The 300 is a work boot manufactured by JK Boots and priced at $399.99. Built in honor of the 300+ million hardworking individuals that build up the United States, the 300 is marketed as the lightest and most comfortable work boot designed to handle the daily demands of American workers.
The boot is handcrafted in JK Boots' Spokane, Washington facility using highest-grade American leather, fire-ready materials, and stitchdown construction. It features a Vibram 4014 White Christy wedge sole and is designed with no break-in period for immediate comfort. The 300 is available in multiple color options and both soft toe and safety toe configurations.
The 300 employs stitchdown construction, a method that provides weather resistance and durability. This construction technique uses 360-degree stitching to create a watertight seal and electrical hazard (EH) readiness while completely eliminating nails and screws from the boot assembly. The EH rating provides protection against electrical hazards in work environments where contact with live electrical circuits is possible.
The boot is constructed using highest-grade American leather sourced exclusively from Seidel Tanning Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This full-grain leather undergoes specialized tanning processes to meet the demands of daily work wear. All fire-ready adhesives and materials are used throughout the construction process to meet safety standards for work environments, ensuring the boot can withstand exposure to heat and flame.
The sole system features a Vibram 4014 White Christy wedge sole manufactured in Massachusetts by Vibram USA. This specialized outsole combines soft, shock-absorbing properties with wear resistance and fire-rated performance. The Christy wedge design provides superior cushioning compared to traditional flat soles while maintaining the lightweight characteristics that make this boot the lightest and most flexible work boot in JK Boots' lineup.
The 300 incorporates a no break-in design philosophy, allowing wearers to experience comfort from the moment they put on the boots. This approach eliminates the break-in period typically associated with work boots, making them suitable for immediate heavy use.
The boot features a 6-inch top height that allows for airflow during extended work periods. This shaft height balances protection with breathability, accommodating workers who spend long hours on their feet. The design prioritizes both comfort and functionality for daily work applications.
The 300 line includes the standard 300 model and the 300X variant. The 300X features the same construction methods and American leather but substitutes Vibram RedX Fire soles for the standard Christy wedge soles, providing enhanced fire resistance for specific work environments.
Safety toe versions are available with composite safety toes that meet or exceed ASTM F2412-18 safety standards. These safety toe models are priced at $439.99, representing a $40 premium over the standard soft toe configuration.
Color options include Black, Brown, and Redwood, providing workers with choices to match workplace requirements or personal preferences. All variants maintain the same construction quality and comfort features regardless of color selection.
The 300 is available in sizes ranging from 4.5 to 14 with width options including D, E, EE, 3E, and 5E to accommodate various foot shapes. This extensive sizing range accommodates diverse workforce needs.
Standard soft toe models are priced at $399.99, while safety toe versions cost $439.99. Most sizes are available for preorder through JK Boots' direct sales channels. The boots maintain a customer rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars based on 235 customer reviews.
