I like JK because he kinda narrowed the process down a little and seemingly made the boots that both are top sellers elsewhere, and some stuff he likes.
The Bison collection they have looks so beautiful, full of color, symmetry, just beautiful boots.
Love that you typically don't have to wait as long either. Nice job.
Definitely getting a pair this is a killer deal for the quality of boot
Mr. JK himself working like a beast. Love it.
Just picked up a pair during their Christmas sale. Super excited since this will be my first PNW boot
So satisfying to watch. I've been looking for an American made boot for ranch work. The 300X may just be the one.
Just got my new 300's this past week and right out of the box I can tell it was money well spent.Watching these videos gives you a first hand look at the craftsmanship involved.
Wow
Just went online to see the price
For that price
Best boot on the market
Period
Just ordered a pair, sure hope they fit as good as they look.
WOW. That’s all I can say. I have officially found my next boot! 🤩
I love it. Lighter, cheaper, but not flimsy or cheap.
Looked pretty flimsy. The leather looks subpar.
Absolutely amazing. These are worth every penny.
I'm currently on day 3 of the break in, and they are already as comfy as my fully broke in Danners, these should be like slippers in a couple weeks, even with the safety toe.
PLEASE DROP A ROUGHOUT VERSION!
I would absolutely love a pair of these in brown with an 8in upper.
Got mine yesterday. They are definitely not as heavy duty as some of my other northwest boots but are perfect for working at my warehouse and they are not 600 bucks.
Break in is going faster too. The quality seems to be great. I think it was a good buy.
The uppers seem pretty similar. Maybe slight less thick if rubber and so you could always resole in the future with some leather. I might do this actually. I just wish they offered these in a black roughout…

He makes it look so easy
Hello sir im cobbler from India🇮🇳 but your work amazing👍 love you❤ sir god bless you
This looks like an enjoyable job.
Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings. 😁
Definitely gonna get me a pair January first
Awesome! Ready for you!!
@@jkbootsusa already did as Chris Selsor 😅
I need a pair of those boots
I love the idea of the 300 boots, and in many ways the construction methods you are using for this line are actually more in line with my work needs than the normal heavier construction. But I am really disappointed with the lack of a gusseted tongue. Would it really add that much to the price to give me a tongue that I wouldn't have to worry about placing and would keep out the burrs and needles and such?
This looks amazing, but I'm still scared to try to order shoes online--they never seem to fit right.
Beautiful
Could be very easily made for tactical use with fully gusseted tongue, waterproof leather,the same 3mm vibram rubber midsole and a Vibram 121P Foura Zeppa outsole. Just like the Nick's at a much better price!
Tactical & water proof ? 😂 Are you breaching doors, collapsing your sectors of fire, engaging tangos and unlocking the room on a ship with the Coast Guard? That is not the type of boot one wears doing that type of work, my friend.
If it were fully gusseted, you wouldn't be able to get your foot inside. The opening is smaller than on a taller boot. You can treat for water resistance yourself, and I'm assuming you mean lug sole, which they also have, but the wedge is a Vibram, too.
@@averyj.steele1074 about the outsole I had the Vibram 121P Foura Zeppa in mind that has already a PU midlayer molded on top of the outsole.
Every boot no matter how tall can be made fully gusseted as long as you leave enough spacing to the gusset. There will be more material folding when you lace the boot though and that can be an issue causing discomfort if the leather isn't slim enough to fold neatly.
I like how Italian mod 94 paratrooper boots are made with a 1,5 mm thick fully gussetted tongue that has in the middle a narrow vertical lining of calfskin with padding in between that also helps if you choose paracord for lacing.
Totally different design though they are monkey boots.
@@cwoodside907 you do you, I'll do mine, you choose yoursand I'll choose mine. Nothing to split here each to his own needs and preferences.
Money burning a hole in my pocket for a pair of 300X Full Rough-outs.
That would be nice. Honestly I want some full roughout with that honey Vibram sole. I hope they introduce a couple more options.
Will the 300 come in a full roughout or roughout smooth option?
I wish I was a boot maker. Or a gunsmith.
So be.
Not to be rude, but what’s the sense in wishing for something attainable?
Make it happen.
I got a pair, but y'all left the nail in the middle of one of my heels. Its gone in the other, just a hole there. You can feel it even thru the liner you include. Wish you just added a leather sock liner like your other boots. Can i drive the nail back down with a punch or do i run the risk of damaging the shoe or shoving the midsole back down?
Was that a hoof knife trimming the leather on the shoe tree?
Some "potential" new customers would prefer Sole - Vibram "Black" Christy Wedge - give us options
Can you make this in Shell Cordovan? I’d like to special order with V bar sole instead of Lug
Now I want a pair even more
Can these be resoled once the Christy sole wears down?
Yes they are fully resole-able
Can I get the Vibram honey soles on these?!
That’s what we all want to know. 😂 could always do a custom jobber with another style but then you’re breaking the bank.
Where’s the midsole?
They put it on at 16:00.
It’s rubber. It’s the black strip they put in. It definitely cuts some of the price off.
Ordered a pair last week. Looks like you forgot to show the black wedge piece that goes in after the midsole and before the Vibram sole. Unless he forgot it on this boot :-) looks like it’s in there just forgot to film it
Poor filming here. Filming is not about constant movement.
