Love the craft. Most people won't pay for quality, and things are just disposable to thw majority. These should last and be well loved. Thanks for keeping craftsmanship alive in the USA!
Thanks for the support 🙌 We are proud to do what we do! 🇺🇸
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
GREAT job - they look very comfortable.
WOW!!! Those look amazing!!! Awesome craftsmanship!!!
The best video on custom bootmaking to date. Excellent camera work and editing.
Glad you liked it!
I love the contrast of the blue/gray leather, with the bronze/copper eyes. The buffalo hide shank is a nice JK touch too.
That's a slick looking boot!
Just got my 300 and already my favorite pair of boots ever and most comfortable. After seeing this I do what the Forefronts now. Hard the believe they would be that much more comfortable than a 300. Well worth the money.
Thats great to here 👍 Yes they will feel similar to the 300's yet are even more heavy duty with thicker leather, a leather midsole and shank!
I love this color
Have some 300s safety toes i ordered and I can't wait to get them. My dream pair would be custom 8" forefronts in grey leather with white christy soles.
Wow fantastic set of boots
I ordered two pairs of JKs this week. Can't wait till they arrive!
Cuanto cuestan ?
@@ALEJANDROGUERREROPALMA $400-600USD
First pair? What’d you order!!?? Submitted an order for 300s at first.......Then, after sleeping on it, I called our crew @JK Boots and we switched to some Forefront’s. I have a pair of Superduty shorts also, and like a red wine from the finest Italian vineyard, the fit really does improve with age and use, in my humble opinion. So damn good!
I ordered a pair of 300x and forefronts.
I highly recommend this video. Yea, I could do this, just picked up an old singer sewing machine and a spool of thread, already have a hammer and nails. You make it look so easy, excellent video, I like watching an expert work.
Appreciate the support 🙌 We love what we do!
I love the pink accents you added there at the end.
Nice!👍🏻
Good job
Very impressive!
Great!
1st class quality!
Thanks for a video without hype and annoying music.
Saludos de Argentina es un producto fantástico los felicito
Good day. It's nice to look at beautiful work.
Those are nice. I would really like to have that bell skiver for bible rebinds...You guys are good at what you do. Beautiful work.
First of all fantastic fabrication and care for the highest quality possible!
My feet are each different The left foot had surgery now shorter than the right foot which has a big toe bunion and hammer toe second toe extreme. Very wide feet. Redwing 877 were size 10 Henry (EEEE) back in the day.
Flintstone feet my Mother called em.
Thing of handmade by men beauty! Craftsmanship at its best.
I will order a pair soon
Most definitely worth it 🙌
Just ordered this same boot this past Saturday. Very nice color! Can’t wait to receive these. Gonna be a long 16 weeks.😅
Good choice!
Incredible craftsmanship! I got slightly distracted by the guy’s T-shirt tho. “Who gives a shiitake?” 😂
The areas where there’s threads on the outer sole should have grooves, so as not to wear the threads quickly. Threads will be more protected when in the grooves.
Gorgeous! Cheers from Minnesota, and Merry Christmas.
Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas!
Looks like YOU give a shiitake good sir!
ممتااااز جدااا
Прекрасные мастера! Я из России, очень-очень хочу такие ботинки!
Wish they would channel the stitch on the very bottom. Other than that, amazing boots and amazing construction.
Come on
I always see blue collar/craftsman types wear these boots & always assumed they had to be comfortable
Excellent video and a very high quality boot! My question is, what happened to all the nails that were driven into the temporary mold that was removed when the bottom of the boot was glued on? Aren't there just a bunch of nail poking up through the sole?
No they are clinching nails so they bend and go back into the leather when they hit the metal last. That’s how they clinch the layers of leather together.
Thanks!
@@rhythm618 I was wondering the same thing, thanks!
I’d like that Same Exact Boot But with Black Vibrim Soul Or a Rubber Mud Soul , But that Looks so Comfortable For a Daily Street Wear
Vibram sole
Оценка "Отлично"! Молодчаги!
