JK Boots O.T. Reviews: Who Wears It on the Job?

Works in the mining industry with steel toes added, and got his from his firefighter son.

"My son who is a wildland fire fighter and swears by your boots bought me some for Christmas. I work in the mining industry and had you put in steel toes. The boots look and feel great. I really think they will serve me well. Thank you for your craftsmanship."

A heavy-equipment service coordinator on wastewater plant jobs, who wears these as regular footwear and has ordered a composite-toe pair for work.

"Wear them as regular footwear. Ordered a pair of true work boots with the composite toe and they are going to be put to the test. I am a heavy equipment service coordinator for a company who does waste water treatment plants. Currently working at a chicken processing plant redoing their waste water system. All that stuff, grease, diesel, mud, water, powdered dust from crush and run, plus lime is going to put them to the test."

Wears them for honor guard duty, and every day.

"I got my new bison shadow ot and right out of the box they fit like an old boot. I got them in black to use for honor guard duty. I do wear them every day. Best boots there are."

Works at a tire shop and wears them every day, all day.

"Wow, these boots are amazing. I work in them every day at a tire shop, all day. Best pair of boots! Quality and handmade. I love them."

A truck mechanic who is constantly squatting and kneeling, and says the flexibility suits the work.

"I'm 1 week into these boots and I'm blown away. These boots have tons of ankle support but are still extremely comfortable. I am a truck mechanic so I'm constantly squatting and kneeling and the OT is perfect for this due to its flexibility. I'm a forever fan."

Says a handmade pair is a difference you have to feel.

"Love them so far. They are definitely a quality made boot. If you've never been around leather work or had the opportunity to have a handmade pair of footwear you won't believe the difference. The workmanship on these is second to none."

A longtime Red Wing wearer who brushes and oils his handmade pair once a month.

"I have been a Red Wing man, growing up in MN. I am not disappointed in my decision to purchase a hand crafted pair of boots. I enjoy the comfort and quality! I do enjoy caring for such a great product, once a month or when needed a quick brushing and oiling. Thank you and keep up the good work!"

On his fourth pair of JK Boots, and wears them from 5am to 10pm.

"This is my 4th pair of JK boots and each pair is like one of my children. I put a pair on at 5 am and might not take them off until 10 pm and the last thing I'm thinking about is taking my boots off."

Wears the O.T. whenever not working in their Superdutys, and says the quality is something you have to experience.

"I honestly couldn't be happier with these boots. When I'm not working in my JK Superdutys the OT is on my feet. Once you experience this level of quality you will never go back, so if you're on the fence about any JK boots just buy them. It's something you have to experience for yourself. I've never in my life been excited to put a pair of boots on in the morning."

Spends 55 to 60 hours a week in his boots, and plans to buy another set.

"Great quality boot. Fit great and comfortable all day. Spend 55-60 hours weekly in my boots. Definitely was a great transition to the quality of boot. Definitely will be getting another set in the future."
