A long weekend here in SA and woke up to this awesome review🙌🏻 I’m currently wearing a pair of our vellies while on safari in the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi reserve, they the perfect adventure companions for those more demanding situations🙌🏻 Thanks once again for those awesome words Carl
Would Jim Green ever consider doing a boot similar to the Red Wing Blacksmith for the South African market? I haven't seen anyone make that style of boot here.
@@anthonys8947 We working on something, not easy or fast getting a new style perfected with what we have available in South Africa but we are working on something. Hopefully ready later this year.
In South Africa the chukka-style boot is super popular for workwear (especially outdoors). It's great to see the rest of the world finally getting exposed to this minimalist yet rugged style of boot.
In Zim about 20 years ago I bought some cheap Chukkas at a Bata store and they ran me literally about $5. I finally tossed them a couple years back in spite of the sole being in good shape and the stitching sound. Frankly, they got to gross and smelly and I just couldn't clean them sufficiently to keep them in the closet. LOL! Bought a similar pair in RSA about 2-3 years ago. Price? $15. LOL! Customers and manufacturers in RSA are of farm stock generally...and therefore pretty good at producing and demanding good value. No surprises. Also, the Clarke's sole is shit and wears out very very quickly. No RSA manufacturer would stay in business if they offered that crap to Limpopo province farmers!
I picked up the Razorbacks on your recommendation, and I found them to be pretty much perfect right out of the box. The fellow at Jim Green was an absolute delight to communicate with.
This exact boot is my all time favorite. I work as a game reserve Manager in South Africa, the terrain I work in is rocky desert and is seriously tough on boots. I was chewing my way through footwear until I eventually got a pair of Jim Green vellies. 2 years of almost daily wear and they still look almost new. This is a seriously tough boot. Also the word Vellie is derived from the Afrikaans word Veldskoen (field shoe). The "V" is pronounced as an f so the correct pronunciation is Felli, like Peli the football player with an F
I’m always reluctant to click on your new videos because I know a purchase will soon follow. My wife says I don’t need any more boots! “But these are summer boots babe...” Great video.
That's absolute terrible advice from your wife I suggest locking her in a closet and order 2 pairs of boots Stat call the ambulance in advance you might not be able to after
I recently bought the Razorbacks. I couldn't be happier. They are tough, easy on and off and, once I installed my insoles comfy as heck. Thanks Jim Green and you too Carl.
Just compleated my first two days on the job in my new Jim Green Razorbacks. I am impressed. The roominess in the toe area is great for long days in your feet, and the sturdiness of the boot is apparent when you actually have them in your hands and on your feet. I took one off my feet and showed it to a friend at work, and he had me order a pair for him. I am allready becoming something of a Jim Green salesman. Nice boots !
Well I ordered a pair came in 4-5 days and let me tell you very nice boot for the price and them some. I wear 13EE got the 13 as no wides but fit well now I put them on w/ shorts and a T no socks and went to supermarket post office etc. Break in what's that! even with bear feet first time on felt like an old shoe I done many miles in and loved. Thanks Carl!
Carl... picked up a pair based on your recommendation- for all of the reasons you mentioned. Perfect summer boots and I’ve worn them with shorts and have gotten rave reviews. Not a big fan of sneakers all the time in the summer and I am way past the flip flop phase at this point in my life so the Jim Green’s are an excellent option. Unbelievable value proposition for the money. Keep doing what you are doing. Love the honest feedback and well thought out, intelligent conclusions based on you putting the time into reviewing all of the options. As per usual great review! Thanks Man! Enjoy your Sunday with the Fam.
Hello! New to the channel, but I’ve had a pair of JG Stockmans for a while... bought them on recommendation from a friend that saw your video. I needed something that I could put on quickly and get dirty in the elements, and these did not disappoint (and they clean up nicely, too). I cannot recommend this brand enough!
Being a fan of other South African products, I am definitely going to be picking up a pair today! Our pals down south make products that last and last through all the trouble you put them into and come out solid on the other side.
I think it's hilarious looking and definitely marks the boots as foreign made. It looks like some Steamboat Willie era cartoon character and not something you'd see in America.
One of the better looking chukkas I’ve seen. I’ve had my eye on them since your first review on them. The anxiety of buying a new brand when sizing is always different is what has held me back so far 😂
Wow the quality looks stellar for the price. They also look really good. Thanks Jim Green for being such a great company! Also a thank you to you Carl for showing us! Love it
Summer is just around the corner and some summer boots sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the recommendation, I certainly haven't gone wrong listening to you in the past about boots. Will have to look into getting a pair.
So glad I follow this channel as I really like Jim Green boots and was looking for something different. These chukkas look incredible and for the price seem to be a steal. Well done Carl on the video!
These boots reminded me of what my late father used to wear back in the 80s, especially the Suede Vellie Chocolate. I am gonna buy me a pair and show them to my mom, let's see if she would remember what my dad used to wear :-).
Well...finally hadar a chance to wear them and i have to say..thumbs up. Love e at they feel. The weight is pretty much exactly where i want it. Definitely not to heavy. One thing you mentioned which is a definite plus..insole was immediately ripped out for something with arch support. Made the boot perfect. I had a full day planned with the family. At first, i wasnt going to wear them. But, the degrees dropped a little and I said might as well. Glad I did. On my feet pretty much all day and my feet didnt start talking to me in the way of pain. Theybfit pretty much on the spot. Feels like a solid made boot and I have to admit - they look great! I enjoy wearing them.
Whoa !!!! Just got my pair of Vellies .... Man !!!! I put a set of lacrosse 6mm felt insoles in them and they're the most instantly comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet ..... Thanks for the heads up and great review ..... Cheers !!!! ... :D .... Oh , And I love how they look . Ha ! they even make my size 14 feet look smaller somehow .(an added bonus).
Great review! Jim Green has got some solid boots and is very underrated. I haven't been able to get my hands on a pair just yet but I can't wait. Even talking and asking questions with Jim Green has been awesome. Not only do they have absolutely amazing customer service, but they also have a great product!