Que trabalho incrível, essa cor é linda, eu tenho uma coleção de botas. 13:40 Eu ficava perguntando sobre os pregos não ultrapassavam o limite e furavam os pés? ...rsrs
Thanks! The nails wont pierce through the inside because we have the metal plated last inside the boot which bend the nails back before going through 👍 you can see the last at 10:52
Hi, does anyone have visual how does grey smooth boot look like with toe cap and black sole?
Waiting impatiently for my black bison forefronts…
You'll be rockin' them in no time! 👍🏻
Can you do Moc Toe boots with that style?
Ain't a ounce of love in the making of these boots😢it's just a job🤷🏾♂️nice boots
Добрый день )) С большим удовольствием смотрю ваше видео . как вы мастерски шьёте такие великолепные ботинки )) Я стараюсь тоже научиться шить ботинки с глухим клапаном на язык ботинков...но не могу найти правильную выкройку... Если вам не трудно, то поделитесь пожалуйста выкройками .Спасибо))
Ну да, разбежались делиться со зрителем, который еще и кириллицей пишет. Щас на Github выложат, безваздмездна, даромЪ! А если сльозно попросить, так и 2м^2 бизоновой кожи вышлют.

Is Redwood leather the same as Red Dog leather??
What kind of sewing machine is that? Name, model, type?
🙏🏼
Почему шов на подошве наружу? Ведь нитки быстро сотрутся.
Отличные шузы!!!
Is that color called Cadet Gray?
I need winter shoes 👞 👟 😩
Hi there. i’m looking for work boots.I am an auto mechanic.I’m interested in something flexible, oil resistant and 10 inch high what’s your recommendation?
The Forefront is probably exactly what you're looking for. They have this video that's very helpful too.

Добрый день . Сколько стоит ботинки как купить ?
How do you get the last out? Did I miss it?
Happens fast at 24:08 after heels are set 👍
👢👍
Oh, visited the site. This particular model costs $600USD.
Hand made in the u.s. will do that
The “who gives a shiitake” shirt may have not been the best choice for CZcams vid day. 😂
I disagree
@@jimdandy4329 great. Ur allowed to do that. IMHO It’s not the best way to say “I care abt my job” tho I do realize it’s a joke but most npc’s don’t know what jokes are.
@@jimmylarge1148True enough
QUERO UMA MAROOM OU CARAMELO ENVIAR PARA 🇧🇷

Overall it looks like a good boot. I would buy it. I just don’t know what to think about those seems in the sole of the boot. They don’t even look good.
It's a lock stitch, so they hold even when they wear away on the bottom. It's for function.
Many manufacturers that use this type of sole stitch through the upper and mid-sole(s) only and then only glue the sole on, which hides the stitches.
Do these have more arch support than the 300? How would the arch on these compare to something on the 55 last?
I have a pair of the forefront bison’s and the arch support is great but probably not as aggressive as something like a logger. I feel like if you need more arch support than the forefronts offer then you have a unique foot or unique needs and should just have boots made completely custom to you.
@@rhythm618 Or anything on the 55 last. Not sure why I would go custom, these appear to be a moderate arch. You say yourself, not as aggressive as a logger. 55 last + wedge. No custom needed. I was just curious about these. I have a pair of 300s but for work I like 55 last better.
@@averyj.steele1074 I always viewed boots made on the 55 last as custom. The forefronts don’t seem much different than an off the shelf boot. I forget that there are quick ship and in stock boots made on the 55 last.
These boots are no doubt high quality.... but most comfortable... biggest lie..
Ive owned my forefronts for MONTHS and can barely stand to be in them for 2 hours because the arch support is WAAYY too HIGH
WOWWWW NICEE
To me are the hooka boots
Where is the squeak pad? I’ve not it’s been left out in multiple builds.
Shiwawa😂
The winter boots you produce are very nice, but the material you put on the sole is a bit simple. Let me explain it this way, it is like you are attaching the wheels of a normal vehicle to a 4x4 off-road vehicle. Your company needs more special types of shoe sole rubbers. These should be both thick and suitable for the purpose of use.
