JK Boots Unboxing!

[@benhall3888]

The JK brand puts a smile on my face. Their founder seems to be a really sweet man. Very jealous my little brother got a pair for Christmas last year

[@mudspud92]

Just got my OT's in this past week. Still working on breaking them in but man they rule! So pleased with the quality and craftsmanship. Look forward to many years in them.

[@themancaveclub]

Yes!!

[@RogerLoera]

I just placed my order on this exact same OT model. I got 9.5E since according to JK's website their E width is their standard D width. I wear Nicks overlander boots in 9.5D which is on the HNW last so i think got the right size.

[@Pemex93]

I just got my JK boots today. OT in redwood. Can confirm, E is like D in most brands

[@RogerLoera]

@@Pemex93 definitely bro. I got the bison smooth/roughout boots. Yeap. E is their D width. I also oiled them and now they're dark brown. Love em'!!

[@Old_Sailor85]

Nick's Travelers 8.5D, JK OTs 7.5EE Thursday's 8.5D, Lucchese 8D, Old Black Label Tony Lama's 8.5D

[@RogerLoera]

@@Old_Sailor85 damn. It's way off from your other boot brands but if it fits right that's all that matters.

Great show Paul. Your friend is for sure the doctor of boots 🥾 He sounds like he is a good man. Beside boots I’m looking forward to a nice video of the Harley’s. You did a great video of the a Triumph’s so now it’s time for the King of bikes Harley Davidson. Sounds like your friend is not in to bikes but, maybe you can him in to it 😂 Ok, as you know we are all different so whatever it is great 👍😁 Great shots of everything you filmed. You are a professional man keep it up keep on trucking as those truckers say all the time so again, good videos ✌️😇💪👋

[@themancaveclub]

Thanks! Yeah, Jimmy is the Professor of Boots!

Nice boots. JK made a custom pair for me last year. Fire inlander lace to toe done in a black smooth bottom and shafts are 18 inches in black roughout with honey vibram soles. I saw a photo of a pair they made like this once before. Great fitting boots too. Seems like in about a month or so they were done. I did the try it on option. They sent me a pair to try on to get a better fitting.

[@themancaveclub]

Seriously? 18” boots? Wow that’s something to see!

[@toneohm]

Just bought a pair, all smooth Bison OT.., ill have had atleast one from all the PNW brands now expect Frank's.. (only bc you basically have to get them MTO..) even Wesco i could find used Warrens easily enough.. But I'd love some tricked out Monkey Boots or Wilshire with patches.. Badalassi or Dublin., in a crazy green or blue.., i bought Viberg 2030s based on your Trinity reviews.., love em.. but got em used cause they're $$$.. but i like em enough to try some new 2020s eventually.. curious about Julian boots next

[@themancaveclub]

Right on 👍🏽

[@michaelsarar1692]

Great content. Is jk the only pnw using law tanning Buffalo? I ordered nicks this spring in Buffalo but not sure of the tannery. Waiting on those.

[@RogerLoera]

I'm curious about that too. The source.

[@trinityhandmade3864]

Not sure, they don’t disclose who they use but I have purchased a half hide from Law before and there’s no difference between their shrunken bison and the JK boots. From the smell to the hand I would put money on it being Law shrunken bison,

[@EDHBlvd]

So the JK OT Last feels narrower than a Whites 55? That’s interesting. I thought JK had a wider Last.

[@themancaveclub]

@@EDHBlvd IDK, whites always felt a little wide on my feet. I guess it depends how your feet are shaped.

[@EDHBlvd]

@@themancaveclub that’s interesting. I was thinking of doing an 11E in these based off their sizing guide, but you know how sizing concerns can go. Decision atrophy.

[@toneohm]

can you ask Jimmy about the Bison.. some people say JKs uses Law Tannery... others say Seidel... i bought them assuming it was Law... i wonder if there's any way to tell

[@themancaveclub]

He's pretty sure it's Law

[@stalinschicken3432]

Right on !

[@Condor1970]

How good is the arch support? I have a pair of Nicks Roberts with the 55 last, and I really like the arch support.

[@trinityhandmade3864]

Like 20% less arch then a 55 last

[@ismaelcalderon2542]

How big is the heel?

[@themancaveclub]

It’s about 1 inch but, they’re custom order so you can probably ask for any heel you want

[@awakeandhungry4334]

They really should step up their box game though

[@themancaveclub]

You think so?

[@1979augistine]

Are you wearing the boxes ?

[@NoVaRedacted]

I turned my bisons uppers/redwood lowers roughout into waxed flesh look for my O.Ts

[@themancaveclub]

Right on!!

[@L3GHO5T]

They’re white guy timberlands

[@ifassnacht]

Timberlands are way cheaper than these boots

[@lyodbraun]

Timberland is china made trash pure and simple JK and the others are proudly made in USA 🇺🇸

[@meetmeoutback86]

Tim's are garbage these days..

[@nonameneeded-n6t]

Nothing manly here.

[@nonameneeded-n6t]

Never claimed to be an authority. It's my opinion. Watching just the first 45 sec of 2 dudes in a basement unboxing a pair of shoes doesn't scream manliness to me. If you dig it, you do you boo. I've got better things to do.

[@RogerLoera]

​@@nonameneeded-n6tit seems you're questioning your own manliness.

[@toneohm]

​@@nonameneeded-n6t is essentially a men's fashion channel.. what do you want them to be doing exactly..?
