300X

The 300X represents JK Boots' commitment to American craftsmanship and fire-ready materials, serving firefighters, construction workers, and other professionals requiring durable footwear. The model is priced at $399.99 for standard construction and $439.99 for safety toe versions, making it one of the more accessible options in JK Boots' handcrafted lineup.

The 300X features 360° stitchdown construction that creates a watertight seal and provides electrical hazard (EH) readiness through the complete elimination of nails and screws. This construction method flanges the leather bottom outward, allowing the upper to be stitched directly to the midsole. Stitchdown construction is generally considered more water-resistant and durable than Goodyear welt construction.

All 300X boots are handcrafted in JK Boots' Spokane, Washington facility using American materials. The company sources 8-ounce oil-tanned leather from Seidel Tanning Corporation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Seidel Tanning has operated since 1945 and is one of the largest producers of high-quality leather in the United States, specializing in oil-tanned, pull-up, and waxed finishes for footwear manufacturers.

The boot incorporates fire-ready adhesives throughout construction and features Vibram RedX Fire soles capable of withstanding temperatures up to 900°F. These soles are NFPA Fire rated, allowing use for wildland firefighting applications. The design includes a 6-inch boot height for ankle support while maintaining airflow, with a wedge sole configuration providing comfort on concrete surfaces.

The 300X is available in three colors: Black, Brown, and Redwood. The standard model retails for $399.99, while the safety toe version is priced at $439.99. The safety toe option features a composite safety toe that meets or exceeds ASTM F2412-18 and ASTM-F2413-17 safety standards.

Key specifications include the Vibram 132 RedX sole designed for all work environments, shock-absorbing properties for all-day wear, and a no break-in design for immediate comfort. The boot maintains a 6-inch height and incorporates wear-resistant materials with lightweight flexibility. Both standard and safety toe versions feature identical construction methods and leather quality.

The 300X serves as an entry-level boot in JK Boots' collection, built to honor the 300+ million hardworking individuals who build up the nation. The model is designed for daily wear across various work environments while maintaining the fire-ready specifications that characterize JK Boots' manufacturing approach.
