JK Boots:
Hands down, without question, the best outdoor working boot that I have ever tried. They aren't cheap and they aren't inexpensive. The break-in period was brutal
for me. But after some boot oil and a few working days for them to conform to my feet, I've never worked in anything as form fitting and comfortable. I wore mine all summer and immediately realized how comfortable they are after being forced to switch to a mud boot when the wet season hit. Once we get the extreme mud under control the rubber boots will get the boot and I'll be back to good foot comfort in my JKs. I have the O.T. Bison - Canyon. Yes, the JKs can handle mud, but
excessive full submersion in mud is unnecessary. They have a good sizing system and you can order different sizes for each foot if necessary. JKs are an investment, for sure, so I wanted to wait until I had 6 months of experience before I promoted them. THUMBS UP. Here's my affiliate link.

Update 4/5/25
My O.T.s are still great. Heavily worn and
holding up great. Still my go-to work boot. I recently got a pair of the square toe western boots (The Buck - Indigo | Chocolate) for days where I prefer the speed of getting in and out of the boots or days where I'm mostly on hard surfaces all day or running errands. Very comfortable right out of the box with zero break in for me. THUMBS UP AGAIN.
