What Do JK Boots Colors Look Like? 10 Customer Reviews

A boot color can be hard to judge from a product photo especially because of the variance in natural products like leather. The leather looks one way on screen and often different once it’s on your feet. You might also be uncertain about how the leather might look after oiling your boots. These ten JK Boots customers share what they thought about how their boots looked like so you can get an idea of what you could expect. Let's take a look at what they have to say.

Ernest E. — O.T. (Safety Toe) - Black, customer-submitted

Says his O.T. Black takes a great shine.

"The best ever love it takes a great shine the best by far"
Roy Z. · ★★★★★ · Fire Inlander - Redwood

Calls the Fire Inlander Redwood a red you can’t find anywhere else.

"I love these boots. The fit is perfect (although not in "standard" shoe size) and the color is so unique. You can't find that red anywhere else"
Jon T. · ★★★★★ · Archer - Oxblood

A more unique and one-off color, picked the Oxblood for his Archer.

"When these boots were 1st posted,I had to fight myself NOT to buy them. I lost. The next hardest decision was color, went with oxblood. Welcome to my 6th pair of JK boots. Look even better when you actually see them. The fit is comfortable and spot on."
Dennis C. · ★★★★★ · O.T. 6" - Redwood

Says the thick Redwood leather ages beautifully in both smooth and roughout.

"I'm very impressed with the amount of quality put in these boots. The thick Redwood leather both smooth and roughout, clean and age beautifully!"
Timothy F. · ★★★★★ · Forefront - Coyote Roughout
TIMOTHY F. — Forefront - Coyote Roughout, customer-submitted

Another unique color, picked up the Coyote Forefront.

"I got a pair of the Forefront’s in the coyote tan and I absolutely love them! I also have a pair of 300’s that I love but theses Forefronts are next level."
lee h. · ★★★★★ · O.T. 6" - Redwood

The only downside? He wants to collect every color.

"Great fit. Looks great and the craftsmanship is outstanding. The only bad part is I want to collect all the colors."

How the Colors Change With Oiling

Steven K. · ★★★★★ · O.T. - Redwood Rough
Steven K. — O.T. - Redwood Rough, customer-submitted Steven K. — O.T. - Redwood Rough Oiled, customer-submitted

Oiled his pair and says he preferred the oiled look.

"The quality and fit of these boots is amazing. Some pictures of un-oiled and oiled included. I preferred the oiled color. Looks more professional to me."
Carlos O. · ★★★★★ · 300 - Redwood
Carlos o. — 300 - Redwood, customer-submitted

Added Obenauf’s and the Redwood got darker, but still looks good.

"Like the color redwood I added Obeanufs boot oil got the boots darker but they look good."
Joshua J. · ★★★★★ · O.T. Bison
Joshua J. — O.T. Bison, customer-submitted

Snagged an O.T. Bison from the warehouse.

"I was able to snag these bison O.T.'s from the in stock warehouse. They fit perfect and the bison leather is perfect for all day wear on day 1. I oiled these with Obenhauf and they darkened nicely"
Joe S. · ★★★★★ · O.T. - Redwood Rough
Joe S. — O.T. - Redwood Rough, customer-submitted

Oiled his Redwood O.T. immediately and says they felt even better right after.

"Felt great out of the box! Oiled them immediately and they felt even better. Broken in after 3 days of wearing them. Top notch build quality ZERO complaints. Highly recommend!"

While there can be some variance between colors, the leather always ages well and a little Obenauf's makes them look even better. Whether you’re deciding between Redwood and Bison, full smooth or roughout, or thinking about how Black will take a shine, the best way to see is by having a pair on your feet.
