    Best Boots I Have Ever Worn!

    I served the Army 20+ years ago including an 18 month tour in the sandbox. I have broken in and worn a lot of boots. These have been a pleasure to wear from the first time I placed my feet into them.

    The measurements were spot on and fit exactly to my feet. They have very little break in time if any compared to any other boot. Walking in them with and without a 50 lb ruck is extremely easy and comfortable. Climbing hills has been a great new experience with these. They have great grip and support. I walk everywhere in these and my walks have immensely improved. My speed has increased because of these boots. Absolutely no blisters have been caused by them. Over all my experience from these has been by far the best boots I have ever worn.

    Ready for Cold Weather

    Took advantage of the cooler temperatures and have worn them 4 days. Easy break in. Hiked each evening and after the first 2 days nice and comfortable. They are 3 ounces heavier than my 8 in bisons but feel lighter. Definitely more nimble. Heats returning so into the closet for a few months.

    Too Pretty to use for work.

    This is my second pair of JK’s first Bison. The leather is Thicc compared to my Superduty in regular work leather along with the Arctic 2 insulation its been a beast to break in. The first day I wore them all day at work felt great no leakage stayed warm no pinching great snow traction. Second day oh boy had to swap out for my Superduty and use these as around the house and going to town shoes but after a week of that they are feeling much better. The low heel was strange at first but equally as comfortable as the standard high heel Superduty not as much arch support but enough even with flat feet. The White X sole might be my new favorite over the Honey sole for year round use time will tell though. These are also physically larger due to the insulation but fit the same if you have had a custom pair before the fit is exactly as expected.

    These boots are put together perfectly, fit and finish are amazing. Thank you to Tim and Jarod for your time helping me with sizing, you all should be very proud of your work as I am proud to be wearing them.

    Been wearing handmade logger/wildland fire boots for 36 years and FINALLY purchased an insulated pair. Have tried numerous other insulated boots when the cold and snow arrives but always miss my handmade loggers and can't wait until warmer weather and getting back to wearing a comfortable pair of boots. My feet and lower back really notice the difference. Not my issue anymore! There is always a break in period with new handmade boots, so as they say, "trust the process". I saw these on the JK's site and they were on the shelf and seemed to be the correct size since I wanted to wear an insole in my boots for added warmth. Shout to to Cory at JK's as he was awesome to talk with and assisted in determining info about the Arctic No. 1 and if the size in stock may work for me. Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I have not had the opportunity to try them in cold and snow yet. Have put some break in miles on them and so far so good but too warm to wear for every day use for now. My only regret is that I waited this long to purchase a pair of handmade insulated boots!!!
