When a boot company doesn’t show you the process of how their boots are made, I don’t trust them. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy my Jim Greens so much, I was able to watch and appreciate the whole process. I love watching these types of videos.
I love you guys for putting up with how clearly difficult the sole is on this one.
That's certainly one of the most unique leathers I've ever seen. I love it
I like the look a lot myself, almost as if don't want to take them out in the muck and dirt. Granted they will hold up quite well as after all are Jim Green boots.. but still cool look!
It’s embossed cow hide. Nothing special really.
@@Prosecute-fauci you must be fun at parties
@@Ilikehelmets just trying to demystify the material. It’s not crazy to assume that someone who doesn’t know anything about leather would think that they were looking at something exotic.
@Prosecute-fauci I know a lot about leather you ass. I just think it looks cool that's all
The shoes look incredible. Props to all the amazing people working to make Jim Green shoes. Would love to know how to the tyre soles actually feel.
Great video! I pre-ordered two pairs of these beauties last night, subscribed to your channel this afternoon, and this video popped up in my RUclips feed about 20 minutes ago. What a treat! Keep up the great work and soon the sneaky little frog will be a household name in North America. God bless :)
Welcome and thank you for the kind words and support towards Jim Green Footwear, much appreciated.
We wish you the best on your journeys ahead and should you have any questions along the way please do get in touch, we are always happy to assist 🐸🐸
I just preordered a pair myself gonna have a good time hiking this summer.
@@1950RetroMan And you'll look like a million bucks! Enjoy :)
@@1950RetroManhow'd the hiking go? Lol these left my feet blistered up after my hike. Never had any boots do that to my feet. They are tanks. I can't wait to break them in.
I'm totally obsessed and love everything this company does and is doing for rangers and in return the animals. I need a pair in my life. Love Jim Green 👍🏻👍🏻
I just watched this video AGAIN!! These are beautiful, love the print!!!
Your boots are exactly the shape of my foot, I will never buy anything else. It helps that everything about the company is amazing as well, thank you guys!
Received these boots a week ago. After about 20 hours of wearing on and off, they are starting to break in nicely (in my experience, my best boots all require a decent break in). I wasn't a fan of the pattern after seeing in photo, but they were on sale for a good bit cheaper than std razorbacks and I planned on using these exclusively on the trail. The looks have grown on me and I've actually had a few compliments. These are heavy boots and will take some getting used to (in addition to the break in), especially when compared to nylon/mesh mid height boots that seem really popular now. Having said that, I'm sure they will last much longer and can be re-soled. Some have commented on the need for new in-soles and I may try some in the future. They were pretty tight at first, but after the last wearing - 2+ hours with backpack blower, they have loosened up a good bit. I have wide feet and usually wear 9 1/2-10 shoe size to accommodate for the width (true size is 9) and these seem perfect at size 9 - nice wide toe box! I'm ready for an easy 2-3 mile trial hike now and pretty sure no blisters will form and look forward to getting them fully broken in. PS - the "Tyre" tread seems OK, it conforms around small roots and rocks and provides excellent cushion and protection without much foot slippage inside the boot. Once I dial in sock thickness and lace tightness, I'm thinking these soles will be great all-rounders. I haven't had to clean mud from the treads yet, so can't comment on that. It looks like they will need to sit outside while mud hardens, then use the old bang'em together trick - hopefully big chunks will fall out easily. I'm already thinking of future Jim Green styles to get for more everyday use and highly recommend the brand.
Rose anvil sent me. This is one nice boot
My favorite part is the padded ankle. So comfy
I enjoyed every minute of this process. Waiting for the live video next.
Going to buy this one soon! I absolutely love the look of it and want to support your company. I told a friend about this boot as well and he will be buying them too!
Update: Ordered these! Can't wait to wear them!
Update #2: Been wearing them for a while now. They were a bit stiff at first but after wearing them several times they weren't so bad anymore. I got some leather inserts for them and in order to make them fit I had to cut off the toe area of the inserts that came with the boots. The leather inserts are now shaping to my foot, and these are super comfy to wear to work. A friend of mine also bought these boots and uses them to fight wildfires and he says they work great for stomping out fire lol. Overall, I really like the look and feel of this boot. The only thing I wish Jim Green had in their boots was cork filler and leather inside the boot (under foot). Great quality boot for an even greater price. I get a lot of compliments on this boot when I do wear them. And I can wear them with confidence in any type of situation because they are durable as heck. Looking forward to my next pair of Jim Greens!
