WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT
JK's handmade leather boots are unlike anything you have put on your feet before. Because we use the highest quality materials and construction, your boots will form to your feet over time, for the perfect fit.
Your boots may feel a little stiff or strange at first, and that is completely normal. The leather will settle to your feet: stretching, where there is tightness, and shrinking up where there is extra room. The insoles will form to your arches and toes, and the boots will soften and mold to your foot and calf.
Wear with a good pair of socks, trust the break in process, and enjoy a whole new level of footwear!
Brief history with JK Sizing
We are continuing to improve sizing experience for new customers based on current customer feedback to achieve the best results.
From our early days, JK Boots has been on a journey to improve our products, systems, customer experience, and methods. We never want to settle for good enough, we always want to get better!
As of March 2023, based on the market research, specialist consultation and customer feedback, we have updated our sizing method and chart, in order to increase the ease and simplicity in finding the best size for you.
This includes:
• Offering a larger variety of letter Widths
• Simplifying Boot Length determination Via the US Brannock device and Standard U.S Sizing
• Offering the Ball width Measurements chart
• Adding a printable Brannock Device & Tape Measure
• Adding a conversion Calculator
How Much Toe Room Should My Boots Have?
•Our "standard" toe room is based off of what we typically recommend–giving you about a thumb's width of space between your toe and the end of the boot. This leaves plenty of room for your foot as the leather settles, and shrinks back (curling the toes slightly) over time. With that in mind, everyone is different. You know your feet best, and should pick what sounds good to you, like if you know you have sensitive toes, go with a roomy fit, or if you prefer less material up front, than go with the snug fit.
How Wide Should My Boots Be?
Our boots are built to provide incredible support and comfort for extended periods of time, almost like a firm handshake. We have five widths to choose from (D (narrow), E (regular), EE (medium), 3E (wide), and 5E (Xtra-Wide), so simply select what sounds right.

Absolutely outstanding look and fit. I own the boots that are like clouds and look like they should be in the movies.
I honestly think mine look better than any other customs built .
And there are some really eye knocking boots built by JK Boots.
I can not thank Tim and staff enough for allowing me to get theses boots and will purchase my third set of boots this summer..!

I have been wearing my forefront boots to work as an electrician for about a month now. Starting to feel the craftsmanship, and quality of the premium materials used in the construction of the boot. The first week just a few hot spots. Less hot spots the second week. The third week started to feel a little slippage in the heels. Other than that the boots feel amazing. Considering other JK models for motorcycle boots. Definitely a product I would recommend. Thanks JK!

Few minor imperfections.
I was super excited to get these boots. I’ve been watching all the “how it’s made” videos on YouTube and reading reviews from people like RoseAnvil and others about how great they are. JK did not disappoint! Very good quality packaging to ensure safe arrival. The inclusion of all the case candy as I call it was really enjoyable. I did notice only a few minor details that seemed just overlooked. The final shaping of the outsole seemed to just miss one spot by the ball of the foot. Like one spot just flares out instead of being straight and smooth. Also the trimming of the hard edge around the leather midsole seemed a bit wonky. But again, these are work boots at the end of the day and made for hard miles, not beauty pageants.
All and all, just the quality of the components like the leather and the stitching are just fantastic! Coming from being a Die Hard Thorogood guy for over 6 years, the Forefront is on a whole different scale of craftsmanship.
3rd Generation Union Ironworker approved! It took about 4 days of conditioning/oiling and wearing around the house or out for errands before I could dedicate to a full 10hr shift in these, but its well worth it. They just get more comfortable everyday.
Thanks JK Boots!

This is my second order of boots with JK. My first pair were too tight, but thankfully I was able to return them. For this pair, I went with the same size but instead of the average width I picked the wide width. It took about a month to get them, and I was happy to find out they fit. Breaking in the boots took about a week, and now they feel great to wear.
Overall, it's been a good experience and I will be coming back for any repairs and more boots.
