JK Boot Partial Tear Down - Champ or Chump

Alright…. Well I’ve had these boots for over a year and wore them for about 150 hours trying to find something that would lead me to believe JK’s statement that their boots are the ‘Toughest working boot’. After the initial break in, the boots sat until I partially tore them down to see what JK was talking about. After all, they did omit the McKay Lock Stitch and the Slip Sole… and yet they ended up with the ‘Toughest working boot’ that is ‘Incredibly overbuilt’ (Tim Khadzhi’s own words). I will let you watch the video and decide if you think I am wrong for challenging their statements. JK is really under the gun as of late with a heap of customer complaints. A change in strategy by JK seems unlikely to stave off further complaints if customers are not heard . This is compounded by daily reports of Customers and JK detractors being removed from forums and social media groups where JK has control. Is the 360 degree stitch down truly a better method and proof that JK is ahead of most other boot manufacturers and blazing a trail of new and perfected boot building methodology and technical wizardry? Considering the omissions of components and or bonding methods used by other notable manufacturers, I’m going to say no. JK appears to have become the Snake Oil salesmen of PNW boot makers. Call me crazy or whatever term comes to mind, but the visual evidence cannot be refuted. Decide for yourself - spend your money wisely!! Have a Great Day and THANKS FOR WATCHING!!! #handmade #handmadeboots #loggers #pnwboots #americanmade #customboots #franksboots #franksbootscompany #whitesboots #wesco #drewsboots #nicksboots #jkboots #leatherboots #qualityboots #redwingboots #thorogood #workwear
