How it's made - The Arctic Boot - America's storm chaser | JK Boots

An inside look at how we build boots that can withstand bitter temperatures, deep snow, and treacherous ice. Notice our oil-tanned leather is completely lined with full grain insulation to maintain your body temperature without being awkward or bulky. This dense lining also allows the Arctic to be fully rebuildable akin to our other classic JK boots. Other notable features include: the weathertight design, sole that maintains traction at -23 degrees Celsius, and a neoprene footbed liner to keep your heat from being drawn into the ground.

Just pull off my Arctic 2 boots and I live in Wisconsin. They keep your feet comfortable and you still get the look of a normal JK boot. No moon boot look.

[@johnnymissfire8464]

I was just lacing up my new pair when this popped up. Supposed to get 15" of snow tonight so I guess I will get to try them out properly

[@terne57]

I was thinking about an Arctic style boot and found this video by JK Boots. Very nice

[@billhatcher2984]

That man or men are crafts men to the core they are worth what they are getting paid

[@GICK117]

Beautiful pieces of art, fellers. Yes sir!

[@Bearded360]

Every night JK is the first channel I check to see if there is a new video and I even looked to see if they were hiring. Love this company!

[@kornfedboy]

Interesting timing…I couldn’t my feet quite warm enough today as the weather worsened. I should have ordered this during Black Friday or the Christmas sales! …maybe St. Patrick’s Day sale??!😁😂😅💪👍

[@cadencramer2747]

Just bought two pairs from you guys! An off the shelf black Fire Inlander and a custom full roughout Mocha OT with black hardware.

[@Sacred-ENL]

How they treatin you?

[@KitnerT]

So awesome

[@pedroacuna7790]

Hermosas.... excelente trabajo.. felicitaciones......

[@instinctiveways]

Patiently waiting on my first pair...

[@robertrychlik616]

That’s the next pair of boots I want to get 😊

[@lorddragoncanoealexander5172]

Love them boots !!! Waiting on my 2nd pair now ! 16” insulated bison 🦬 leather !!! HooRaw so love watching them guys make them boots ! Shows pride and craftsmanship! HooRaw Jk !

[@jontaylor3112]

That is a sharp looking, well made boot! I just got my Superduty bison, this boot is up next!

[@bryanduchane2371]

How do you like the Bison. They will be my next purchase. How was the sizing compared to a tennis shoe?

[@jontaylor3112]

@bryanduchane2371 I love them, hasn't been a day that I haven't worn them. I would talk to someone at JK for size, I went a half size down from my Nick's and White's boots.

[@harveyspecter7484]

👏👏👏

[@dkf2179]

Can you make the same insulated boots with comp toe and thicker sole?

[@yanntees3388]

IM from Indonesia ,ai like your video

[@enlamadrepatria]

osea que esos clavos se quedan en la bota!!!!!

[@williamkush7562]

If you accidentally hit the leather heel of the boot on the sander is there a way to polish the leather back to good condition? Or do you have pull apart the boot and fix? Really love the videos, the quality looks fantastic!

[@Sacred-ENL]

I would imagine the shoes would either be scrapped or offered up as factory seconds with defects depending on company policy....

[@tiebear1]

Are you going to make a 6” OT Bison ?

[@blobfish7159]

I would have never though of insulation on the ball of your foot. Makes sense though, its the closest part of your foot to the ground

[@user-ev4gr1nt3o]

Tell me if im wrong but i think that insulation soaked in glue will lose it's properties, doesn't it?

[@ofarito]

Wonder, how much are they?

[@jamesrozival3974]

I’m very interested in this boot. Does it offer good support for feet with high arches?

[@Lexidezi225]

Yep. All the pacific NW handmade boots offer the best arch support out there

[@k.b.1759]

What kind of welt is used on these boots, Goodyear? Also where does your leather come from?

[@Lexidezi225]

No Goodyear welts in a handmade boot. It’s a 270 stitch down. Their leather most likely comes from Seidel and horween just like nicks and whites

[@ramtrucks721]

​...Handmade can be anything, these are stitch down because stitchdown keeps out the elements better with that seal...u don't know what your talking about

[@k.b.1759]

@@ramtrucks721didn’t mean to trigger you chief, I didn’t realize you knew everything.

[@jeanmartox3570]

Hello to France! Le tissus de Cambrelle n'est pas doublé de cuir au talon, dommage, en 1 mois je le trou, ce tissus n'a pas la résistance du cuir aux endroits ou le talon frotte, trés belle marque que nous vous envions, mais npous avons ici Marbot! Que Dieu vous bénisse!

[@mendezj1287]

I have a question when choosing ur size for the width wide would that be considered a double EE?

[@tiebear1]

Definitely stick to the JK sizing chart, it’s spot on. I wear Branncock EE and the Wide Width fit perfect.

[@Lexidezi225]

jK sizing is all jacked up dude. I got a D width whites and a 2e JK and their like the same. I have an average width foot

[@carliethomas3920]

What keeps the nails from sticking you In your feet?

[@jkbootsusa]

At 11:50 you can see the boot maker putting in a last the last has a metal plate on the bottom and this bends the nails backwards so that they don't ever poke your feet! we do have some other videos on this that are further in depth 👍 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3OuiZiLo8x9rKMsi=0L3LYF8dsfZ7_q6m

[@ufukgul3221]

Is there a metal plate under the sole of the shoe you use as a mold? Do the nails you hammer in contact with the metal plate get crushed and bent?

[@MrSpider182]

Yes, they hit metal plate and clench over,

[@bryanduchane2371]

​@@MrSpider182what metal plate?? The last doesn't have a metal place and neither does the finished boot..... Where's the metal plate???

[@Nathanael2jcBH]

20:27 did anyone recognize this or just me ?

[@reidkays9109]

How much insulation is in the Arctic 1 and Arctic 2 ?

[@jkbootsusa]

The Arctic 1 has Thinsulate 400 gram lowers and 200 gram uppers, the Arctic 2 has the same Thinsulate with an added Subzero insulation which doubles the temp rating

[@SergioPena20]

The boots look nice. I realize everyone has different tastes, but I don’t think those scalloped heels will ever grow on me. I like when they’re sanded straight down perpendicular to the sole. It’s really evident with logger boots. I think it makes the boots look like a pair of high heels. People like them though, otherwise they wouldn’t do them that way.

[@ramtrucks721]

Logger heels are for going up and down hills for that kind of work.. dig in and feet get less tired due to heel incline

[@SergioPena20]

@@ramtrucks721 incline is one thing. But why grind the sides so concave?

[@andreasr6632]

Same boot could be made with a chainsaw stopping material instead of thinsulate with a steel toe and be a splendid forestry boot

[@MiguelAngel-vb3gc]

Ya

[@evanleon1905]

How many pairs of boots can one person make in a day?

[@Lexidezi225]

It takes 2-4 days just for one boot to get bottomed they have to last them and let the glue dry. They could hammer out a pair in probably 3 days but it takes more than one person. Only the top boot makers can cut,stitch last and bottom a boot by themselves.

[@MassBreak]

as person who faces -45C winter this boots is just for short 1 minute pee outside, so sad :(

[@user-wj4pl9rn5e]

Посмотрел на процесс производства, и что-то обувка вообще надёжности не внушает, если честно. А прошивка подошвы - нитки поверх протектора, это вообще шик👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@anthonysmith4072]

I think I’ve never seen a boot where the heel was LOWER than the forefoot😳 29:30 you can see that they displayed them with stacked material under the heel to try and hide it. 🫠
