I purchased my smooth redwood 8” OT boots back at Thanksgiving. I have owned a lot of hiking boots and work boots, for the last 8 or so years Keen has been my brand. I have been intrigued by PNW boots for some time and after owning these for a few months, here are some thoughts. The quality is so far beyond mass produced boots that it can’t be compared. The “hand built” vibe is obvious. The break in on the supposedly easy-to-break-in OTs is much more than I was expecting. Just in the last few weeks have they felt “great”. I admittedly do not wear them daily. They are for work around our farm and not for daily career use. The heel has been particularly hard but my right heel is a trouble spot on all boots. They are very tough and although I haven’t abused them I have worked in them on some demanding chores. No damage, no sign of weakness. People notice them and ask about them. I will be buying a pair of 300X for more casual use when my Cincinnati boots are done. Skyler in CS is a peach, give her a raise.

I looked at boots for probably two months before picking JK's. It took two months for me to get my boots but hey they were a custom order. I loved the looks of them when I got them what beautiful boots where. First day out of the box I wore them for 10 to 12 hours the first day. There was little breain time and man they feel great every time I put them on. Quality that is next to no other. Customer service is next to no other. To p notch crew there in Spokane WA. I just wanna say another thank you to Bruce there and the whole JK family there. Now to figure out a way to get them to accidentally job a pair of custom packers in the mail.

Thanks JK you all rock.
