JK Boots Reviews: Comfort, Durability, and Craftsmanship
Comfortable right out of the box, built to outlast every other boot, tough enough for 12-hour shifts and good looking enough to wear to a meeting. Our customers come from different trades and backgrounds but their experience with JK Boots is very consistent. Here's what they have to say.
1. “Bison Superduty“
"Good quality and built seriously heavy-duty. I’ve gone through all the usual brands—Thorogood, Danner, Red Wing—and every pair failed in under 6 months. These are on a completely different level. I fully expect to get several years out of them.
The boots in the second picture are my honey bison Superduties after a full year of hard use. I had them resoled with Red X, and JK turned them around in under two weeks. I’ve been very happy with their customer service and their products, and I’ll continue to be a customer for the foreseeable future."

2. “Work boots“
"Pretty much awesome. 12 hour shifts as an aircraft Inspector on either concrete or asphalt and my feet don't feel tired."
★★★★★ Robert B. | Verified Buyer - O.T. Owner
3. “Amazing boots“
"This is one of the first heavy duty work boots I've owned in many years. The OT style with the wonderful bison leather has been an easy breaking in process vs the other leather boots I've owned."
★★★★★ Daniel W. | Verified Buyer - Bear Slayer Owner
4. “Superduty Shadow Bison Smooth Safety Toe - fantastic!“
"What a great pair of boots! I've got some really strange feet and toes from all sorts of poorly-healed foot and toe injuries over the years and after my first pair of JK Boots being out-of-this-world-awesome (regular bison / honey soles / soft toes) I figured I'd try a pair with safety toes this time, but with the shadow bison leather, super-soft fire-n-ice soles, and custom black hardware. They are just like the first pair: out-of-this-world amazing - super comfortable right out of the box, unmatched quality, and with JK's super-wide range of sizing options, they fit even my odd feet / toes perfectly. This is the first time I've had safety toe boots that actually fit properly and don't pinch my toes or hurt my feet!
Oh, and they look amazing - I feel like these will not be out of place regardless if I'm in a meeting with "the big cheeses" or outside climbing a tower. Having a boot that looks as good as these do means I can have one pair of footwear that will work in both situations.
Took about 14 weeks from order date to delivery date, which was spot on the low end of the time estimate. Can't beat that!
Thank you for another awesome pair of boots that will for sure outlast me!"

5. “Extremely satisfied with the Fire Inlanders“
"The boots came fast and with clear instructions on the best ways to lace up the boots. They also broke in within the first couple days and have continued to get more and more comfortable as I wear them. Great pair of boots."
★★★★★ Colton P. | Verified Buyer - Fire Inlander Owner
6. “First pair“
"This is first pr. Of JK Superdutys Just received these a week ago. Upon taking them out of box. Very impressed.
I found with quality of these boots. Just for clarity the pair I bought were 2nds. Factory error after looking for the error, I have to say if others made their boots as well as JK does their factory 2nds. They would be constructing very well made footwear. I found what JK listed as defect. Not worth listing here. Also after ordering the wrong size the return and new purchase could not be any better.
The sales person I had the pleasure of working with was Ellen Copsey.
I ran shoe stores for over 40 years. And the service I received was some of if not the best I have had in many years. Oh why if I have over 40 years in the business would I order wrong size, when buying hand made boots you have to use their sizing. So if this is your first time like myself, do your self a great favor call Ellen."

7. “Exceptional quality“
"I researched for quite some time about which boots I wanted to go with, as I’m switching from cowboy boots to real work boots, just couldn’t take the ankle flex anymore, and there was a few requirements:
#1. They had to be made in USA of course!
2. Needed a safety toe,
3. I wanted the wedge sole
4. I wanted them to fit nice n tight
5. They had to be lace up, and support my ankles well.
Another thing that I like, is the ordering process, it spells out everything how to measure up, so you get your perfect pair! I’m an auto mechanic, on concrete 9hrs a day, and I’m very happy with how my boots feel after a week, and they’re even better now on week 3. Also, I applied Boot Guard, on the toe fronts, as the first day of wearing them I scuffed them a bit. 😳 Overall, very happy! And will definitely buy again, and the 8 week wait time was well worth it! Plus they even arrived on my birthday!"

8. “Custom Bison Forefronts“
"best looking boots I've ever had. the bison leather feel like they are broken in right out of the box. thank you for the quailty and craftmanship. this is my third pair and more to come. Best, Roy"
★★★★★ Roy T. | Verified Buyer - Custom Forefront Owner
9. “Best boots I've ever owned“
"My JK journey started with Shadow Bison Forefronts. I loved them so much I bought a second pair of Bison Forefronts. These are my every day boots, as I work on concrete. I decided that I wanted a Super Duty for my fishing,hunting, and hiking. These,within a day, were my favorite boots. Even after getting the founders boot a couple of weeks later. I've even worn them to work a couple of times. They just feel so amazing. BEST BOOT EVER!!!"
★★★★★ James M. | Verified Buyer - Superduty Owner
