Arctic No. 2 - Brown

I figured it was time to leave a review for my boots after all these years!

I ordered a pair of 16 inch boots with a built in knife sheath back in 2020.

After seeing a pair of boots they made for someone that had suffered a bad foot injury while serving over see i figured they could handle my feet no problem.

He was missing toes and his heels healed in an odd shape to say the least.

My feet are flat as a board and each one is slightly different. Left foot 10.5 Right foot 11.0.

When they first arrived I was unable to wear them because the aches were way too high.

I had to return them to be fixed.

My only suggestion if you have weird feet is to invest $10 into a foam foot mold and send it in with your order.

But they took care of the problem fast and it was painless as far as during with customer service.

My momma always said you don't know if a company is good until you see how they handle a problem.

Total cost was around $700 and it was well worth it.

Im still I love with my boots and i get a lot of compliments.

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.

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.
