The JK O.T. is my go-to work boot. It blends rugged Pacific Northwest construction methods with a lighter, more flexible build and a shock absorbent sole so it’s a lot easier to stand and work on your feet all day.

An excellent lightweight, flexible work boot ideal for light duty work and general use, though lacks the rigidity and support needed for heavy construction work involving standing on rebar, ladders, or carrying heavy loads all day.
Strength
- Lightweight and flexible compared to traditional Pacific Northwest boots
- Excellent finishing and stitching quality
- Attractive two-tone Redwood colorway with rough out vamp and smooth leather upper
- Versatile for light duty work, homeowners, and non-construction users
- High-end construction components including 8-9 oz leather, brass hardware, fire resistant thread
- Gusseted tongue with unique pebbled leather design
- Double row stitched out construction
- Available in safety toe option
- Good abrasion resistance from rough out leather
- Receives compliments on appearance
Weakness
- Squeaking from leather-on-leather contact unless oiled properly
- Insufficient midsole rigidity for heavy duty work on pegs, rebar, or ladders
- Lacks the spring effect and support of thicker midsole boots for carrying heavy objects
- May feel disconnected when operating equipment or driving due to thinner sole
- Not suitable for all-day standing on hard surfaces in demanding construction roles
