The Evolution of a Bootmaker's Boot Collection | Prototypes, Inspiration and Creation

[@danielabel3826]

I love this video, you can totally see the pride and love for his craft just bleeding through his entire body language and voice. And I feel very similar about my boot collection, when Tim say “I did not forget about you” to one of his boots, I feel the same way when I haven’t worn one of my boots in a while. Can’t wait to get my next pair of JKs

[@ThomasSteed]

I dig the "not an iron ranger" boot with the roomier toe box. I'm actually surprised you didn't have a larger inventor of prototypes.

[@KitnerT]

Love this video! I agree on the sizing, I also wear a few different sizes within a small range and can’t tell too much of a difference

[@madspaniard1]

Wow what a great video and explanation really taking us on a journey of a bootmakers collection. Very personal and fun to watch and really liked seeing all the different boot options you have and have tested.

[@kellyhope4065]

Really digging my black 6 inch forefront, very comfortable, only critique would be the tounge tends to slide around when I walk because it isn't sewn in as much. Really appreciate the hard work, quality, and attention to detail yall put forth. Great work 👍

[@lucaspetersen]

Great collection! I currently have 3 pairs of boots in mine: a pair of Ariat square toe cowboy boots, Thorogood Heritage Wedge boots, and the JK fire inlanders. Can’t wait to keep adding more JKs to my collection!

Nice video! I appreciate what you had to say about sizing. It can be confusing. Good to know that more than one size can fit. Thanks!

[@nathanperry4190]

I absolutely love my 300s and have ordered a second pair. The only change I wish you would make to them would be to the tongue. I think the tongue like you use on the forefronts would be a lot nicer. Other than that they’re pretty much perfect.

[@themoor5498]

Eventho those Bison boots are beat up - eh oh! broken in 🙂, they still look good! I recently ordered my first pair of Custom OT Bison Boots (first pair of custom boots period!). I ordered a matching belt, which arrived yesterday. Awesome! It's a beautiful leather and smells good, too! I am so looking forward to slipping on my new Bison Boots!

[@climatechangelumber5480]

Hey ! My wife needs to see how good and normal it is to save all your boots. I have my last 5 pair like museum in our closet

[@sharonglowka2603]

Great collection Tim . I’m so excited to get my boots .

[@evergreenorganics]

I did not know your family IS the boot makers. That is a rare find in American manufacturing these days. I don’t have a pair of your boots, but I’ve watched enough of your videos to know the level of quality you bring to the table.

[@darkker1532]

Love the season, or task references. My pairs of Inlanders, have been my default anything boots for many years. And while my Forefront are very different feeling, they've been a great winter rotation until I get back out in the field.

[@patickhallenbeck3542]

make a video about the with and the different sizing and lettering that is used like wide or ectara wide is that e .ee or 4 e or even 6 e because different companies use different terminology . . and I love the boots i got from you . thank you

[@apleparulo3958]

Great video! You are a good presenter! I really enjoyed the personal history and touch, and seeing the different boots after use. I'm wondering, given your history with the 55 last, why JK doesn't have more options on the 55? It's also interesting how you like the 300 as an everyday boot. Great content!

[@johnversluis3084]

vary cool video Thanks its brings it home to all us wacks with boot collections LOL Bring more from JK boots

[@frankkitajima4339]

Awesome boot collection! I can't wait to get my first pair of JK boots!

[@cwoodside907]

@16:40 - 17:05 Respect to the fullest!!!! I can’t wait to get my Superduty S’s in brown in the coming weeks!! But, there’s a part of me that desires my Superduty S’s come in the higher heel arch like the regular Superduty’s, but with the lower top. But, I’ll just order another pair when the time is right 😂 Can’t wait to get them and try them on.

[@montebarnes8043]

I like this video it helps differentiate what I need to get

[@kelvinwilliams6999]

You guys must use better glue than the shoe repair stores here in NY. I've had two different shops replace the Cristy soles on my Ironworker boots (one pair Danners, the other Thorogoods). They both ended up with delamination problems. The glue did not hold up to Structural Ironwork. I would definitely go with that stitched sole. 👍🏽

[@Bearded360]

Those toe cap iron ranger looking boots are sick. Y’all need to offer those!

[@kevinmartin4801]

wow tim what a very interesting video that was a cool video learning all of the boots you wore. it’s funny because i have been

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Is there a sizing guide to compare a size of a shoe to your boots or any boots? I wear a 12 & 1/2 double wide high top Chuck Taylor's pair and need boots to give my duck feet plenty of toe space. I basically have spatula/duck flappers... ):

[@mikeisgettinupset]

Love the one with the zipper. Definitely want to see that more often. Also, which one would you recommend for someone that likes to wear thin socks. I don't like to wear thick socks, and live in Texas and frequently visit FLorida where it's hot most of the year, so thick socks make the heat even worse.

[@JennyTemplar]

On your peanut boot looks nice, I think a single color lacing would look more dress.

[@Yooper71]

I love that you explained to my wife that a guy needs multiple pairs 👊🏻🤘🏻

[@josephbrendanfeliciano6331]

I love those boots you have!!

[@Will-yp6ny]

Nice video. You really like the christy soles. Me too 😃 super comfortable and light! Did you ever go back to the V100 lug soles? I like the honey V100 lug sole but I worry that they’re going to be too heavy and hard on my feet.

[@ethanfish4108]

if that 5th pair was on the website right now, I'd buy it!

[@Lazytrailnerd]

What can you do about boots curling up. I had a pair that did this island it caused so much pain over time I had to throw them out.

[@richardcorti3921]

Thank you really informative video!

[@jaynern]

I really set my eyes on that 300 mahogany.

[@kelvinwilliams6999]

Does Vibram still make the Alpha + (red x) high heat wedge sole?

[@bernardosellers369]

Awesome boots

[@1979augistine]

Love the video's thank you very much

[@kelvinwilliams6999]

I definitely need to order a pair of 8" Forefront boots for work (and 8" fire boots for riding the motorcycle). #UnionIronworker

[@likearc]

Nice video!

[@davechuasoup]

I like how dads always get their kids oversized shoes, even if the dad in question is one of the best bootmakers in the world. Dads gonna be dads.

[@georgebrooks58]

I love the 3rd pair. How much would it cost to make a pair for me?

[@howardp924]

What kind if motorcycle do you have?

[@jasonmiller9495]

Man I hope you bring back those toe cap boots that go up at an angle. Kind of look like Iron Ranger. I’m going to have to call you guys. My Suoer Duties are excellent but I want a pair of Forefronts and I’m going to ask if you can make me those boots that look like Iron Rangers. Man those would be a big seller for you guys

[@jonathanpforr3844]

Do u guys make a moc toe?

[@redbrown1008]

You are so close to great! Make a pair of boots where the sole under the toe is as thick as the heel, you will achieve greatness!

[@TheVas1968]

were we can bay one ?

[@stuntmanroy]

Gotta make a Tanker.

[@andrewacton5885]

I want the old tounge logos lol

[@jaquima36]

Send me any pair of your used boots! I shoe horses I’ll give you all the feedback you need! Love the bison boots!

[@craigbrown2385]

i like JK boots, but something funny about a boot maker emphatically suggesting to get MULTIPLE pairs of boots. $600 a pop to "try" deferent sizes. my 19yr old son works construction and his work truck costs slightly more than a pair of superduty's if he gets the wrong size he is fucked.

Waiting on bison 300 for 450 or so...lol
