That boot looks great. Would love to see the black and brown super duty’s with red x outsole those light edges. I have black and brown and now I need those gray SDs!
@@k.b.1759 They don't. It's stitchdown construction. Where a GYW boot tucks in the leather in the upper and attaches a welt around it, here they splay the leather out over the midsole and then stitch the two directly together. If you google 'stitchdown construction' you can find diagrams that visualise it very well.
@@k.b.1759 I'm not a boot maker but yes stitchdown is a great construction method. They both have their pros and cons but there's a reason the PNW brands use it, and they make some of the best and toughest boots in the world. Stitchdown is simpler, but actually better in many ways such as being more water resistant.
Great looking boots. I’m not a fan of the MetTarsal guard. I’m impressed either the thickness of the leather over the composite toe. Crawling around on concrete trying to build a excavator bucket can tear up a pair of boots over the toe.
Ugh I shouldn't have watched this!! Can't wait till mine finally show up! Weird how tradesmen (or at least me) love well made custom work boots so much!
My eight year old kids just watched the whole video and we’re fascinated the entire time.
Watching this in the hopes I see my superdutys being built in the background

Was just looking at new boots for welding!
This is brilliant!!! Those boots must be so heavy you'd need to leave a half an hour earlier every day to be at work on time.
Unbelievable video wow packed full of know how thanks for showing your knowledge and expertise.
I love my new boots from you guys.
So it takes 2 cows , 27 miles of thread , 1000 nails , half a car tire , 2 pounds of brass , and 8 guys to build 1 pair of boots ?
That sure is a pair of rugged looking boots.
i see why these shoes are expensive. it's very fantastic work
Wow, what a boot. How would you lace up the flap on the boot? Not a welder, never seen something like it.
Thanks! Basically a standard lacing pattern but the laces will run through the two eyelets on the metguard!
I WISH I CAN WORK THERE SO I CAN LEARN
Good job❤
impressive
Do Jk boots have Goodyear welts? Where does the leather come from?
No we don't do Goodyear welts, and our leather is sourced in the USA!
@@jkbootsusa what kind of welts do you use?

@@SolidGoldHedgehog is this good? I always thought a hand stitch welt on a boot was more preferred?

It's a welding boot...
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TYPE LEATHER IS THAT??????
????PLEASE
The uppers are oil-tanned 8-9oz bovine leather, and the insole/midsole/shank is made from solid oak (or veg) tanned leather.

Beautiful!
