That walnut is a great color but I think the new Houston green looks good too.
@@suburbangardennewbie531 the Houston leathers are nice and they don’t seem to pick up blemishes as easily!
Numzaam is one of the hardest boots to break in. Mink oil will help.
It’s a lot of leather to break in, they look great and get comfortable over time .
Re your comments right around the four minute mark - those strips of leather you're tucking the tongue into _are_ the integrated kilties.
The general point of a kiltie is to place a layer between the back of the eyelet and the tongue to prevent the eyelet from abrading the tongue. There are other reasons to use em but that's the traditional justification.
Those extra flaps of leather achieve the same thing while being integrated to the boot. People have also achieved the same thing by gluing leather to the back of the facings.
So, by tucking your tongue into the kilties you're defeating their purpose (because you're putting the tongue up against the rear of the eyelets again); but imo kilties are largely superfluous anyway so do whatever you prefer. Happy trails!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
I just got them in the houston brown custom build. Zero drop barefoot. They are so comfortable.i have 8 pairs of JG boot now. lol.
Congrats! Eight pairs, wow!
Check out the Jim Green presale. The Numzaan will have tyre soles.
Nice! They have some great new stuff coming out. I saw a standard African Ranger with leather midsole on the presale too. Thanks for watching.
No, leather insole board though
@@j_crust4582 right, just a sock liner
@@j_crust4582 The "tyre sole" model uses "poly woven" lasting board and midsole. It reduced the price by $10.
@@j_crust4582 You can buy one. Jim Green sells a foot bed for the Ashley M last.
I got into a pair of Numzaans in early January when they did the early release. Absolutely love them. Wear them at least 3 days of the week. The veg tan leather holds up extremely well. They're definitely on the heavy side, but don't really notice it on your feet.
The new green ones on pre-order are beautiful. And the bronco leather on the AR's...wow!
Good to see someone else in SD wearing the Jim Greens.
That Bronco leather looks incredible! Thanks for watching.
I just ordered my second pair of custom JG boots. Super value ❤
Congrats. What did you build?
@xplorsocal2222 AR8 single-lasted, STG last, Oringo sole. A taller African Ranger because I didn't care to wait till December for the African Trooper. When buffalo hide becomes available again I may get a custom pair of Trooper barefoots.
@@dbmail545 the AR8 is a good looking boot!
Did you have to go up a size on the more narrow last compared to the wide rangers? I want to get a pair but am a little worried about the narrow last.
I went with my normal size, they were a little tight at first but have loosened up and are now very comfortable.
Never heard of them thanks for the info, big fan of Truman’s, but a zero drop boot may be an interesting option, been running in altra torins for 6 years now, could be the way, thanks!
Thanks for watching, love the name!
$250. Why? They probably paid $5 somebody in South Africa to make them.
@@Stephen_567 they pay their workers well compared to other South African shoe companies and gave them part ownership in the company. Thanks for watching!
@Stephen_567 What is the prevailing wage for factory workers in South Africa?