I just purchased these, on sale. Excited, can’t wait to see them in person ! I can’t decide if I want to wear them casually or as my everyday work boots ?! I’m loving the unique leather design, they should make some in black with white or lighter grey patterns that would be SICK ASF !!!
Your skiver is really very skilled! I'm impressed with how quick and smoothly the job is done
Great video as always. Saw Gareth on the Rose Anvil channel. Was a great watch and hope things are going well at the expo in Utah.
That was a way to relaxed conversation, Glad he had a nice time. Seems like a great boss to have and takes are of his workers.
I love it. Preordered mine when you came out with the last video
Thanks for your support! All the best for the Jim Green journey ahead 💪💪
Just got them today. Love them already lol. Thought they came with green laces though. Best work boots/ hiking boots. Can't wait to break them in
That’s one cool ass pair of boots!!! I love them!!
I don't have these but I have the African Rangers and they are my favorite boots! I would go nuts if I was the person who had to do the job at 10:22. It's like a combination of nails on a chalkboard and getting your teeth drilled at the dentist.
Love me some Jim Greens!
Trabalho muito bonito! Parabéns!
Wow y'all make it look easy. These boots look spicy :P
I wish y'all had this sole in bigger sizes since I always get my wedge soles resoled with vibram sierra soles this would be perfect for me
*@JimGreenFootwearOfficial I love seeing your process videos! It's very cool seeing how different kinds of your shoes are made! **0:57** What is happening here? Is that machine flattening the leather to make the pieces not as thick?*
*@JimGreenFootwearOfficial What is Afrique leather and which animal hide is it? It looks pretty cool!*
You guys are awesome! I wish you had some presence in the UK - there's definitely a place on UK market for products you make.
Good day and thank you for the kind words towards Jim Green Footwear, this is apart of our plan to make Jim Green boots readily available worldwide! 💪
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial That couldn't be a better plan ;) If you ever need a software developer / web developer - I couldn't be happier working for this industry, and even more for Jim Green! Have a great day
👏
When you say tyre sole, you aren't kidding.
Can we get a review on these. Underrated
Not a fan of the thick sole but the upper is beautiful.
Update - After putting 20 or so miles on these boots, they have broken in very nicely. No hot spots or heel slippage or need for special lacing. I was considering aftermarket insole and may still experiment with some later. But supplied insole has molded pretty well and I don't see a need ATM. Boots are much more comfortable now vs when new and fit like a glove.
Epic! Thank you for the support and all the best for your journey's ahead. Please do get in touch should you have any questions along the way and we are always happy to assist 💪
Bring this boot back with a steel toe.
Would this boot be suitable for city hiking on sidewalks?
🤩😍🤩😍 I say this in jest but IS IT MAY in the USA YET? I can barely contain myself waiting until my AWESOMESAUCE Jim Green boots are shipped/delivered! 😵💫😳😲😄😁😀
What is the difference regarding the 4x4 and the Razorback in this pattern?
Magnificent outer sole. Is there anyway I could get that tyre sole on a razorback or ranger upper?
These are a razorback.
@@usmnt4423 Perhaps I should clarify more of a traditional coloured upper. These is a little too much for me.
Good day and thank you for reaching out towards Jim Green Footwear. We do offer custom jobs, please get in contact with jason@jimgreenfootwear.co.za and they shall assist further on your query.
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Oooo I will have to keep this in mind.
What is Afrique leather made of? Is this a type of buffalo leather?
Its cowhide with a pattern pressed into it
The color and appearance of the shoes are nice, but the sole could be a little more solid.
How durable is just glue? no nails, seams or screws
Despite all this, I would still like to buy
The adhesive holds pretty well, you don't typically see separation within the normal lifespan of the sole. Unlike a cemented boot you can peel off the sole without effecting the structure of the upper so just being glued on makes resoleing very simple
Why does the leather look like that
If I remember correctly it's just a design choice. It's still cow leather, just embossed.
is a slick cool looking pattern. Not an everyday (yet) look.
awesome! I cant wait to see the bao boot next
