The 6-Inch Reviews

Kenneth E. H. — Archer - Liberty, customer-submitted

Usually prefers 8-inch or taller but these 6-inch Archers fit like a glove.

"The boots are first and foremost the best looking 6" boots I've ever owned. I dont typically buy 6" or short cut boots, I prefer 8" + ... they fit luke a glove and yeah, they are stiff at first damn even stiff they are comfortable. I would 100% recommend these boot to everyone."

Went with the 6-inch on purpose.

"Great boots. Ordered a 6” as I don’t need the height. Follow the oiling instructions and you boots will be amazing."

A union pipefitter on his feet all day.

"So far been a great boot they're breaking in well the was kinda stiff at first I am a union pipefitter they work well for me as a service fitter I'm constantly on the go and moving all day long after the initial break in they are comfortable!"

Highest-quality boots they've owned.

"The highest quality boots I’ve ever had. This boot will make you appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Took about three days to break-in for me. Absolutely love these boots."

Well made and they fit great.

"These are some great boots. They are well made and best of all, they fit great. I'll try to review again in the future after I've been in them for a longer period of time."

Kain k. — Forefront 8" - Brown, customer-submitted

Got back to work in his 8-inch Forefronts for 21 days straight.

"Early August I was in a dirt bike accident and broke both the bones in my lower leg. I went back to work early December and haven't had a day off for 21 days. My Forefronts have been on my feet for 12hrs plus every day. Life is good with my JK boots installed. Merry Christmas!"
Larry W. · ★★★★★ · Forefront 8" (Safety Toe) - Bison

Most comfortable boots he’s owned in an 8-inch height but is thinking about a 10-inch next.

"These are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. The only thing I don’t like is the round leather pin in the center of the heel. But my heel will get used to it. I’m on my boots 13 hours a day for 7 days straight. I might order another pair only in 10” instead of the 8” boots. Thank you."
Sammuel T. · ★★★★★ · Fire Inlander - Black

Tip from a 10-inch owner: get laces to match.

"The boots were well made, I'm still breaking these boots in as we speak , so if you get the 10 inch boot , be sure to get the appropriate length of nylon laces for them. I work for amazon as a warehouse worker and they keep my feet free of concrete pain on the floor but because they are breaking in still , it will be a good minute before they feel amazing..."
Henry Is L. · ★★★★★ · Custom Fire Inlander

A 12-inch custom bison Fire Inlander with the easiest break-in he’s ever had.

"I ordered a pair of Bison leather inlanders with 12 inch uppers and I absolutely love them. Very comfortable and has been the easiest boot break-in ever."

Some went with a 6-inch option because they didn’t need the extra height, some 8-inch because that’s what they always wear, and one a 12-inch custom for the extra coverage. While they had a comfortable break-in and great fitting boot. A full leather work boot that is well built works whether it hits your ankle or your calf.
