I’ve watched a million of these videos, and I just have to say that guy doing the lasting, is a true master of his trade. I can’t even say why, but you just know it when you see it.
a video where I regret living in Turkey. Perfect workmanship and a wonderful boot that everyone should have. I send respect and love to everyone. If one day they are sold to Turkey, I want these valuable boots. I congratulate you all.
I’m a welder/fabricator and over the last 30 yrs the one part that wears out the quickest on boots for me is the leather over the steel toe. I’ve worked jobs where I have to crawl around on units or concrete and the toes take a lot of abuse. How does the leather on your boot stand up to that abuse versus a Carolina boot or some other mid level brand?
Leather is Leather Either from Cow , Horse or Buffalo Thickness is what matters . I got a pair of Army Surplus boots for under $50 bucks , they are dated 2009 That's 15 years ago and they still perform like new , I got them in 2015 just 8 years ago , I certainly wouldn't take a pair of $600 dollar boots in a Welding shop but you ain't me , and if you want to , go ahead . I been a Welder / Fabricator for 40 years
I wouldn’t take these boots in a weld shop either. Too expensive. I was just curious how they would hold up. It does say making best work boot tougher. The toe is the place that I destroy the most.
@@frostywelder1220these types of boots are weird because the outsole sticks out a lot which tends to protect the toe. If you are kneeling and wear the toe down that way, doesn’t matter what kind of shoe you wear it will wear through eventually. One thing they have is rough out which helps a lot with the toe getting cut and worn, it’s more resistant.
Also nobody cares that you were a welder fabricator stripper machine operator for 30 40 80 90 years, I don’t know why you guys need to state that like you’re departing at an airport
Excelente, que bueno que utilicen el sistema de cerrado o montado, a mano. Le da el toque artesanal. Felicitaciones, es un producto muy bueno viéndolo terminado,, saludos desde Bs. As. Argentina
I was watching this on my chair. It was so calming for me I started to get drowsy. Around the end I was barely awake. Half dreaming. Thinking to myself why is this guy grinding the sole forever.
These boots are quite expensive but after going through the construction process and quality of materials used, I believe that every dollar paid is worth it, as you are making an investment that will last several decades if you take care of the boots.
When they mold the shoe around the foot model the nails they put in look like they would go into the model because they are long enough but the bottom of the model is metal so just curious how that works?
Вопрос к знающим людям: дышит ли кожа после такой плотной обработки клеем? Из какого материала нитки, которой пришивают подошву? Она не сотрётся от длительной носки по твердой поверхности?
Hoy en día ya hay suelas más prácticas elaboradas en troquelado y se pegan y se cosen mucho más rápido y de larga duración como las Timberland felicidades gracias
If youre welding checkout their ironhide. Leather on these boots is much thicker and tougher than what youre thinking. I love my jks... wearing for over a year... nothing else comes close to the durability
Hot water! This is a process we call wet lasting, where we wet the boots briefly and then stretch the leather over the last of the boot to pull out all the stretch in the leather. this prevents boots from getting loose and stretched out over time 👍
this might be a stupid question and not the place to ask it but just how much better do you think these boots are than red wing or something along that line? I’m willing to spend the money to get good boots had my Red Wings for seven or eight months they are leaking already and one of the toes is blown out from working, every day work in a cemetery nothing too crazy
Great question! We can’t say a bad thing about anyone else, but I can guarantee you, that the product we produce is on an entirely different level than anything else out there. From material quality to construction style and the overall handmade element, I can be sure you’ll get 2-4x more out of these boots than anything else
I desperately need work boots and I haven't been able to find anything off the shelf that will work. Is it possible to get anything bigger than a size 14? I wear a size 15 wide and I have other orthopedic issues. When I was a teenager my orthopedic surgeon recommended that I get custom shoes made but I never have. Throughout the years I found a couple off the shelf shoes I can wear. My right leg is 1/2" to 3/4" shorter than my left which is the result of shattering my hip as a teenager. The other issue I have is with my left foot and ankle, in my mid 20s I was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in my left foot and ankle and I received surgery and radiation and parts of my ankle joint has been cut out and fused with hardware so the outside of my ankle is wider. I was probably 17 the last time I had a pair of boot I could wear. I own a hot rod and performance automotive business along with a machine shop and metal fabrication business. I am always welding and plasma cutting and can't count how many times I have had spatter or dross go down in my shoes and burn into my feet. What I really need is a pair of size 15 wide boots with a taller right side boot to compensate for leg length and a the left boot needs extra room for the outside of ankle. A couple of years ago I experimented with making my right shoe taller, I cut up a tire and traced the outline of my shoe on a piece of tread and glued it to the bottom of my right shoe and sanded the sides flush using my belt grinder. I was able to walk so much better and even my back and posture was much improved, the only problem was the added weight of the tire tread felt strange.
Yes we can definitely help you with all three of those things! Theres three ways to go about it, come get sized at one of our stores if you are in the area, shoot us a call at (509) 487-0154, or email us this same response at general@jkboots.com and we will do our best to reach out to you 👍
Theres a metal plate in the bottom of the 'last' this bends all the nails back into the midsole and insoles. The screws only enter the midsole and are not long enough to puncture through 👍
We have 17 EE available but our composite toes wont fit, however we can make a custom fiberglass toe. If you have any other questions reach out to or customer service team at (Call or Text) (509) 487-0154 or general@jkboots.com
Love these boots BUT you need to cut stitching grooves in the soles. Have seen many photos with popped stitches on new boot soles. I'd build a hand grinder with a guide on it...could make grooves in 2 minutes. I'd be pissed if my stitches popped loose. Just sayin.
I have boots like these more than 10 years old. The stitching on bottom has long since worn away and the boots are perfectly fine, there nails and adhesive holding everything together
We have a sizing page on our website - ( jkboots.com/pages/simple-sizing ), measure your feet and get your JK Boots Size! There is a video on that page to help you, and if you need additional support please email us at - general@jkboot.com

