Forefront Bison - Shadow

These are the absolute best boots I have ever worn...

There really isn't anything else that needs to be said about them but, I talk a lot so,,,

Ive been wearing the Forefront Bison in a 9.5 for over a year now. I think, time has become a blur over the last few years so don't quote me 🤣

When it comes to sizing, use their print out sheet and follow the instructions. Make sure you set print size to 100% if you follow the steps correctly the boots will be perfect.

The first couple months were pretty difficult. Ive seen people say no break in time. That is an absolute lie. They definitely took break in effort, as any real boot (especially thick bison leather) should. I eased into it a few days a week. Around a month i was wondering if I had made a mistake. I just kept pushing through it. I ended up going to North Carolina to work for about 6 weeks with nothing but these boots. We pulled 6 10 hour shifts. That is when I finally started to become one with my boots. And the force 🤣 (I do not recommend this approach. Alternate shoes every few days and start with light work. You can also lightly wet the inside of them and wear them at home with no socks to help the conforming process.)

Ill be honest, it was rough. My feet and back hurt and I developed a bone spur on the top of my right foot. Working through that was not fun. I found that it was an area where the stitching came together that was causing it. It was not craftsmanship error. The craftsmanship on these are as…

I absolutely enjoy these boots! The break-in period was necessary, but to be expected since I’m not used to wearing this style. Once broken in, they’ve been incredibly comfortable and stylish — perfect for my needs. I'm an office warrior and primarily wear these on meeting days when I want to look sharp and feel confident. My only minor complaint is that the white sole is difficult to keep clean, which is important to me since I want to maintain that fresh, polished look. I did order the buffalo leather insoles and nylon shoelaces. I wish JK would offer a boot cleaning care kit on their store. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.

I wanted a buy it for life boot for working around the house and any other adventure. Decided on the forefront bison and I'm very pleased. Break in was only 2-3 days, after 3 or so weeks they are very comfortable and I look forward to putting them on. They have seen very little work, I've been dailying them instead. My only niggle, which will fade in time due to their work boot responsibilities, is the leather is quite different between them. The left boot is a really nice color with attractive bison texturing, the right boot is at least two shades darker and lacks the texturing in the vamp. They will certainly turn from beautiful unblemished leather to real work boots soon, so I'll care less over time. If they were heritage boots, I would care a bit more.
