JK Boots – My Story

I was in need of new boots. I researched several different brands before choosing JK Boots. My new boots needed to meet some strict criteria.

First of all, my boots needed to have soles that would not fall off. The last four pairs that I owned; the soles had fallen off, and one pair even deteriorated in the box before ever wearing them. Quality was a high priority.

Secondly, they needed to be comfortable. I wear orthotics and needed to make sure the boots would be roomy enough to allow the orthotics to fit inside. Also, the boots needed to be water resistant and good looking.

Needless to say, all of my criteria have been met. Customer support (Trevor) called the day after the boots arrived. I had and issue with the size of the first pair. I normally wear a 9 ½ D. I ordered an 8 ½ E. I worked with Trevor and ended up with an 8 E and they feel great. I was told that I would not need the orthotics while wearing JK Boots because their boots have good support, and that they would form to my feet. They were correct. I haven’t used them so far, and my feet and calves do not hurt. The toe area is roomy. The leather is thick and high quality. They are heavier than my other boots, but this has not been an issue. My feet stay dry, even after walking in shallow water and dew. I have also received many compliments about how nice they look.

So far, I’m glad to be a part of the JK family!!!

I reached out to JK to get a pair of custom boots...my feet are very wide. I was sent a try on pair to confirm sizing. I liked the try-on pair so much, I bought them, and kept my order for the custom boots as well!

I have been wearing the try-on boots for 1 week now. Break in was very, very mild and the boots were always comfortable during break in. They are now starting to feel better and better as I wear them more and more. My days are 10 - 12 hours long minimum and they are still comfortable when I take them off for the day. And in taking them off (and putting them on) the quality is very apparent.

PS: Can't wait to get my custom Forefronts in Bison!!
