>>2764964I hike in leather comp-toe boots which most people tell you not to do. I wear thick wool socks. Mine were made by JK and looked kinda like uncircumcised penises when I first bought them but look better now. Have always been relatively comfortable when you get used to the weight. White's, Nick's, Franks, and JK are all HQ'd in Spokane which is the nearest major city to me, so I know people that have them all and have good things to say about them. I dont think you can go wrong with any of those Spokane boutique boot builders. My most recent pair I bought were JKs just because the happened to have a pair in my size pre-made, and my size (13wide JK or 14EE standard) is kinda uncommon.