A 4 or 5 cm thick sole that would make its owner feel special would be suitable for the winter boots shown in the video. Just as car tire manufacturers produce 100s of models for different purposes and seasons, you should also have the opportunity.
These are shop boots, not winter boots. JK has plenty of other models with lugged soles for outdoor terrain.
@@InGrindWeCrust2010 It produces winter boots mostly for eye-catching purposes.
The leather part is very good but the sole part is very simple.
For 4 mm thick leather boots, a 3*4 cm thick shoe sole is required, but I have not seen it.
@@ufukgul3221 I'm not sure what you mean. JK has an Arctic model that is a work boot for cold weather with more rugged lugged soles.
This Forefront model has a sole that's specifically suited to concrete shop floors, indoor carpentry, and similar work. It's not made to be "eye-catching" but for a specific work application.
Oooo boy! Them are some mighty fine lookin church ✝️ boots 👢 👍
OMG! I guess my US size is 10&1/2 and it feels like these boots are for narrow feet. But the amount of work and materials is ivery impressive. I don't know about sole longevity and stitches reliability, anyway boots look rather cool.
They come in a plethora of widths so if they’re too narrow it’s because you ordered the wrong size.
Whu you don't stitch the outsole 360⁰
Errrmm, I allso thought about that. And the simplest explanation for myself was - different forces tearing the boot in different directions, so they might keep statistics of weak points.
$500!!! In this economy, crazy.
hi, your shoes are still a bit expensive for me. But if you have boots size 8.5-9. Defective with nails inside or of different colors, but in extreme cases two left or right but with an 80% discount, I’m ready to pick them up from you even at the North Pole
where is the all nails?
We add a last to the boot that stops any nails from going through! You will be able to see a 'last' at 10:55 . This gets put into the boot and is the form that the boot is shaped around. The last has a metal plate on the footbed that bends the nails backwards into the boot. This is called "clinching" the nails. We have a video explaining this process in more depth - czcams.com/video/mBKXeUngJvA/video.htmlsi=SFas3ZzZAheryxvq
@@jkbootsusa thank you for the detailed explanation. I hope someday those flawless boots put on my feet. have a nice and happy day bro.
Нужно было постараться, чтобы такой убогой подошвой, испортить вполне приличные ботинки. 😞
Some cuffed jeans fairy on reddit will post a picture of these boots just to show the flaws😂
Need job have expiriance.
No pair of boots is worth 2000 dollars unless you just want to show off your money
Where did you get that price from? I think they are 500 on the site
Everything is fine, except for the seam on the sole, it looks really ugly.
by all accounts, that pair of boots should cost $2000
😂 lmao no.
You are the reason prices are high to this day. There’s always a reť@rd willing to pay it
I'm sure this company will be more than happy to take money
$11,650.00
No way.
I would like the boot if it had a better sole. And I wasn't impressed with how the upper was attached.
They have other models with different soles. And the stitchdown construction is pretty common for Pacific Northwest work boots.
$500....heeeeel noo
Have you tried not being poor?
U deserve some carhart boots. Enjoy.
Ps. Jk and other quality boot brands don’t sell to people wearing bow ties anyway. The wait list is too long to cater to bow tie guys.
They're well worth the AMERICAN QUALITY WORKMANSHIP, well worth it!!, these ain't your Walmart boots!!
You will go through five pairs of $100 boots, before you break these in!!
@@mad0uche @@Have you tried not being poor?@@ - really? It looks like you've already succeded. Try not being poor in da 3rd world and you will find out really quickly how it is to work better and get paid the same or even less.. HA HA HA HA HA! Harsh reality, right?
These are NOT the most comfortable. They are however one of the most expenzsivest boots out there. The fact that these manufactures keep making these boots with these terrible soles are crazy! For the price that these boots are, they should make these boots with rubber soles and not this cheap nike sole or whatever it is that will break down in a couple of years. You want a real boot? Get Ariat and not these expensive boots that will last 2 years then you have to go and get the re-soled for another $100....
Looks like the kind of sole they put on a Red Wing Moc Toe.
Bet they're not redwings..
