"I now own boots from three of the top makers in this category. Don't get me wrong. They're all very nice. But these JK Forefronts are the best all around by a noticeable margin. If I were forced to remain in possession of only one pair of boots for the rest of my life, it would be these and the decision wouldn't be hard. I'm at a loss for how such an unbelievably high quality pair of boots was produced and delivered to me at this pricepoint. Thank you, JK!"

    Nice boots BUT USE SIZING CHART before ordering

    Snuggle type fit around front of foot with wide toe box and plenty of arch support can't wait for boot to break in but comfortable right out of box.. Please use sizing chart before ordering especially around the foot width wise!

    Nice and Comfy

    I wear Superduty's as my only footwear and bought these for weekends and walking the dogs. Nice build and easy break in. These will be with me a long time.

    No more foot pain

    I have horrible flat feet that have given me a tremendous amount of pain over the course of my life. I am a supermarket refrigeration mechanic so I spend anywhere from 40hrs to 80+hrs a week on my feet. I have tried every brand of mass-produced boots in existence, everything from off the shelf orthotics to custom. Nothing gave me the long-lasting comfort I was looking for until I finally pulled the trigger on some high quality handmade boots made right here in America. Since breaking in my new JK Forefronts, I am walking without a limp for the first time in 2 years. I am so happy with them, I just ordered a second pair in safety toe. I would also like to mention that JK customer service is outstanding! The break-in period is not that bad either. Prior to break-in, I had a few concerns with fitment - the general support team responded quickly and put my mind at ease.