Exceptional work!!! This boot is worth every penny you pay for it. The workmanship is very intensive and well-thought out.

fantastically made boots, would like to see them made in a lighter made leather. i think it could take off. job well done people.😊

Leather is Leather
Either from Cow , Horse or Buffalo
Thickness is what matters .
I got a pair of Army Surplus boots for under $50 bucks , they are dated 2009
That's 15 years ago and they still perform like new , I got them in
2015 just 8 years ago ,

@@mad0ucheit speaks volumes on his experience. He’s asking what they’re doing to prevent shoe’s prematurely wearing out. It’s a simple good question.
You guys are the best, just amazing skill! Love and great respect from Brisbane Australia.
Thank you so much 🙌

It's truly amazing, great craftsmanship.
Waw ! Realy heavy duty shoes. Is for life
So ❤️beautiful boots😊
Glad you like them!
Won't the stitches at the bottom of the sole could break off easily if we use on the rough surface like tarmac?
They will wear but you have adhesive and screws not a thing to worry about.
Sent my tester pair back now just waiting for the real deal 🤩
Nice!!
Do you use a different set of dies for each size when cutting the leather in the beginning?
Yes we have different sizes based on each boot size, and pattern!
I pray for all of you are and designer becomes-healthy
Thank you
These boots are quite expensive but after going through the construction process and quality of materials used, I believe that every dollar paid is worth it, as you are making an investment that will last several decades if you take care of the boots.
More than wonderful ❤❤
Just wondering, why not stitch the heel part also? I think that way the linkage would remain stronger.
Very well made boot!
Id have to ask how long does it take to break those things in
Love your work 🇧🇩
I love this boots love from 🇳🇵 nepal
Why is there smoke or dust coming from your industrial post bed when you sew? Does it need oil or is it just the environment?
Its smoke from the friction of the needle meeting the natural oils in the thick leather 💪
Wow , great craftsmanship!!!
Are your boots available in Europe? 🤔
Yes we will ship to Europe! You can order from jkboots.com
Pense numa bota 👢 excelente ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Where are you from?
These boots are very beautiful and quality that we need in our life time
Made in Spokane, WA USA 🙌
Good job thanks from Kiev
When they mold the shoe around the foot model the nails they put in look like they would go into the model because they are long enough but the bottom of the model is metal so just curious how that works?
The nails curve around and clinch the material together
👋👋👋👍👍👍✌️Super Boots !!!

Cool, definitely y'all got skills. (What happens to the nails?)
The nails hit the metal last inside the boot and bend back towards themselves. The nails stay inside the finished boot 👍
@@jkbootsusa okay thanks for the reply 👍
Un hermoso trabajo. Felicitaciones
Great job. But what about all the nails ? didn't they stick out the inside...
Thank you! No there is a last inside the boot that bends the nails back into the midsole. They will not poke the wearer's feet at all 👍
Hoy en día ya hay suelas más prácticas elaboradas en troquelado y se pegan y se cosen mucho más rápido y de larga duración como las Timberland felicidades gracias
What I really want to know is can yall make a coyote brown combat boot? that way dont have to keep buying boots and just replace the soles.
My future hiking boots!!
Great choice 👍

I'm saving up for a pair in bison leather!
...damn nice boot...probably would be great as wildland fire boots.

Trabalhei muito tempo como montador...saudades abraços!
How many pairs of boots this master performs per day/month?
These are nice❤
Such work is so beautifully done and everything spoils the seam at 30:15 😢

Bravo !!!
BEATUFUL!!!
Just amazing
Hermoso trabajo
Perfect.
Hi, does anybody know what they spray on the leather (min 14:00) and what is the purpose? Thanks
Hot water! This is a process we call wet lasting, where we wet the boots briefly and then stretch the leather over the last of the boot to pull out all the stretch in the leather. this prevents boots from getting loose and stretched out over time 👍
Thank you, guys@@jkbootsusa!! Just to watch the process of such a fine craftsmanship is so satisfying.
