Jörn boots, ok with strong legs/calf?

[MiBro]

Hi all, I hope you can forgive me for writing English. I am looking to get in line for a pair of Jörn boots, the traditional model.

However, I have really massive calfs. It is hard to tell from pictures whether this is a problem. Do they stretch out somewhat to adapt your leg circumference, or will that look and feel silly, like they wheren´t made for it?

I have already heard that the maker is not open to customer contact, so I assume it is pointless to ask them for a pair made to fit. Hence my question here, I hope somebody can answer it. Thank you very much.

All Jörn boots are made to order so if you order with your calf mesurements it will be made.
There are three models and a variation on the Classic with Peak.
Allmogejakt is one source to order from. https://www.allmogejakt.se

Hi seobserver, that sounds almost too good to be true! I thought it went more like “we will receive 20 pairs in may 2022, take or leave”.

Really impressed to hear that you actually enter the waiting list with measurements. I suppose then, that one can also ask for the very red-ish leather colour shown on some pictures?

Can anyone confirm that Jörn boots are such a custom made item?

Thanks again and greetings!

Yes, Jörn makes custom made boots.

However the waiting list is sometimes really long.
Jörn is a small company, about three people working there, and sometimes they get battalion size orders from the Swedish or Finish army and such an order takes them at least a year to produce.

The deep reddish color comes out when you apply the fat-tar mixed proofing. The color will grow deeper through the years.

Other manufacturers, for example Lundhags and Wilma Naturprodukter, makes similar products.

Here is information from a Norwegian store about the Jörn boots (in Norwegian)
