This is such a great addition to the barefoot options out there! I remember learning about the African Rangers about a year ago and being so tempted despite usually only wearing barefoot shoes. Seeing the development of a barefoot version is more than I could have hoped for! I am really looking forward to getting my hands on a pair of these and finally having a pair of barefoot boots that are rugged, well built, and resolable. Thanks for all your hard work!
Good day and Congratulations! Thanks for the great words and feedback, you are our winner of the Barefoot Jim Green Boots. We have been blown away by the support towards our Barefoot African Ranger and the donations to follow from the purchases shall go a long way for the Rangers, enjoy the journey ahead and we can't wait to hear the feedback. Please get in touch with jason@jimgreenfootwear.co.za and they shall assist further with getting the pair in your hands and on your feet.💪🐸
I got a pair and liked them so much that I purchased a conventional pair of AR's a week later. Quite a value.
Finally, my search is over! I'm pushing 73 years old. Both my grandfathers were boot makers; one from Germany, the other from Croatia. Both, along with my dad, have instilled in me the passion for quality foot wear and to avoid 97% of the garbage out there. As a believer in the 'barefoot' concept my search is over for the highest quality (unless you outdo yourself and I will be watching you) barefoot boot available. Thank you, from the bottom of my soles, for this long overdue boot. Respectfully, Tom
Hi Tom! Thank you for the great words and support. We look forward to the feedback ahead from your journey's with your Barefoot Rangers, we cannot wait to roll all the boots out onto feet! Enjoy the weekends adventures ahead and we are always a message away should you have any questions along the way! 💪
I have also been waiting for someone to do this for at least a decade now. 😊
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficialyou lot are a bloody class act, bravo and sterkte!
Can't wait to get mine. I was looking at ordering and problem waiting a few months for the next batch then one suddenly showed up on Ebay because it was slightly too small, 1 half size up which is perfect since I want to be able to put a buffalo felt insole for winter use. Should have them Friday, definitely excited.
I love the fact that instead of creating a whole new boot you created a variation of popular boot to increase the market and reach out to wider audience.
These are great. As someone who exclusively wears barefoot shoes, these have ticked every box. I feel like y’all and Rose Anvil built a boot that the barefoot community will gravitate toward. Very practical, durable, flexible, rugged and stylish. I am definitely looking forward to the green variant as well!
We take huge pride in crafting Footwear with Attitude that is Built to Last, thanks for the great feedback and all the best for the Jim Green journey's ahead 🐸🐸
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial when these will be available in EU? I see that there are the non-barefoot models still available but any eta on when the barefoot ones will be available?
@@DeniqueBeer Hello +1 for EU please. Also any Winter variant? I need me a pair of these! I also know 2 other people who would buy. I think your missing out on big business here!
Finally a real work boot Barefoot was born. Or how the traditional should be designed
💪💪
Finally, we have good-looking barefoot shoes. Lems were the only acceptable option to me. Until now.
Just bought a new pair of lems too……. Oh well goodbye money.
I just couldn't do the Lems style. These look so much better
Same I was about to buy another pair of lems boulder but leather and the canvas chukka but not now. I may by a second pair just for hiking as well. I'm pretty sure these our going to be that awesome.
Have you looked at Senmotic?
Quite good quality german shoes that looks nice.
I have one of the winter shoes that are nice shoes although the winter intended is probably european continent winter not nordic winter like we have in the north of Sweden. 🙂
Hi. I am wearing a black African Ranger boots now. I have a foot arch fitted into the boots made by an Orthidic and Prothesis due to my foot pain. Just wondering if I can wear my foot arch in the Jim Green bare foot range. Jack.
Finally, rugged, bush worthy barefoot boots. These are going to be huge hit when American barefooter's get the message. Jim Green is breaking boundries!!! Cheers from Canada.
@ruger6049 we appreciate your support and kind words all the way from Canada and can't wait to see how they do in the American market.
I shared this comment on Rose Anvil, but figured it couldn't hurt to share it here as well: I just placed my order for the Barefoot Boots plus a Freedom Bracelet! Went back-and-forth on the boot color, but ultimately went with Fudge for its patina factor. Huge kudos to Jim Green for reaching out to Rose Anvil, for being open to creating a pretty significant variation on a core product, and for taking the financial risk on pre-manufacturing a reasonably large run of these boots. And huge kudos as well to Weston at Rose Anvil for making such great choices on this boot! As many other commenters have noted, this is exactly what I've been looking for for some time-a genuine work boot that's anatomically shaped and features no heel-ball offset. Thank you to Jim Green and Rose Anvil for bringing this product into the world! Finally, a big thanks to Jim Green as well for continuing to work with the GRAA to get quality boots to rangers on the front lines of vital conservation efforts!🙌🏻
Thanks for the epic feedback and support! We have had a great time and journey getting these boots to their final product with the Rose Anvil team. We cannot wait to see the unique adventures the Barefoot Rangers head out on across the world in the near future. A huge thank you to all our customers in the community that have supported the #BootsForRangers campaign as this would not be possible without the immense support from each and every purchase of the African Ranger style💪 Enjoy the weekends adventures ahead 🐸🐸
whats crazy is this risk played off insane, not even two weeks and theyre all gone.
