Do they come in wide sizes?
Would it be too much to ask for a measurement/sizing chart? I'd like the actual sole measurements please.
@@floydblandston108Standard sizing. The US11/BR10 is very much the same size as 10W jungle boots.
Texas farmer here.
Your outsole pattern sucks, remove it and make it flat.
In the city where you have zero use for it I guess whatever works..
If you step in mud , dirt, dung, it cakes up and that tiny tread pattern just hold mud making the boot heavy.
Dumb design, shows you dont do farm work, improve it and redeem yourself
@oscarbear7498 then get the AR8 boot with the lug sole.
They looking good! Love how the boot came out in the end. All the samples and time paid off 🥾 looking forward to this one
As someone with flat feet, is there a chance there will be a non-zero-drop version of this? Perhaps with a custom order?
Nice timing on this design, I'm considering getting barefoot ARs but I'm hesitant because there aren't any reviews of how well it works.
I assume as this was specifically designed with barefoot in mind it should be good.
What would you recommend for casual to work use, the barefoot or standard African ranger?
Bravo Jim Green, bravo! Love from your home town (well Dargle to be more specific)
I love my barefoot African Rangers! Can y'all also look into a minimalist steel/comp toe for blue collar community? I use my African Rangers in my every day life and in my blue collar job, I couldn't be happier. There are some job sites though, that require steel toe boots, and that's something that the minimalist lifestyle hasn't quite reached yet. It is extremely slim pickings to barely find a zero drop steel toe, let alone them being quality material as well. The steel toe blue collar community is drastically lacking in a quality minimalist steel toe boot. I understand that steel toe takes away key mobility expected in a barefoot style boot, but if you are able to come up with something that just meets the typical work safety boot standards with a zero drop and wide toe box with quality leather, like @JimGreenFootwearOfficial. Then I believe you would be setting a standard and reaching a group that feels unheard. We would like someone to take up the challenge and I personally would like it to be y'all. Thank y'all again for an amazing product!
Next Collab idea: wide toe box MOTORCYCLE BOOTS! Still protective but zero drop with room for toes. Literally no one makes them. There is such a need for them in the minimalist shoe/rider community!
I use 877 redwings for that purpose. Not wide but barefoot feeling and durable
My kingdom for this boot!
@@FishinFreak21 I really like having something with ankle protection and a stiffer sole, I have wrecked and ended up with my foot/ankle pinned under the bike and was totally uninjured because of the protection built into my boots... I sure would like some more toe space though!
@@cordanez so many people feel the same way, it's a totally untapped market. They just do not exist anywhere.
Yessss….This is the main reason I don’t ride as much as I used to. All of the riding boots I’ve tried make my feet hurt
Huge fan of Jim Green's products. Very cool to see.
Jim Green owner here, love the whole vibe about this unique brand! These will be my next pair!
Freaking amazing. I want them, but I don't NEED them. My barefoot Rangers are amazing and I need to find an excuse to buy these boots. Thank you Rose Anvil and Jim Green
I've been wearing Nicks boots for performing forestry work for years, but running and walking in barefoot running shoes is easier on my knees, so I just ordered a pair of the barefoot African rangers to try out at work. I'm worried they will be too short to provide the protection I need for walking through logging slash though. These African troopers look like just what I need! I also love how they do a throwback to WWII boot design.
So glad yall did an 8" barefoot version.
Thanks for being a barefoot advocate and getting good boots to the market.
They have been a revelation. Took a week or so to stretch in my Achilles tendons but once I did they are the most comfortable boots I've worn. I rotate two pair as my everyday wear.
I have been waiting a long time for someone to make a barefoot boot like this it’s something that is absolutely needed in the barefoot market. Can’t wait to get a pair
NAILED IT.
Those are fantastic boots! The black ones are calling my name.
I'm keen for the full review. I have a pair of Barefoot ARs and loving them!
I just received my ranger barefoot shoes today. Kinda wish I knew the longer boots were coming, but no time to waste…Im on my way to the Vet… cause these puppies are sick!
I was literally on the verge of ordering a pair of the AR8 boots with the barefoot soles. I am now waiting on these bad boys.
these look so good. i really like how clean and streamlined the whole vibe is and i really like that sole. never knew about this style of boot before, but i really enjoy when there's a thinner sole
ar8's have been my daily boots for over two years now. im stoked to see them in barefoot
I have their barefoot AR. They are great for casual and work. I will wear them on projects that are in the finish stages. Wish I knew the Troopers were in the pipeline, i would have waited. These will be excellent for early season whitetail archery spot and stalk.
