JK Boots Reviews: Still Comfortable After 90+ Hour Workweeks
When you're putting in long hours on your feet, comfort and support are essential. One of the biggest questions when investing in a quality pair of boots like JK Boots is whether they can really get through demanding workweeks without sacrificing this feel and support. Take a look at these customer reviews that were pulled directly from our reviews page.
1. “Satisfied customer“
"I am in my work boots 90-100 hours a week. I decided to see if it would make a difference if I spent the extra money on boots to take care of my feet. They were a great fit from the start and didn't take more than a couple days to break in. I've had my boots for 2 months now and well worth the purchase. Typically, I wear the soles out before the boot itself. I plan to get a second pair, and send them back in to be resoled in the future. This was a calculated purchase when I made it and I am very satisfied with my decision."

2. “Very Good Boots“
"These boots are very high quality, and are very comfortable. Break in was quick and painless. JK’s service is excellent as well. Very satisfied customer."

3. “A game changer“
"I choose to go with a pair of custom Forefronts, and they are the best boots I’ve ever worn. The second I pulled them out of the box I knew these boots weren’t messing around. I’ve tried so many other brands and in different styles and never had I found a really good fit. But with these, the first day I laced them up the fit and the feel are perfect. And over the next couple weeks once I softened them up, my knee and lower back pain went away. I’m a very satisfied customer and a custom hand made boot is the way to go. I’ve already got my next pair picked out. "

4. “Astounding comfort!“
"I went from work shoes, to "work boots", to JK Boots. These boots were a bit intimidating because I expected a break in period, some blisters and pain. Not these... I slipped these puppies on and it was sheer comfort, they broke in in a matter of hours as silly as that might sound.
I'm a project manager with mixed roles in an industrial military manufacturing plant. Not only am I happy with the boots but im proud of their origin. I'm beyond happy with their comfort and durability thus far. The sizing was a little intimidating for the price but I followed the guide and it did a darn good job!
Very satisfied, looking forward to getting more in the future!"

5. “Outstanding Quality“
"Extremely satisfied with the fit, finish, look, and feel of my JK300’s. As someone with a narrow foot, finding a boot to fit is virtually impossible. I was hesitant to order boots online. I used the JK sizing guide which indicated a size 9. My normal shoe size (Allen Edmonds) is 11B. After a couple of email exchanges, I decided to take a chance and ordered the 300 Mahogany's. Though it took 11 weeks from order to delivery, it was well worth the wait. A high quality hand-made boot can’t be rushed.
My first wearing was a half a day as my heel was beginning to experience discomfort. I wore thick socks that day because that’s my normal pattern when buying off the shelf boots. The second time I wore thin socks and didn’t experience any discomfort. This is proof that JK Boots are made to fit your foot. I know after about a month of wearing, my 300’s will fit like a glove. If you are uncertain about purchasing any JK boot, take the plunge. You’ll be glad you did."

6. “Fantastic“
"Love these boots. The leather is supple and feels great. Zero breakin required. Followed their sizing directions (since this was my first pair) and the boots fit great right out of the box. Been my everyday wear for the last few weeks. Highly satisfied and love the customer service. Thanks again JK Boots."

7. “Satisfied“
"I have always struggled finding boots that would hold up to what I put them through. I would usually get around 8 months out of my boots Redwings or Justins. I have had my JK boots for 2 and a half weeks now. They are definitely a big investment but they are clearly a better made boot than I’ve ever worn. I would say that they are broken in now. However, the first week was a struggle at times. There was a lot of readjustments with the laces but I think that’s to be expected with a thick leather boot like these. No regrets yet. Hopefully they will be around for several years. There guys at JK are great to work with."

8. “Farmer“
"They are the most comfortable boots right out of the box I’ve ever worn in the 36 years I’ve been wearing work boots. Workmanship is a 10 plus very satisfied with my purchase. *** Bless YouAll"

9. “Fire Inlander“
"Very good boots!! I have tried just about major brand of boots and by far I am the most satisfied with my JK boots. I chose a 5E width. From the onset the boots have been extremely comfortable. The construction of the boots is also very top shelf. I purchased 2 pair. I plan to order a customer built set very soon. Thank you!!!"
