    The Real Deal; Get Yours Today

    My first PNW boots, already love them. Thanks to JK for being the only PNW boot company that stocks my size by default (4.5 JK/5.0 other PNW/5.5 Brannock).

    Full disclosure that I am not a tradesman. I just like sturdy, US- and European-made goods, and especially footwear and clothing. Still, these forefronts are outstanding, even as a seasoned connoisseur of high-quality boots. I use these for daily wear, mostly on pavement or indoors, but also for some short hikes. They don't feel heavy, nor do they induce fatigue, even after many hours (40-60 per week). My arches are pretty flat, and yet my forefronts feel great. Ever since the insoles broke in (about 5-7 days of wear), I've had 0 arch pain, which was an issue in previous boots I've owned.

    I was hesitant about how an 8-9 oz leather would feel on my foot, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The leather, which is comfortably thick, gets more supple with time, without compromising on ankle support or overall protectiveness. It has nice pull-up quality and takes scuffs gracefully, and the redwood color shows off different undertones under various lighting conditions (photos attached).

    I lace my boots up aggressively, and often re-adjust throughout the day. I can say with certainty that the brass eyelets and hooks are built to take a beating. The metal hooks on other "high-end" boots (Lowa, most namely) have snapped from how much pressure I apply when lacing, but I've probably treated my forefronts 2-3 as harshly, with…

    Amazing Boot. Amazing fit.

    Went into the JK Boots location in AZ. Nick was awesome. Helped get me sized up properly, and made selecting the right boot easy. Boots came in **** quick, and I couldn't be happier with the fit. Break in was a piece of cake, and they look great. Looking forward to putting them to work for years to come.

    Bison Forefronts

    Shadow bison smooth uppers

    Classic bison roughout lowers

    Used Obenaufs oil on the entire boot. It does darken the roughout to a more rich looking brown. Zero break in time needed. This is my second pair and I will be ordering a third shortly.

    His and hers

    I got myself a pair of bison super duties for my birthday and fell in love with them. Use mine for everything from getting groceries and daily work to hiking in the cascade mountains. Got my lady a custom pair of forefronts with her company logo stamped in them for her landscaping business. We live very active lives and our JK boots are along for the ride and holding up amazingly. Make JK your next boots and you won’t want a different brand.
