Is the O.T. Pro Worth It? What First-Time Buyers Say After Their First Pair
The O.T. Pro is not the most common option in our lineup, which is why for anyone considering it may seem like it has less of a track record to go on than the O.T. or classic Superduty. It is actually built the same as the O.T with the main difference being it comes with a fire & chemical grade sole more resistant to wear and abrasion compared to the softer honey sole. That makes the question worth asking directly: is it actually worth it, according to people who've bought a pair? Some of them were already JK regulars adding a new model to their rotation. Others were brand new altogether. One reviewer even admits watching 50 hours of JK YouTube videos before ordering a single pair, and now he's already trying to figure out how to justify three or four more. Whatever got each of them to order, here's what they have to say now that they own one.
It took him a while to talk himself into a single pair that included, by his own account, over 50 hours of JK YouTube videos first.
"I absolutely love my OT Pro Brown boots. It's crazy how much. For the first time, I think I understand now how some women go nuts over purses. With no exaggeration I've watched over 50 hrs of JK YouTube videos. It took a while to justify the amount of money for just one pair. And now I'm trying to figure out how to get 3 or 4 more."
Twenty-three years into a union trade career in the Chicagoland area, he's tried plenty of boot brands before picking JK.
"I've been a union tradesman for 23 years in the Chicagoland area. I've tried many different brands of work boots — by far these boots are the best I've ever worn. Well worth the money and you'll have a returning customer for life. Thanks again."
An ironworker who'd grown tired of his old boots' soles wearing out fast, he gave the O.T. Pro a shot two weeks before writing this.
"Used to wear flat soles as an Ironworker, got tired of Vibram soles wearing out so fast. So I figured I'd try your OT Pro. And boy I'm so happy I did — so far so good after 2 weeks, 7 days a week."
An automotive master technician, he expected a boot this well-built to feel bulky. It didn't.
"Really love the build quality without the bulk. Much lighter than I thought they'd be. I'm an Automotive Master Technician and they're performing great in our shop environment. Looking forward to seeing how they do long term."
Impressed out of the box, and more impressed the longer he's worn them.
"Initially I was very impressed with the build quality of the boots out of the box. The more I wear them, the more they continue to impress. If they last as long as I think they will, they will become my all-around favorite boot."
He didn't have much to add beyond the essentials.
"I'm speechless. The best boots I've ever owned. Keep doing what you guys do. I've been working them since they came out of the box and couldn't be happier with my purchase."
As a first-time JK buyer, the service stood out almost as much as the boots.
"First time buyer! Very pleased with my boots and the customer service was outstanding! I will be a continued customer."
Short and direct.
"Love the boots, so comfortable. Love the style. Have a customer for life."
Already a Fire Inlander owner, he added the O.T. Pro for a different season rather than switching away from JK entirely.
"Second pair of JK boots. I wear the Fire Inlander during fire season and the OT Pro during the winter. Absolutely love them both. Great boots."
Broken in within days, and already planning ahead.
"A+, broke in within a few days. On my feet 12 hours a day — will definitely be getting a second pair."
What's worth noting is how quickly these customers discovered they liked the boots after trying them on. Several within the first couple of weeks, and more than one is already planning on getting a second pair. If you're weighing whether the O.T. Pro is what you need, then make sure to check it out following the link below to learn more about what it has to offer.