I love my Jim green razerbacks I've had them on my feet daily for a good while and I love them great Thank you Carl for recommending them and Jim green for making such a great work boot
I'm a huge fan of not only the vellies, which I own two pairs of, but of Jim Green in general. As another commenter mentioned, the customer service is excellent. I recently received a pair of the steel-cap Bantams which I ordered from the African site. The quality is superb. Three eyelet with the same sole unit as the Razorbacks. The tongues are fully gusseted. I've also got a pair of the Razorbacks in tan which are stellar boots both in regard to their ruggedness and their unique styling. Comfortable too. Other than my Danner rainforests and a pair of New Balance running shoes, all I wear are my Jim Greens. I even put the frog sticker on my car. The pricing really is almost like stealing. Great footwear.
I've got two pair of the vellies, one suede and one smooth leather, and I ordered pairs for my wife and daughter. The quality of construction is amazing, but what I really like is the stability they give your foot. I've tried Clarks, but they don't feel like you can hike all day in them like the vellies do. The rubber sole on the Jim Green's vellies is firm enough that it resists compression, but for standing on all day it's soft enough to take the pressure off of your knees and hips. The midsole is stiff enough to support you on rough ground, and as light hikers or approach shoes they are excellent. I can see why they are so popular in SA. Well done Jim Green.
I got an Astorflex Greenflex when i was looking for desert boots, and they are basically a higher quality clarks DB. They were also actually available in europe which was a big plus. The only downside is a seam on the back which bothered my heel until breaking in.
Man, I love the stuff you do! It really speaks to what I geek out about, and I so thankful that we can all have an awesome guy like you putting out such great content! Thanks
You're seriously the one RUclipsr whose advice and recommendations that I trust most, man. I bought those Razorbacks on your recommendation, absolutely no regrets. Still can't quite afford those Nick's or Kreosotes, but hey, a guy can dream. Ahem, I'm a size 11, in case Jim Green is watching. I'd be very happy to get a pair of these for summer. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
I'm gonna try these out. $90 ain't bad to try. I had the desert boots in the past, nice to wear, but not enough support. My shoe choice is always limited cause I wear a 3E-4E and I'm a bigger guy so I need some arch support. Over the years I've wittled down my go to makers to New Balance and Birkenstock for casual, SAS for work, and Samuel Hubbard for the fancy stuff. I have some old (good) Florsheim Imperials for when I have to wear formal, but everything else I need that volume and underfoot support.
Loved this company since you first pointed them out! I’ve been telling fellow tradesmen since! Glad to hear you love the Vellies, I’ll definitely be snagging a pair of these too!
Great video. I love Jim Green boots. I've got the razorbacks and they are absolutely amazing. The vellies look great for the upcoming weather and I'll be getting the chestnut version. That's for the content, your videos are vital in the we world of leather footwear.
I've been wanting a pair of vellies for a while now and these may be just the ticket. I'm glad there are still companies out there making this style of boot that can actually stand up to some hard use. Keep up the great work!
I just bought a pair of Razorbacks for some archaeological work this summer, and I can’t wait to break them in! I’d love a pair of vellies too, though, haha! They look gorgeous.
Real fans only!! Love it. Also, curious why the fun ads you were doing fell off. Just too much work? I got the Taylor Stitch unlined chukka on sale for around $240 and have been really happy with them. Sorta wish I had known about these before though...haha thanks for the review and content Carl!
What a great looking pair of boots! Simple and rugged, but (mildly) refined! I’ve always had a soft spot for chukkas. Great to see a company taking pride in their workmanship, as well as a tried-and-true style!
I’ve had my Razorbacks for a year or so and they are my go to yard work boot. I’ve been considering picking up the slip on Stockman for work, or the Vellie for a casual boot. Keep up the great videos, thank you!
I got the Razorback last year because of your recommendation! It was my most used pair last year especially during inclement weather. These look fantastic as well. Such a steal for the price too.
I have the Razorbacks and Stockmans, and both are great values for the money! Just ordered the Vellies after having them in my Amazon cart for a while. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey there. Don't know whether it matters or not but in SA where they originate it's pronounced "fell-e". Good review and happy to see them serving others so well too
@7:00 mark you messed us up... They increased the price to $120 US ... 😔 Still a great looking boot even at that price. Still unsure of the fit, I usually have to size up to 11 for most footwear so I can get a roomier toebox. How do you guys find the fit in general ?
These look terrific, and for such a price, too! I've been eyeing the Razorbacks as a second work boot for a while, but I'll definitely have to add these into consideration as a casual warm weather option
Awesome video! These boots look awesome! living In Israel in the Negev Desert and have been looking for a boot that I could wear in our extremely hot summers. I have been searching for years, finally the search is over!
This looks interesting and definitely peaked my interest! As a suggestion, it would be nice to include some footage of them on foot/in action for any future product reviews :)
Love your videos Carl. So many of the items you feature are thing I look at and really want to own but, with finances the way they are it’s not always practical for me to pick them up. These boots however, are definitely exciting for the price. Thank you for all your great work and please keep it up.
First time I’ve ever impulse bought a pair of shoes on the internet because a RUclipsr told me to. I love heritage things, especially boots and once I dug into the history of vellies it became kind of a no brainer level decision. Thanks for bringing these to my attention.
@@CarlMurawski I loved the first pair of chocolate rough out vellies that I bought a pair of the smooth tan vellies. I've got plans to get the other colors when they hit the shores here also. They are pretty comfortable, wearable with or without socks (never thought I would wear a boot without socks but here we are). Plus its a feel good purchase for me, buying something from a company that locally sources and seems to pay a living wage in their country, helping out a place with pretty high unemployment, it all just seems like a win-win to me. Soon I'm going to try to get my hands on some Courteney boots, they are made in Zimbabwe out of game leather. Funky but really cool. You should check some out.

