O.T. Bison (Smooth)

I've only had the O.T. hard toes for a couple weeks. So far I like them, much higher quality than the other brands I've worn. As everyone else, I work very long days and my feet take a beating. The boots seemed to break in quickly and the sizing guide outlined by JK seems to be right. They don't move even when not laced. I can move quickly and even run without the normal sloppy feeling that steel toes boots have. Only time will truly tell how they hold up.l, that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. JK called me to make sure I was happy too. I'm very proud to put my feet into boots made by Americans from American material. Thank you JK

Fantastic customer service during the ordering process . After many years of wearing Red Wings boots these are just at a different level . Every single part of these boots are quality! Bison was surprisingly thick and supple . Stitching is robust and perfect, honey sole is grippy and very comfortable out of the box with next to no break in at all . I’ll be a JK customer for life !

My reason for the investment was because I was having a constant problem with off the shelf mass production work boots.

1 To many plastic fabrics caused my foot to over sweat causing athletes foot i would have to replace within first 6 months.

JK solved this by a all leather construction you can feel that your feet don't over heat even on a work day in July.

2 mass production boots caused me to have Achilles tendinitis because the memory foam insoles that would permanently compress within a month causing a flat foot condition the shank would stop functioning the way it is suppose to because of cheap plastic build materials.

JK boots solved the problem for me by elevating the heel stacking all the thick layers of leather creating a very supportive sole. The angle and support alleviate my Achilles tendon pain and no more knee or back pain even installing 1500 pounds of drywall daily therfore proving to be orthopedic.

I decided to wear the boots without insoles in a effort to stomp my foot print into the thick leather midsole for the ultimate comfort and even weight distribution for the base of my foot. With doing this I found that 1.5 size down from brannock sizing worked perfect for me. How ever remember the ultimate comfort comes after about 6 weeks of full time wear putting your foot print into the leather one step at a time. The first couple of weeks it feels like walking on a hardwood floor in your socks all day long, you will feel some pain. Earn your comfort dont…
