What Makes JK Boots Worth the Money? 10 Customer Reviews
Our premium work boots aren't cheap, and this leads a lot of people to wonder: are JK Boots really worth the money? While we can list all the reasons and features that our boots have that we believe make them worth it, it's our customers who consistently point to the same reasons they believe that the investment pays off. From custom fit and arch support to the rebuildable construction, long-term durability, and fatigue reducing comfort, they describe benefits that go far beyond what you can get from ordinary work boots. Let's see how our customers explain why they chose JK Boots.
What customers are saying
"Bison Rough out custom Super Duty"
★★★★★"These boots are incredible. Bison Leather already broken in. The rough out vamp is insane. I get comments all the time. I keep it brushed to keep the look. Very comfortable right from the start. Finally breaking in the soles after a couple of weeks. Chose this pair from abandoned warehouse deal. Awesome price. I was pleasantly surprised when I figured out that the sole had an extra layer of rubber on the right side which is perfect for me because I have very high arch and tend to roll my ankle. Not anymore. Thanks JK🇺🇸"
“Love em’ so far!“
★★★★★"I got tired of replacing boots every year and decided to spend a little extra and get something that will last and can be rebuilt. Got the 14” Custom Superduty in Shadow Bison. They were comfortable from day one like I’ve been wearing them for years. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a different brand. Customer service was awesome to work with and the final product is well worth the wait. The knife sheath is an excellent addition to get some gear off my belt during hunting season. 10/10 would recommend. Awesome Job JK!"
“Perfect fit! Better than I could have imagined“
★★★★★"I have “normal size feet” with skinny legs. I’ve always worn off the shelf boots and was never impressed with the fit or support with other brands. My custom forefronts fit like a glove and were so comfortable right out of the box. I’m 3 weeks in and they get more comfortable with each passing day. I do anesthesia by day and run heavy equipment on the side. These boots handle hours of standing on hard surfaces like a dream and I’m able to brush the grim off the rough out then roll into the hospital. I love them!"
“Great!“
★★★★★"I bought two pairs: Brown/wedge sole and Redwood/lug sole.
They're both excellent. Very well crafted, perfect stitching and all. When I unboxed them, I thought they looked like the toughest boots I'd ever seen (I work in an office though, so I'm not a reference🙂.) But they were really comfortable from the start. And they look really cool and unique (I live in Switzerland, I don't think too many other people have them.)
Also, I sent an email to change my initial order, and they changed it, so I appreciate that."
"Can’t go wrong with Bison."
★★★★★"Best fitting. Arch support is exactly right for my arch no more buying arch support insoles. Im not a logger. I’m an Electrician working on concrete in plants up and down ladders . Im amazed that there’s not any synthetic padding inside. Feels springy in my arch. And mine are safety toe which are mandatory. Don’t notice it on my toes. I really scored big by getting these ready to ship from JK. This is my 5 th pair of Jks. Shipping was prompt and updates on the progress of arrival time was spot on. Thanks JK 🇺🇸"
“Most comfortable boots. Period!“
★★★★★"I was tired of messing with the insoles to help with my high arch. I even went to a doctor to get custom arch support insoles made. These boots allow me to work all day or night without the use of insoles. I used the sizing chart and I learned I’m a 3E. Break in was a breeze. I can control how snug they fit by wearing a thinner sock or a thicker wool sock. My only complaint is that they’re too nice to scuff up at work. I will get ordering another pair soon to wear casually. JK has a customer for life here 👍🏻"
"Customer Service tells the tale"
★★★★★"I haven't gotten these yet as they are on the way. However, I will still give a 5 star review based on my experience with Liz. This woman (Military vet I might add) went above and beyond to make sure that I got boots that will fit. So many times, when you purchase things online when you have issues, you are "just a number." Not with this company! They will help you and are there for you. I would recommend their products to anyone and I would say that this is the best Customer Service I have ever seen."
“Best boots I’ve ever worn“
★★★★★"As a land surveyor I see all kinds of terrain from mountains in the middle of nowhere to residential properties. These boots are truely the workhorse of my day and have taken away all of my previous back pain that I used to get from lesser quality boots, and they have far out lasted other boots I've used. Thank you to the men and women at JK that give me the confidence to strap these boots on everyday and know that I can be secure in my foot placement and not have any pain at the end of the work day."
"Awesome boots!"
★★★★★"These boots are amazing! Apparently I've spent my whole life in footwear that's too wide, I ordered a pair of custom super duties from JK in Redding CA the fit is spot on. I do agree with dinner other reviews that they take a long time to break in. At least mine did, I've been wearing them about three months averaging four days a week and they are starting to feel really good. I've got a pair of forefronts coming, been waiting five or six weeks. Great work JK keep it up! True quality shows!"
“Thumbs up“
★★★★★"I am a heavy duty mechanic contractor in British Columbia. The last pair of boots I bought were vibergs in 2012, they have been rebuilt several times but their time was finally up. I was shopping for a new brand and was recommended jk’s by a friend so I tried them out and couldn’t be happier. They were comfy right out of the box and appear to be very well built. These are a black rough lower with smooth 10” bison upper. These boots will live an unforgiving life, so stay tuned for results."