@@zzzetsuliverisky yes...but not really considering the competition isn't doing anything close :)
Finally, a barefoot boot that's actually a boot! Looks great.
That olive green leather is gorgeous and makes the design really pop - goes so beautifully with the green shoelaces. I'm thrilled you have included smaller sizes for women in the range available in South Africa.
+1 on the olive green leather-please do offer the African Ranger Barefoot in that color! I just ordered a pair in Fudge, and those Olive Greens would be a fantastic complement when I want to mix things up a bit.
Thanks for the great words and feedback! Along with the smaller sizes we are working on our new and improved ladies range, which shall be hitting the store in the near future!🐸 Enjoy the weekend ahead and we are always happy to assist should you have any questions along the way 💪
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial I love my Vibram FiveFingers. I don't love it when thorns etc poke between the toes.
I'm loving my Monster Boots ( size 4 - my lucky find from over a year ago) and Monster Stockmans but the Stockmans are a size 5 and too big to wear without at least two layers of thick socks. This isn't ideal for the hot weather now.
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficialyes please! Andnif would keep these in the line up for ladies I know I will appreciate it. :)
As a carpenter, I've been looking for a boot like this for literally years. I've bought them all. Xero, Vivo, Lems - they just haven't been able to handle the work that I do for a living. These look so good! Can't wait to get a pair!!!
I like that there’s a barefoot boot that actually seems to be made the same way a traditional boot is made rather than being super flimsy. Love the colors!
Personally I've run into problems with standard boots due to my flat arch and wide feet. Barefoot boots seems to relieve both these issues and you folks over at Jim Green have done a lovely job making not only a good looking boot, but a functional one for the type of terrain it's needed for. Fantastic work!👍
🐸💪🐸
Came her after watching Rose Anvil's video and I have to say I'm truly impressed by the quality of the boot and to see it work in such a great way in real life conditions. I love the no-nonsense construction of the shoes: simply great materials put together in a very smart fashion. It's also great that these are barefoot which is just the icing onthe cake for those of us looking for great boots but wanting to avoid the 10mm+ heel to toe drops.
Thanks for this much needed product! Keep up the great work!
For years, I've been on the hunt for a reasonably priced zero drop style boot that's well-crafted, and stumbling upon one from one of my favorite brands feels like a dream come true! The sturdy sole construction, the gorgeous olive green leather, and the commitment to quality from Jim Green are all things I truly appreciate. Keep up the fantastic work!
I love the idea of a durable, full leather, built to last able be resoled boot. Just found out about these today so I missed the initial run unfortunately. They look great and I look forward to getting a pair at some point!
I've been looking for a well-made affordable zero drop style boot for years, and seeing one made by one of my favorite brands is a dream come true! A hearty sole construction, the beautiful olive green leather, and the Jim Green promise of quality. Keep up the great work!
You guys finally did what a lot of us barefooters have been wanting for years. A great looking well made durable barefoot boot! I purchased a pair today as soon as I could and can’t wait to start breaking them in.
How are they so far
Preserving the silhouette of the upper is really great to see. Both models feel like they have such a utilitarian, no frills, heritage design that makes them feel like they don't *belong* on the trail. It's a sharp looking shoe, and for the humanitarian efforts the brand is involved with, its really difficult to not want a pair around town as well and explain the story behind them.
Really like the idea of the all leather upper design with no fabric on the inner heel to wear out to fast and make the boot uncomfortable and un wearable
Never tried any barefoot boots before, I am guessing they are awesome for sand walking, I really like the new soles., my soles on my buffalo rangers get pretty slippery when wet, maybe these soles will cure the slick feeling
I am really looking forward to using Jim green on safari, chasing buffalo around the bush then looking for kudu and eland in Namibian hills
Hopefully we see y’all at the Dallas safari club convention to show off your beautiful safari foot wear
Very glad you mentioned the transition to barefoot.
Thanks for making the boots, they look great. The whole category of zero-drop boots needs to have more choices. Looking forward to trying them on at some point in the future. Best wishes Hope they sell well. Rose Anvil I trust and by association, I am a lot more willing to try Jim Green.
A lot of barefoot shoes are constructed more like sneakers than traditional dress shoes or boots. Even those that are marketed as either dress shoes or boots are constructed like sneakers more often than not. It's good to see a genuine barefoot boot hit the market. I hope this style of boot will remain a consistent item you keep available for sale.
I prefer to have a heel on my boots, but I‘m glad to see Jim Green advancing the brand and adding more leather to the sole construction. Looking forward to see what the future brings.
