    Blackout bison forefront

    Went back and forth between the forefront and the OT. 90% of my work as a knife maker is on concrete so I went for the forefront and been very pleased. The break in was pretty fast, changed out the leather laces for black 550 cord, oiled the up with the obenauf’s and put the bison insoles in. They are great.

    Comfy boo boo

    I'm a bartender and I just got my blackouts and they are my second pair of forefronts. The blackouts may be the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I'm a 9 1/2 branock and I got a size 8 1/2 . They fit perfectly.

    I love my boots!

    My boots are great. I have had them about three weeks now, and work them almost every work day. I work in a jail, so I walk 5-10 miles on hard concrete floors every day. I wear them on the weekends, as well. I even wear them to church. With each wear, they just continue to get more and more comfortable. My only complaint is that one of my pull loops broke the very first time I tried them on.