I bought plenty of Bata shoes back in the day in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Cheap? Yes. Crap? Oh yes!
@@mtkoslowski No one said they were premium quality....but I was amazed by how durable they were.
I picked up the Razorbacks on your recommendation, and I found them to be pretty much perfect right out of the box. The fellow at Jim Green was an absolute delight to communicate with.
Absolutely! How have you been Joe? Have you been playing drums much?
Same here! Great customer service and a fine company to communicate with!
Any comments on sizing?
@@zackerycarroll2946 Pretty accurate in my case. I think if you know your size well, they will fit perfectly.

Jim Green is changing the game when it comes to quality footwear at a great price!
I just discovered them. In the past two weeks I've picked up the Razorback and now this boot. I think they're my new go to footwear company!
@Carl Murawski just wanted to THANK YOU. I bought a pair of these Vellies and I love them.
Real actual eyelets with a leather reinforced backing. Finally someone using their head when designing a chukka!
I’m always reluctant to click on your new videos because I know a purchase will soon follow. My wife says I don’t need any more boots!
“But these are summer boots babe...”
Great video.
Hahaha tell her I said it's the last boots for a while. (At least one week)
That's absolute terrible advice from your wife I suggest locking her in a closet and order 2 pairs of boots Stat call the ambulance in advance you might not be able to after
Buy her two, for ever pair you buy for yourself. Female math. lol
@@canadafree2087 My boots + two for her= extra job for me
@@CarlMurawski Got ‘em... Love ‘em
I appreciate all your reviews
You're very knowledgeable well-spoken and down-to-earth honest
The vellie (fell-lee) is a huge part of South African history. The boers have been wearing them since the 1800’s.
I recently bought the Razorbacks. I couldn't be happier. They are tough, easy on and off and, once I installed my insoles comfy as heck. Thanks Jim Green and you too Carl.

Hi...thanks for ur review. I'm gonna get a pair of these for my 85 year old dad for Christmas. I'm sure he'll enjoy them.
I love the frog logo on the back of those boots, it's so whimsical haha
I think it's hilarious looking and definitely marks the boots as foreign made. It looks like some Steamboat Willie era cartoon character and not something you'd see in America.
The Jim Green Vellie is exactly the boot I have been looking, thanks for the review.
You bet!

Pronounced Fell-ie in SA,LOVE JIM GREEN!!!!Keep flying that flag high.

Always on the lookout for a great value. Would like to try these out!
Definitely going to have to get these! Your recommendations never fail to be spot on
Glad I always stick around until the end! Perfect timing on this as my Clark’s are just about clapped out!

