all of my other work shoes and boots. Everything from wearing them out around town, wearing them for working in my shop on all my projects, to wearing them while doing yard work. These have replaced all of my others for working. "
“Great priced handmade boots“
★★★★★"The tean from JK was easy to work with. The boots are awesome. They look great as well. I use them for working as well as leisure, hiking, fishing. "
“Happy Feet!!! “
★★★★★"Love my 10” Western Packers , spent Fathers Day in the High Uinta National forest here Utah, had a great day with friends and family! Everyday they get better and better! Trust the process! "
“1000+ plus miles “
★★★★★"What an amazing boot! I have put 1000+ miles on these boots working in a manufacturing facility from welding, powder coating, sheet metal, inside and outside. along with 200 miles of hiking, hunting and everyday use."
“Best Riding and Ranch Boots“
★★★★★"Love my green Bison Raptors. I bought them because I needed an 8-inch boot, I love bison leather and of course JK Boots keep my arthritic feet and ankles stable and happy. I eagerly awaited their arrival and immediately put them on and went for a 100 mile motorcycle ride. I use my other pair for the more rigorous ranch chores in part because the wedge sole is easier to clear of mud and manure. I’ve had White’s and Wescos over the years. All were serviceable, but none so comfortable and easy to break in as my JKs. Please don’t ever sell to Justin Brands or another venture capital group. I strive to support small craftsmen and women making top quality products. "
“Wow, I'm Impressed!!!“
★★★★★"I just got them today, and my 1st impression is very, very positive. I'm a 10D, and ordered a full size down. They looked kinda narrow, but my foot slid right in - snug, but not too tight. The arch support feels fantastic. Despite feeling slightly snug on my instep, I have plenty of wiggle room for my toes, and I really can't feel any noticeable heal lift. For a brand new boots that are so beefy, they are very comfortable. I'll be using these mostly for hunting, and they look like they will great for off-trail, cross country trekking. I am going to add a pair kilties to take the lace pressure off the tongues. "
“Awesome all purpose boots!“
★★★★★"Really enjoying my 300X boots they are lighter weight, still provides me with all the protection I need while on the shop floor at work and I can wear them hiking and camping. Great all around boot, if you looking to get into PNW boots or just want a boot that will really do it all that is built to last this is it. Looking forward to my next purchase of either a wedge sole version of the 300 or the O.T. bison leather."
