What customers are saying
"Best most comfortable boot I have ever worn"
★★★★★"I was skeptical in the beginning because of the sizing. But once received my boots and put them on they were comfortable and fit really good right out of the box. Now that i have worn them for a couple weeks I have zero complaints and highly recommend them. I bought these on a whim since they were on the shelf while I am waiting on my pair of forefront bison to be shipped. Now also looking to get a third pair in black"
“Excellent Christmas Gift“
★★★★★"I purchased two pairs of JK Boots. This allows me to rotate them evenly for wear and while one is being serviced I have e a pair to work in. The quality is second to none. The break in is not bad. Bison is incredible! The size is perfect for me, I just followed the directions. I believe these are the kind of boots that get better with time! I definitely will oil them and follow JK advice for care specifically."

"Most comfortable boots from day 1"
★★★★★"First of all customer service is the best ever, we had some issues with shipping, nothing JK was responsible about and even then they took care of it and shipped them again once it was returned, quickly and efficiently. The boots are perfect and insanely comfortable, some days I even forget I’m wearing boots and at the end of the day my feet are feeling as if I just woke up."
“Impeccable“
★★★★★"These boots are just incredible. I have a number of boots at a similar price-point and these are my favorite. The bison leather is just incredible and the construction is just this perfect balance of light and flexible and tough and protective. I love how they feel, I love how they look, I love how they’re starting to wear, and I can’t wait to strap them on in the mornings."

"First JK experience"
★★★★★"The boots are incredibly robust. Unfortunately I had to exchange for a better fit, but JK customer service made this process a breeze which I’m thankful for. I’m excited to get into a proper fitting pair. If you’re on the fence I wouldn’t hesitate though you’d be hard pressed to find a better value at this price point. This will not be my last purchase."
"Quality and attention to detail."
★★★★★"“Spend the money on quality products that separate you from the ground”. I used to buy new work boots every year with the same mediocre results and durability. It finally took me several years to realize why the more experienced professionals in my occupation would order custom work boots from the Pacific Northwest."
"Buffalo is the bomb!"
★★★★★"Received mine last week, have been able to wear about 8 hrs and they are incredible. The buffalo is soft/supple right out of the box, have not oiled yet at all, not sure I need to for breaking in. They are built like tanks, Christy soles are very nice for walking on hard surfaces. Highly recommend!"
"Awesome boots and even better customer service"
★★★★★"I got my boots and they were beautiful except they ended up being too wide for me. And within a week of their arrival JK boots contacted me asked me about how the fit and got me a return label to send my boots back and get the right size. There’s some awesome people making awesome boots over there."
"Truck Driver"
★★★★★"I love them, wear them for tasks outside the truck and while driving it. They are awesome at home cleaning out hedge rows and clean up for general wear. Never thought a work boot could be this comfortable, I prefer to wear them over tennis shoes! Made in the USA was also very important to me."
