    Badass boots!

    I'm really impressed with these boots. I love how thick and soft the bison leather is and the tongue guard is a welcome touch. I switched out for kevlar laces to speed up the break-in process and put in felt/wool footbeds. I'm on my feet most of the day and so far, very comfortable. I initially ordered size 9 1/2 in brown and they were too big. Thank ***, because the black bison is freaking gorgeous. Thanks for impeccable customer service, JK!

    JK Shadow Bison Blue Air Walks

    First, let me say that I followed the sizing instructions exactly and the fit is “perfect”. I ordered one full size down from my Brannock size and my exact ball diameter for the letter width. Perfect is defined (for me) as the ball to heel fit being comfortably snug with wiggle room in the toe box.

    This is the first time wearing bison leather and I didn’t know what to expect. To my surprise the bison leather is softer and more pliable than even my fabric sneakers. Absolutely zero break in. They went to work day one. I kept looking down at my bison boots during the day. First I was looking down while wearing these boots because I felt like I left the house and forgot to put my boots on. Second, with my new boots, I wasn’t feeling any pinch in my instep. “They must have untied” I kept thinking, no my boots are on tight. It’s heard to describe what wearing a pair of boots that all you feel is the soft Vibram sole and nothing else. Literally the boots felt like the soles were magically on my feet. My compliments to the hard working team at JK that make these great boots.

    Now as to the photo, let me explain. Upon arrival I tested the boots out for fit and as with anything new things can go wrong. Well the bright white rubber soles encountered some blue dye. As you can imagine getting all the blue dye off is a lot harder than putting more on. So, I went with it and applied an even coat as best as I could to make it look factory??? Please let me know if I need to take my boots…

    rebuilt forefront

    i had a pair of superduty s honey ltt made into forefronts and sized down to proper size. just got my feet in these and they are so comfy!!! i havent had vibram wedge soles for probably a decade so forgot how cloud like they are. i actually bought a pair of superduty to wear while i waited since i got extended lead time for rebuild. while i love those boots my feet feel at home in my new old pair lol. and i forgot how good a lace to toe looks. these are celastic toe also which i like since it keeps toe from collapsing over time. mainly for aesthetics.
