@Giles:

I really do like them….Congrats....

@rocket:

me too, the 2-tone leather laces are also a better look imo. How "hard" did you find them out of the box, since I was really suprised that my Jobmaster were so comfy right away…

Thanks, Guys!  They weren't rediculusly stiff by any means, but having the optional leather lining makes them obviously stiffer in the shaft since they're twice as thick.  One thing I will state is that they easily have the most comfortable soles of any new boots I've had.  My main problem has been with the lace-to-toe design which rubs my toes a bit, but I think that problem is solving itself with each wear.

sounding good and the leather lining is a great option and add a lot to the boots…

@Giles:

OK.  How about these?

If you want a pair of really nice looking (in my opinion) jobmasters, you can get the packer upper and they'll look amazing.

Same problems with mine.  Had mine with a lace to toe design as well and it rubs the 'knuckle' of my big toe.  How did you deal with it?  Thick wool socks?

Not crazy thick, but QUALITY wool socks helped me.  I got a couple of pairs of Darn Tough Tactical Series and I think they're great!  Try them out and hopefully you'll get some relief as well!

[Giles]

Yep, those are great IJ

Wow…Those are beautiful! Definitely worth the wait. I love those soles and the longer ankle straps...

[natehate]

yeah those are fucking bad ass jack

[injunjack]

Thanks guys

and they're breaking in nicely, bit by bit. When riding season starts I think these will be fine. Then one couple hundred km's haul in rain, and they're perfect

very nice Jack…

gonna be doing some custom boss's soon
hows sizing on these run
im 12.5 ee in viberg service boots
and leather options? hows the black smooth? i read earlier that the black tie sucks and the black fire is hard to break in
anyone got experience with the black smooth?

[seawolf]

These are black smooth. I love 'em.

[seawolf]

crappy picture, but here's a fit pic.

[natehate]

How would you say it stacks up strength wise?

[seawolf]

Very tough. You can tell it's quality by its weight and how supple it is. It's also evident that it was thoroughly tanned as it's black all the way through. Not white or grey in the middle like some lesser quality leathers. I actually like it better than the brown leather that my Jobmasters are made with.

Cool thanks brother