I would love these in the veg re-tan.
hope they add this to their customs page! love the AR8's if thats what theyre called off the top of my head, but not the cushioned top that they come with, this is essentially an AR8 upper without that cushion and I love the look
I so glad you did this, I was looking at getting a custom boot but this will suit my needs way better.
Fabulous! Love my barefoot rangers.
The black ones look sick. Looks like something I could wear to shows and be able to participate in circle pits with. Can't really run in my Whites MP...😅
I literally just ordered a pair of Jim green customs that where the AR8s on the barefoot outsole and bits
I can't wait for delivery! Wooooo!
Awesome, nice work as always
I love this new design. And, I love Charley Crockett's music!
I JUST ordered custom AR8s too 😆 welp time to get on the list! These are sweet🤩
Glad to see Jim Green is doing more barefoot styles. I love mine. Just noticed that they have a barefoot Stockman Chelsea boot. Gonna have to check that out!
I cant wait for these ive been wearing the ranger boot on construction sites for a few months now and i love them.
Did you custom order them for the steel toe or comp toe? Or no? Also which ones would be more ideal for welding? These new tall ones or the short ones?
@trust_me_your_not_that_guy_pal they have a steel toe boot called the razorback you want for welding.
Nice. Can't wait to customize these and get proper leather and soles.
I think this collab went particularly well. Honestly my favorite one since the nd1.
Very cool. Just wish they had distribution in Europe.
These are so sick!
Could they make a steel/composite safety toe version?
just got some ar8´s in the mail and i already love them
All 3 boots look great
Definitely gonna grab a pair
I have the black barefoot rangers. Can't decide what color i want next. Might go for the fudge to get that noticeable worn in look.
Those looks awesome
Really like the black ones.
Those are sweet. I just started a new job, so Ill have to wait until late July, but Im in.
I love the idea but hate the execution. The tow bow doesn’t have the same toe bump as the vintage paratrooper boots. Hope a second version is made available in a year because philosophically I love them but the silhouette from the side looks so comically absurd.
Wish they came stock as double lasted but I am definitely getting a pair. Looks like the upper hugs the ankle a little better than the AR8s. My stock ar8s and custom pair both max out around my ankle when I since them down.
These look to have more of the PNW curves that match the body.
I'd love to see a durability comparison between the different JG leathers.
Cheers guys, love the work you are doing 🤙🏼
These look cool
Wuld love to see Weston and JG's take on a Tanker. Thant may be outside JG's wheel house, but i think with thier leathers and construction it would make for a great, decently priced Tanker that isnt really out there now.
I wanted a pair of JGs in fudge color, but those Huston Black look so good in the model.
Gonna need you to make these rough out and in Coyote 😂
Trying to snipe some bulletproof duty boots eh?
@@PaperScarecrow 👀
Cape buffalo hide like my custom barefoot Rangers!
@@Podjr I'm with you though, if a 670-1 compliant boot of this quality was available I'd buy it instantly. Wearing through the mass produced stuff every other year is getting old.
Ultimatley, because of your video series barefoot february, I got into barefoot shoes. After a year almost all my shoes are now barefoot/ zero drop style. I have been looking to replace my traditional hiking boot for something zero drop and durable. I was considering the Lems SUmmit, but after seeing this, i might have found what i am looking for.
Shout out from South Africa 🇿🇦 love my African Ranger shoe
looks like an amazing boot! it's great to see more flat soled, wide-toe leather boots out there.
So how wide is the insole in the toes? and how will it hold up in mild to moderate rain? is there any insulation or it's just a single sheet of leather?
I need the dark brown!!
@RoseAnvil. Are still planning on doing a collab with someone to make a WW2 Japanese army boot or did you decide not to?
Not doing it anymore.
How come, do you know?
A pair in the fudge! 😮😮
Nice collab, I will wait for the buffalo leather option.
I was thinking the SAME thing!
I wanted a taller boot from my first pair of barefoot Rangers. Tried to special order a pair but that option was not available. I rotate two pair of barefoot Rangers as my everyday footwear and will absolutely get a pair of these. What time of day will the barefoot Troopers drop 6/27? I'd sure hate to miss out!
I've been wanting a pair like these since the original BF dropped, granted I would want the fudge with the fuzz on the outside then the would be AR670-1 compliant so I could use them for military use. The only 0 drop wide tb is the mini mils but they don't hold a candle to my JG
Nice looking !
