Custom Forefront
Give your feet a break while you work. The Forefront model is the first on the scene and the last one out. The boot's flexible design and cloud-like sole allow you to stand with ease and move with freedom.
Whether it be walking on beams, crawling, crouching, kneeling, or standing on your feet all day, the Forefront gives you perfect balance, shock absorption, and careful contact even in the most dangerous conditions.
Each set of Forefront boots is meticulously handcrafted in our Spokane, WA facility using only the highest-grade American leather, NFPA rated materials, Vibram 4014 White Christy wedge soles, and stitchdown construction. This attention to detail means your JK work boots are built to keep you comfortable and safe providing real comfort on and off-site.
