Can You Wear JK Boots After Work? 10 Customers Who Wear Theirs Everywhere
If you're like most people, you probably can't wait to get your work boots off as soon as you get home. If you own a pair of JK Boots, your experience might be a little different. Here are ten reviews that answer the questions people ask before buying boots that look as good as they work: can you keep wearing them after work, can you dress them up, can they handle what you do on your own time, and how do they age?
Can you keep wearing them after work?
Yes, and some even bought a second pair just for that.
Ordered a custom pair for weekends so he could stop wearing his dirty work Superdutys out of the house.
"Decided on a pair of customs to wear on the weekends so I could stop wearing my dirty, work redwood Superdutys. They came out amazing, fit perfectly and feel like they're already broken in after a couple of trips out of the house, I know they'll only get better. Second pair of boots from jk and I'm extremely happy with both."
Wears them to work and play, 40+ hours a week.
"Magnificent boots. Wear them everyday to work and play. Craftsmanship is amazing, the fit is perfect, been a whites fan since early 2000s made the switch to JK and haven't looked back... I Wear these boots 40+ hours a week."
Can you dress them up?
A dinner in Europe, church after a long shift, a night on the dance floor.
Wanted a single pair for a trip to Europe that could go with shorts or dress up for dinner.
"I received the forefront 2 weeks before heading out to Europe. I wanted a single pair of shoes that I could wear with shorts or be able to dress up for a dinner. I was a little concerned with the break-in but there really was none. I wore them a couple of times before my trip and then walked all over Europe and had zero issues."
Works 12 to 14 hour days, six days a week, and still wears them to church.
"I am so impressed with these. The fit is amazing and the fact that I work 12 to 14 hours at least 6 days a week and still wear them to church."
Stood in cold water on a shooting range, then took the same boots dancing that night.
"We had been shooting up in the cascades for about an hour in about 30-35F before I noticed our firing line was submerged in about 2 inches of water... I checked my feet in the car after taking the boots off. Bone dry. Went out dancing with my lady later after dusting them off. I got several compliments on my boots that night."
What about hiking, riding, and yard work?
For some, the second shift starts when they get home.
One of three JK pairs, worn for work, hiking, walking, and riding his motorcycle.
"Just started breaking in. 1 of 3 different pair of JK Boots I wear. For work, hiking, walking, motorcycle riding. Love them all."
Three days of wearing them around the house, an oil treatment, and now daily dog walks outdoors.
"Break in was without a problem. After about 3 days of wearing them in the house and an oil treatment they have now a fantastic fit to my feet. I use them outdoors to walk my dog through nature and so far I could not be happier."
Can't wait to get home from work and get into the yard in his O.T.s.
"My Forefronts are amazing but I can't wait to get home and start working in the yard. The OT's slip on and give me the flexibility and support to handle anything in the yard. Looks great. Easy to care for. Just brush them regularly, oil when dry."
How do they age?
Real leather changes with wear and oil.
Wearing them nearly every day, and watching the Redwood darken where it takes the wear.
"Having worn these boots nearly every day since getting them, their enjoyment has only gotten better. The wax coating from factory has mostly scuffed off, but it'll patina very nicely I feel. The heel, sides, and toe have all darkened from use already."
A custom build, oiled all over, with the roughout darkening to a richer brown.
"Shadow bison smooth uppers. Classic bison roughout lowers. Used Obenaufs oil on the entire boot. It does darken the roughout to a more rich looking brown. Zero break in time needed. This is my second pair and I will be ordering a third shortly."
Work on Monday, church on Sunday, a hike, or a night out dancing. In these ten reviews, some either buy multiple pairs or have the same pair cover it all. Pick the leather and color you like, size them with our sizing guide, and wear them wherever the day goes.
