Why do customers care that JK boots are made in the USA?
Five customers on choosing American-made boots, and what drew them to JK Boots.
Needed made-in-USA boots to meet a company requirement, and bought after watching a video of how they are made.
"Was shopping for work boots. Had company criteria to meet, and made in USA. Watched the YouTube video on how these boots were made, and bought them. They fit like a glove. Very supportive. The leather is perfectly smooth and soft. I absolutely love them."
Was glad to see American quality and workmanship is still alive.
"Loved to see the usa quality and workmanship is still alive....Thank you."
Likes the supple leather, the craftsmanship and the American-made quality.
"Very comfortable feeling to the boot. Love the supple leather. The craftsmanship is top notch. Love the American made quality."
Was tired of wearing out a pair a year of other American-made boots before switching.
"I should have bought them sooner. I finally got tired of blowing out a pair a year of other made in usa footwear. These are built like tanks."
Tried JK because of the brand's story and humble beginnings, and found the fit and finish topnotch.
"Fit and finish is topnotch! I thought I was going to have an issue with the sizing as I ordered online and had no prior experience with JK. I tried JK boots because of it's story and humble beginnings. The dedication and craftsmanship being put into each pair of boots.

Calls it top quality from a family company that cares about its product and customers.

A cobbler who says he can appreciate every bit of work in a pair.

"Best company to work with you can tell it’s not just a job it’s their life long passion .The quality of their product is better than anything I have ever tried"
A first-time JK owner who noticed the details between the upper and the soles.
"The fit is wonderful and the appearance of the boot is beautiful. The leather is soft and pliable but the weight of the boot is substantial. The construction is meticulous- most evident in the details between the upper and the soles. I’ve never owned JK Boots until today. Now I’m a convert."
Says you can smell the leather and feel the solid build the moment the box is open.
"I didn’t think custom boots could be so better than others. I am 100% convinced now. The second I opened the box- you can smell the leather, then once you pick them up and feel the solid build, it’s completely game changing how these boots are made."
