As a tradesman and owner of 4 pairs of jk boots I’m absolutely a huge fan of this company. I can guarantee you if you buy a pair of these boots you’ll understand what real quality hard working boot’s really are. I absolutely love all my jk boots and highly recommend these to everyone!!!! Classy people over there. The whole team cheers!!!

I got my JK Inlanders about 7 years ago. It's a fantastic boot and the service was excellent. One of the sons sized up my goofy feet for a custom build. He and John both helped me try them on. John really wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the boots. Then the son recognized me, about six months later on the other side of town, and asked how I liked the boots. I should go back and get another pair. I've got my eye on those bison OTs.

Cody, I bought a pair of nicks last year. Should I switch things up on my next pair?

This was very cool. I really liked his explanation of how the raised boot heel distributes weight forward and off of the heel, to keep the feet from becoming fatigued.

John is an absolutely lovely man... his passion for what he does really shines through and you captured that beautifully, Cody. Thank you both for providing this little insight into the handmade boot process.

Absolutely love my JK Superduty boots! I work indoors doing technology support so they might be a bit overkill for my needs however the comfort and support is unmatched! Avg 15k steps a day and I've worn these things for 7 months so far and they still look like new!

Very good job interviewing John on the spot. You really brought out the best from his experience. Very impressive when asking about the inside-out leather durability that you were letting John shine.

This was great! Thanks for sharing such an age-old and yet so fundamental craft! God bless!

What a great video!! The craftsmanship is so impressive!! Thanks Cody and Mrs Wrangler Star!!

I bought a pair of forefronts because of a video you did earlier about jk. Thanks so much. The boots are absolutely amazing and once you get through tue break in, they feel like they are a part of your feet and wearing them all day is so easy.

I have JK’s, very comfortable and their customer support is very dedicated.

This has been one of my favorite videos on you tube. Listening to a true craftsman and someone so interested in it really is beautiful. No matter what you do or love this attention to detail is what its all about.

It's great when you get the opportunity to talk to someone that is a master at his craft. The details are everything.

There's nothing better than watching someone do something that they're a master of and someone who loves what they do. Fantastic video. Thank you.

I finally got a pair of JK's about a month ago after years of coveting a handmade boot from PNW, and your videos of nicks and whites where what introduced me to PNW boots many years ago. This video seems like it was made for me. I got the Bison Super Duties and they broke in very quickly and are now the most comfortable boot I've ever had

One of the most feel-good videos I've seen in years. In this age of throw-away culture, it gives me a lot of hope to know that there are still craftsmen that care.

This was actually way more interesting than I thought it was going to be. JK Boots look like a very high quality product. I honestly love the direction your content has gone over the last couple years. The world (our country specifically) is going down the drain and it's refreshing that I'm not the only one that sees it. I can tell that your content comes from your heart and that you are trying to help others navigate the dismal looking future. Much love Cody from western Oregon

I have a pair of custom super duties with the bison lower and it’s the most comfortable boot I’ve ever worn. Great video and truly a great boot.

What a video! You can see John's pride in his work he's almost vibrating with it. It gives me the fizz watching men like John work what a wealth of knowledge

This is one of my favorite videos you have ever produced. People don't know the detail and skill it takes to make these handmade durable items. So fantastic.

This man is a true craftsman!Impressive hand work and knowledge. This is the type of video i enjoy the most. Thank you so much Cody!

THIS. True American Exceptionalism. 👊🏽

Sound words of wisdom. A man is either working on his feet or sleeping to rest for the next day's work. Procure the best footwear and matress, it pays in the end a thousand times over.

I wear a pair of JK super duties everyday. They’re by far the best boots I’ve ever owned and everyone at JK was a pleasure to deal with as far as getting my size figured out and the ordering process. I can’t recommend them enough. People give me compliments all the time on them, some of them have wild reactions when they hear the price, then a little time goes by and they ask me for more information about them because they’re interested in getting a pair. It’s a shame most people are so accustomed to the cheap boots out there and the “throw away” society we live in and don’t realize how worth it a pair of boots like this is for someone on their feet everyday doing heavy work. I know it’ll pay off in the long run with saving my feet and back. Glad to wear a pair of these everyday and hopefully I can bring a few more people around to the right side of things. Great job on this video.

Amazingly detailed boot building! Whatever they cost, it's worth it. Thanks! Old world crafted boots are the best.

There is so much wisdom in a TRUE craftsman.

What a great video. Makes me so happy to see Cody around the people we all love to support

This guy seems to really care to do it right makes me want to buy a pair of his boots.

After Cody’s praises of Nicks Boots, I was convinced I needed a pair of Nicks. I didn’t have faith in the sizing process, and there is a JK Boot store in Redding California, so I decided to give them a try over Nicks. I’ve loved my JK’s ever since, but was very curious how Cody would feel about JK’s vs Nicks. Now I know. Thank you so much! Love you folks, the Wranglerstar family and JK Boots.

Great video… you know it was good after the first minute…. Best product, best material irrespective of the price. You know it’s going to be a life’s work. Brilliant, brilliant work.

Look at the pride he has in every step and genuine affection for his craft. I wish I could afford a set.

Cody Thank you for bringing a light to this hard working man. Got to love how he gets after it in making kick butt boots.

This was excellent Cody! How can you not love seeing a man with tons of experience and even more passion, demonstrating his work.

This was so cool good job John. I was a snowmaker for 18 winter's and 24 total seasons at a ski resort footwear and ankle support is so important in so many ways.

Holy crap I'm saving up for a pair of these! Great video, its so refreshing to see good old fashioned craftsmanship and dedication to ones trade. I will wear these beauties proudly!

I ordered a pair of custom Bison Superduty boots and am expecting them near the end of this month. I was able to set up everything the way I wanted except for one detail... I wanted five eyelet pairs instead of the normal four (+1 eye pair and -1 hook pair... simple right?), but JK straight refused to do that. Pretty puzzled why JK wouldn't change such a simple thing on a custom order. I'm still excited for my new boots, but also a little bummed about that one detail.