I'm in love with my African rangers barefoot
Any plans for releasing the soles as a replacement to resole them ?
Gotta say....Thats a nice boot bud... danggg
So sick! Thoughts on Lems vs Jims sizing? Not sure what size I'd need in these
I had to go down a half size from my Lems to the African Rangers.
Put some leather zippers on the black ones: I could use them as station boots at the fire house!!!
Bro! Those are 🔥! luv them. Is there a blkout pair thats all blk(eyelets and lace hooks included)(work requires all blk)and are there a composite or hard-toe style? Would luv to try these for work.
Nice! What makes them different from AR8s?
any tips on sizing compared to standard nikes & other boots? ive never worn barefoot boots before & wanna get a pair
Looks like the AR8 (my fav boot from JG) but just with a flat outsole and a toe cap.
do you have any recommendations for the jim green of leather work gloves?
he definitely should make a series about gloves, the entire range.
They look great but what about the arch support?
Any plans for a roughout version?
Are these or any of the other soft toe Jim Green boots slip resistant for restaurant work and other stuff?
Damm, somebody just went crazy! I hope that l’atelier Monsieur will get them to Europe…..
Are you planning on an wider version? The barefoot AR are to narrow on my pinky toes.
when re-tan version?
Please tell me there will be women’s sizing!! These are awesome!!!
When I first saw the thumbnail pic, I thought these looked like a ruggedized JG version of the boot-height Minnetonka moccasins that one of my high school friends wore everywhere...
🤩🤩
I want that boot, but with the water venting and sole of the Vietnam v3 jungle boot. Africa has jungles too...
Not south Africa. Would still be cool though.
I love the goldeneye 007 knife first person view 😂
SADF should all have them.
Will this be a limited edition or a regular version from Jim Green?
I would love to have a pair of these. I would have bought some previous collaborations but actual wide sizes are never offered.
"Wide toe box" is not enough.
EEE on my left, F on my right for Whites.
Had my Nick's fitted and I have been a Russell customer long enough to have my own last.
Show a little love to the flipper footed?
Is there more room for the big toe to splay on this vs. the first Jim Green / Rose Anvil collab? That was the only reason I had to return mine and I'd love to hear this one is more barefoot oriented.
How similar in fit are these to the razorback boot? I just bought a pair and I don't like how I fit in them
Any idea what they would retail for?
These look faaaaaantastic goddamn
Still waitin on the Waxi Boot cut and review (kommandostore collab PLEASE)
Fudge 👍
Love barefoot shoes and sandals in summer. Love GYW/Heritage style boots in other season. I've been dreaming of a crossover that would look good. Haven't found it yet. This looks as bad as the other attempts I have seen so far. I suppose it's not possible to make a good looking barefoot boot. I'm sure these Jim Greens are great quality, very comfortable and great value! But they still look horrible to me. I guess I'll continue to keep these two hobbies separate. Closest thing I've found to what I want so far are a pair of Nicks in their Thurman last. As from all the "barefoot" elements I find the wide toe box to be key. Zero heel drop, no arch support and a thin flat sole are a bonus in my mind. I think the zero heel drop is the main thing that makes me dislike barefoot boots aesthetically.
I would love to see Jim green take on a moc toe
I just returned from an over 2 week hike in the Himalayas... Every step I kept asking myself why don't we have a decent pair of barefoot boots made?
Would love to own one pair of it doesn't break my bank
looking forward for toe protection for barefoot.
I don" t understand how the heel area wouldn't wear out in a couple of months. For me it would.
Maybe if I trained myself to walk a certain style, which is unlikely. I dunno, it doesn't seem workable to me.
Now with a wedge sole, or low heel or something, it seems like the uppers could be a nice boot....
Nd4 timeeee next monthhh
this would be excellent for an urban type artist/ graffiti, bar tender etc.
Damn. Take my money
I can’t be the only one that’s thinking this. But they look like a tactical UGG. It not a bad thing I guess. Either way I don’t have my own collaboration so I can’t talk too much.
I've been looking for a western inspired barefoot boot. Make it happen.
6 inch version please!!! 😭 I love these but they're just too tall for me!
Iteration Breakdown!
Wow those look comfy.
I can imagine going through soles hella fast with no heel back there
I’m totally sold for the Houston brown….. date of release?
The 27th
How does Jim Green sizing work?
They use Brannock sizing. go up a 1/2 size if you like a looser fit or wear very thick socks.
