If you're a wildland firefighter spending all day on your feet, you already know the true test of a boot is how it performs after week three, hour ten, and year two. We pulled some feedback from people wearing the Fire Inlander putting in long shifts. Here's what stood out.

“JK over delivers“

★★★★★

"Ordered these 1 week after ordering another pair of the Superduty’s. Reason being is; they over deliver on their promises with this boot. Being a long time heavy duty diesel mechanic, my back is thrashed. I ordered these and immediately my back pain was mitigated, my knees hurt less and I’m able to work better and longer. I now run a shop at a Dodge dealership and being on concrete floors all the time, etc the same experience with these has carried over. I watched every video JK has on their YouTube channel and after hearing John and Tim talk about them and the interviews/shop tours, I saw the passion and enthusiasm into every detail.

I’ll never wear anything else. "

“Jk Fire Inlander S“

★★★★★

"This has been the best boot I have ever had. It fit great from the very first day. It had some break in but very minimal discomfort. The leather is the best you can get for a work boot. High quality stitches and overall great craftsmanship. I take a 5E width so it’s impossible for a standard boot to fit me. It was a life changing moment when I started wearing the boots. I can now do a 14 hour day with no pain or swelling. Thank you and your team for making a great product "

“best boots around“

★★★★★

"2nd pair of jk boots. 1st pair were too big and when needed a new sole i took advantage of extended lead time $100 off and got rebuild to right size. bought these in boise so i wouldnt be without good boots. were broken in in 2 days. oil them every month or 2. i often wear them 14+ hrs and no hot spots. end of day i leave them on sometimes"

“Quality is apparent right out of the box“

★★★★★

"The smell of high quality leather when opening the shipping box was the first sign that I made a good purchase. The boots after 4 weeks of moderate use have been an easy break in and have shown the quality of craftsmanship in many ways. I’m very happy to have made the switch to JK but wish I did it sooner. "

“Inland fire boot“

★★★★★

"I have been wearing pnw boots for over 25 years, and these are as well made as any I have had. They have also the best breakin of any boot I have owned, literally fit like a glove from day one. My only wish would be for a packer to be added to the catalog so I could have a work boot and a casual boot."

“First Class “

★★★★★

"I have to say the entire process from my very first phone call to my last email has been nothing but exceptional. Just want to thank everybody, especially the individual who built my boots, my feet and soul. Thank you. Please continue the fantastic work you all do."

“best boots I own“

★★★★★

"I absolutely love these boots i bought them for my first season as a wildland firefighter but have been wearing them at my current job of a journeyman plumber and they are great to work in stiff at first but break in really nice, I will recommend them to everyone."

“Awesome boots!“

★★★★★

"Awesome boots!"

Seth N. Verified Buyer Fire Inlander - Black

An easier break-in, comfort that holds up during long shifts, and a craftsmanship that customers say is worth an investment. That is how the Fire Inlander performs whether you're on your feet hiking trails, out in the field, or even in a shop. If you're ready to see what a work boot built to last actually feels like, it might be time to try a pair for yourself.
