How It's Made - Bear Slayer _ JK Boots x Rose Anvil Collab

JK Boots & Rose Anvil proudly presents The Bear Slayer, a new twist on a classic PNW style boot - built for maximum flexibility and comfort for anything from casual everyday wear to heavy-duty mountain hunting trips.

We took everything we loved about the heavy-duty O.T. and adapted 3 main areas: arch support, height, and flexibility.

Increased Arch Support: These Bear Slayers feature a unique panel of leather on the inside of the boot called a "Medial Quarter" - a common design found in the early 1900s. Instead of stopping at the arch of the foot, the upper portion of the boot wraps around the foot for extra support - which is especially nice with the soft pliable bison leather.

Just Right Height: Traditionally "flex teeth" or "relief cuts", are added to boots for increased flexibility. And in most cases, only one relief cut is made, however we added 4, even deeper cuts, to provide the best mobility with our extra-thick leather.

Maximum Flexibility: Traditionally "flex teeth" or "relief cuts", are added to boots for increased flexibility. And in most cases, only one relief cut is made, however we added 4, even deeper cuts, to provide the best mobility with our extra-thick leather. Plus we adjusted the hardware pattern to allow for a box lacing pattern that opens up the instep for even more movement or relief from "white bite" that can occur.
