How Its Made - American Bison Leather - Forefront Start to Finish | JK Boots

Get the JK Bison Forefront → www.jkboots.com/products/the-...
The complete mesmerizing process of hand-building one of our favorite boots around the workshop!
The effortless comfort of the Bison Forefront comes from long hrs in the workshop carefully sewing, glueing, and nailing together the highest quality materials together. The magnificent Bison leather moves easily with our felxi-design, and quickly molds to your feet, eliminating any sense of a break-in process. Couple this with the cloud-like wedge sole, and you won't want to take them off.

I just ordered myself a custom pair of Forefronts. Bison leather with the rough lower and smooth upper. Cant wait to get them and enjoy the luxury of 4mm thick bison leather boots! Thanks JK!

[@jkbootsusa]

Right on! No problem 🤘

[@peskybobcat]

This is the best I have seen yet in terms of quality of materials and craftsmanship

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

I find this strangely satisfying to watch. During a time where it seems to be more about how cheap you can make something, it's nice to see there's still craftsman out there making things like a great pair of boots. I've skimped on some things in my life but never what I put on my feet. I have a pair of L.L. Bean boots that I bought around 1989 and I still wear them today. LL Bean resoled them for me a couple times for free but I've heard they don't do that any longer. I'm guessing it's because they don't make them like they used to. Last year I bought a new pair of work boots and I went with Thorogood boots. I think they're great American Made boots but man this Bison Leather really looks great. I may have to have a pair of these in the near future.

[@janettavculek9308]

Those boots look like they will last forever. Beautifully done.

[@silverbullet7434]

Looks like a great boot . I always liked the soft rubber soles for working on roofs and carpenter work. The bison leather should hold up for many years.

[@jangpd2149]

Perfect material for boots, another perfect craftsmanship for boots 👢

[@mariorosas7080]

I have only bought Red Wing boots heritage, but today I ordered my first pair of these JK, I’m excited to get them, I even paid for the 9 week built, can’t wait to have them!!!

[@xochj]

I absolutely love the look of the bison when it's stretched!

[@yourtypebeat]

Yup, definitely looks tasty🤤

[@michaelmerta8956]

I'm grateful for showing me how much work and workmanship takes time, dedication and skill. I think it's worth every dollar 💰 maybe hundreds, I'm just guessing.

[@dudleybradford6278]

This was so satisfying to watch, craftsmanship on a very high level 👌 👏 One day, I shall be privileged to own a pair like that.

[@sleddingfarmer8692]

These workers building these boots are impressive. One slip of the knife or sander, or even the needle... And the boot could be done for. They're very skilled!

[@suzanneh1605]

What craftsmanship! Creating not only a sound functional boot, but a work of beauty. It will be an honor to wear such fine work. Many thanks to the hard working artist!

[@jkbootsusa]

Thank you very much!

Hello Tim, after several weeks staring at my new double steel shank bison boots I finally laced them up. They’re incredibly nice literally have molded to my foot in just a couple of hours. This is my second pair and will be ordering more in the future once again thank you and your team.

Wonderful video making.... The boots look fantastic, what a craftsmanship.

[@davidsjr1119]

The attention and care that goes into making these boots is awesome. I really want a pair now. I've been wearing Thorogoods for a long time now and I love them but they don't look as good as these Forefronts do. I see myself buying some JK boots in the future. Nice craftsmanship.

[@md.abdulwaresh782]

Amazing craftsmanship, really beautiful.

Outstanding craftsmanship! Semper Fi

[@premgopal4573]

Brilliant. What an art of making a shoe.

[@we_croods]

I ordered a pair from Germany, waited for a week, and boy! they are awesome! light and very comfortable. I decided to call up this video to see how they are made..worth the price I paid for them! highly recommended!👌

[@jkbootsusa]

Glad you like them!

[@heikoweeres4500]

I did it in the same way😂 now, I’m waiting for my order to Germany. Maybe in 3 weeks their are arrived 🤞🏽

[@seymourscagnetti1413]

This is a very unique construction. Most boot makers (with the exception of Danner who uses a 360 degree stitch down method), use a combination of front stich down and heel nail down. With the use of the rear half mid-sole nailed down and a full mid-sole that is 360 degree stitched, JK finishes with a double 270 degree front stich down. The cut-a-way, or side view of the finished sole edge at the arch is cool looking. Impressive construction method.

[@M2164532]

Thanks for your explanation. Do you know why they don't stitch the top with the midsole before they glue and stitch finish sole? It looks like when you need to replace the finish sole (I'm sure it will happen) take it out the boot won't stay solid, especially in front part.

[@albertbell7120]

Having worn Redwing most of my working life … I can honestly say they look real good boots a pleasure to watch great craftsmanship 🇬🇧

[@deanclarke1181]

[@albertinafreitas6511]

Que trabalho magnífico.

[@JM-wy6sq]

I have the black forefronts and they are awesome. Just had them resoled after almost 2 years and they are ready to go another 2 years strong! The leather is thick and broken in so perfectly to my foot. Next time, I’ll probably have them rebuilt. Definitely best boots I ever had by far!

[@jkbootsusa]

Thats great to hear! Appreciate the support 🤘

[@uMalice]

wow. I love the look of that textured leather.

[@rogershaputis6415]

[@jkbootsusa]

[@_ninthRing_]

This is fascinating. So many wonderful tools & gadgets for making a shoe. Watching them using the edge trimming knife is so satisfying. I'm also surprised at how long the nails holding the sole on are.

[@scottnyc6572]

What beautiful craftsmanship!! I never get tired watching skilled hands make one of the most important articles of clothing.I will look into purchasing a pair now after seeing the quality and work put into these boots.Thanks

[@ericmoss8344]

I've been on the fence about ordering a pair of these Bison Forefront boots for a while now. This video was hypnotizing to watch... love the craftsmanship. I guess now is the time to order me a pair so I can have them by the Summer/Fall.

[@ericmoss8344]

received my Bison Forefronts last week. It's been too hot to really wear them around, but they look and smell fantastic! They appear that break-in will be a breeze and should be a comfy boot to wear. Time will tell... if they are all that, I'll be ordering another pair to keep in the rotation.

[@markd6123]

Man we should be able to give a few thumbs up 👍🏽 on this video,the craftsmanship is top notch !