I've been looking for a suede boot for the summer and this might be just what I need, south texas gets so hot in the summer for most boots.
Definitely, and they're resolable too when you wear through them.
What a great summer/warm weather option!
Awesome review, greeting from South Africa! Real men wear Vellies in South Africa, socks are optional...
So glad I follow this channel as I really like Jim Green boots and was looking for something different. These chukkas look incredible and for the price seem to be a steal. Well done Carl on the video!

First pair of chukkas I’ve seen and actually liked. These things look great.

Jim Green seems to be killing it! It’s great to hear about something a little fresh within the boot realm, well at least fresh to us in the USA
Really considering trying out Jim Green soon. Thanks for the info!!
I love your simple and unbiased reviews of boots and other products; just wonderful information. Jim Green will have a great market in the US 🥾
I think that's kind of shoe I've been looking for thanks man.
Thank you Carl and Jim Green. The Vellies are a more "grown up" alternative for casual wear instead of sneakers and gym shoes.
I’m gonna see how much I’m gonna fall in love with these boots
You're seriously the one RUclipsr whose advice and recommendations that I trust most, man. I bought those Razorbacks on your recommendation, absolutely no regrets.

Just ordered a pair! Excited to try them out
Love the show and would love the look of these boots. Thank you for the great reviews
Great to see South African businesses doing well. In Afrikaans a v is pronounced as an f. So we say fellie. Great video!
This came right at the perfect time because I was just looking at chukka boots for summer!

Loved this company since you first pointed them out! I’ve been telling fellow tradesmen since! Glad to hear you love the Vellies, I’ll definitely be snagging a pair of these too!
always wanted Jim green since you last showed them & now I have even more of a reason to start trying this company.

Got the Razor Backs last month after watching your reviews. Working on knocking the new off them. Very happy
Been looking to add a pair of chukkas to the collection-think you just helped with my choice!

Have a pair of the leather and suede chukka. Love them both. Glad they have up graded the inserts.
I have the Razorbacks and Stockmans, and both are great values for the money! Just ordered the Vellies after having them in my Amazon cart for a while. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wil aldo get the Monsters when available in US 11's!!!
Also
Right on!
Ordered mid-video, before the "special part" at the end... oh, well!
Hey there. Don't know whether it matters or not but in SA where they originate it's pronounced "fell-e".
Good review and happy to see them serving others so well too
Stopped wearing Clarks because of the lack of shank. Definitely going to check these out!
@7:00 mark you messed us up... They increased the price to $120 US ... 😔 Still a great looking boot even at that price.
Still unsure of the fit, I usually have to size up to 11 for most footwear so I can get a roomier toebox. How do you guys find the fit in general ?
Love the Razorbacks and these look great! Thanks for highlighting this fantastic brand.
Definitely looking into these. Never heard of them until this video! Always looking for summer boots to wear with shorts. Very Cool.
Definitely an option worth looking into, thanks for the review and keep up the good work! 👍🏼
Always watch til the end for a reason. Great stuff Carl!
I think I’m gonna try these out. I’ve had my eye on Jim Green ever since your first review.
These look terrific, and for such a price, too! I've been eyeing the Razorbacks as a second work boot for a while, but I'll definitely have to add these into consideration as a casual warm weather option
Awesome video! These boots look awesome! living In Israel in the Negev Desert and have been looking for a boot that I could wear in our extremely hot summers. I have been searching for years, finally the search is over!
They are!!!
Perfect timing! I just started looking for a pair of summer boots
This looks interesting and definitely peaked my interest! As a suggestion, it would be nice to include some footage of them on foot/in action for any future product reviews :)
Love your videos Carl. So many of the items you feature are thing I look at and really want to own but, with finances the way they are it’s not always practical for me to pick them up. These boots however, are definitely exciting for the price. Thank you for all your great work and please keep it up.
First time I’ve ever impulse bought a pair of shoes on the internet because a RUclipsr told me to. I love heritage things, especially boots and once I dug into the history of vellies it became kind of a no brainer level decision. Thanks for bringing these to my attention.
Let me know what you think!
@@CarlMurawski I loved the first pair of chocolate rough out vellies that I bought a pair of the smooth tan vellies. I've got plans to get the other colors when they hit the shores here also. They are pretty comfortable, wearable with or without socks (never thought I would wear a boot without socks but here we are). Plus its a feel good purchase for me, buying something from a company that locally sources and seems to pay a living wage in their country, helping out a place with pretty high unemployment, it all just seems like a win-win to me. Soon I'm going to try to get my hands on some Courteney boots, they are made in Zimbabwe out of game leather. Funky but really cool. You should check some out.
These look great! I've been wearing just sneakers during the summer for years, might have to change that now.
I love my Jim Green Razorbacks! Great boots!