Why does a barefoot shoe built for hiking still have to be able to fold in half? I hiked the Appalachian Trail and alot of others. My biggest foot discomfort is rocks punching up thru my running shoes and making my feet sore. I can’t imagine doing 14 mile days… Day after day through the Pennsylvania rocks… Or up here in Alaska on rocky trails, With a 30 to 40 pound pack, and not just feeling like your feet are getting horribly abused in these boots. So, I guess what I’m wondering is… it seems like hyper flexibility of the sole is an essential component of a barefoot shoe. But what if you made a zero drop shoe that actually had good underside foot protection by using a steel shank. That would not be a barefoot shoe, but you still could call it a zero drop shoe. because, the feature of these, that I really like most, bio dynamically, is zero drop. I want zero drop to get my calves, stretched out, prevent lordosis, and protect my low back. But I also want to be able to wear these as a legitimate hiking boot. I don’t think the test he is doing here can be generalized to hiking across-the-board. He’s talking about stepping on pebbles… But in a trail that looks very dusty and sandy in general. When you’re walking across the spines of mountains… You’re almost always on rocks. So, I would prefer to try a zero drop shoe that had more protection like a shank. I kind of feel like they’re mashing together the idea of barefoot with zero drop.
@@gat569 I'm sure you are aware that these boots are made for African rangers, not Alaskan rangers. You have to see the boots through that specific lens.
@@RictorIAG mmm... you think? I think that these boots are heavily influenced and designed (in the sole for sure) by Rose Anvil as a way to appeal to the barefoot shoe craze in North America. I think that they "may" appeal to African Rangers but I have to wonder if the Rangers would primarily be picking the other Ranger boot with the more traditional sole with thicker heel. I don't think that barefoot boot, as designed, is going to be as durable or comfortable for heavy equipment hauling or long treks over difficult terrain. But, it's hard for me to be certain as I don't know what footwear they are used to and maybe they prefer barefoot types (and now that that boot type is available). Jim Green probably has that data. I'm pretty sure the barefoot boot is called an "African Rangers" because it has almost the same upper/shares the lineage/and it's good branding for sales purposes. But what the Rangers actually tend to wear... I don't know. And is Jim Green sending the rangers the regular or the Barefoot when they send the free pair (for 10 purchased)? There is a lot more than just one lens. And my lens would like a shank in the sole. LOL.
@@gat569 I have used aftermarket spring steel insoles in my work boots to protect against nails while working construction. The insoles come coated in a layer of firm rubber and I add a felt insole on top to wick away sweat.
@@koopdi oh wow! that's an interesting idea! I"d never heard of those.
I really like your approach in developing this boot. A boot designed for Rangers in the bush; with the input from the Rangers of what they need and a focus in creating a well crafted budget conscious product for your target (hard working) client - the Wildlife Conservation Ranger.
Love that you guys are so happy to take risks and experiment with new styles despite being a relatively small brand. And nice to see you keep catering for more niche parts of the footwear market - first with the emphasis on wider fits and now experimenting with barefoot styles as well. Genuinely really excited to see what you guys come up with next.
I love small brands because they are not yet corporate minded and still actually care about their products and their customers. I noticed that once a brand go corporate then that's it, quality falls and they go cheap on anything they could shave off from the product.
What's worse is they increase the price because it was featured by some celebrity and after they shave off the quality of the products! It is as if they use the money they should use on the product on marketing to pay off those celebs that couldn't care less about the product!
I love this concept. Barefoot, but still rugged. Best of both worlds!
i personally will be buying a pair. you just sold me on these.
Really sharp looking boots, love the craftsmanship and hand built quality.
I have never in my life done so much research before buying a shoe and this one hits just right! I am extremely excited to see this boot launch and cannot wait for it to be available in smaller UK sizes for women. I am super sold on the color and style and very proud that this is a South African product with such an amazing purpose behind it. Well done Jim Green!!
Thank you for the support and feedback! 💪 We are currently working on a new and improved ladies line, we look forward to getting this range into hands and onto feet in the near future!
Amazing!!! A barefoot, zero drop version of the Jim Green African Ranger... BRILLIANT! Looking forward to trying a pair.
You guys are amazing.
On my round the world motorcycle ride in 2016 i got to SA and my friend was wearing a pair of your boots. I asked him about them as I've always liked good boots and he told me everything about what you do, which blew me away. After 8 days staying with the family he then surprised me with my own pair. I was blown away with his generosity, I wore them every day for nearly 3 years until they were sadly stolen in Australia.
I can't wait to get another pair now I'm in New Zealand and mainly this new pair as i recently had major foot surgery (4 ligaments, 1 tendon and some bone ground out) and barefoot boots will help immensely according to my surgeon.
A masterpiece of a boot.
This boot fills a void that has been missing! So many of us have been waiting for a boot exactly like this. If this does as well as I think it will, releasing a version with a safety toe for industry workers would be amazing.
Yes. That would be great.
I'm a big barefoot shoe fan, thats why I enjoy Jim Greens wide toe boxes. I've always wanted a pair of African Rangers but now I want them so much more. I think this version is incredibly cool. Keep staying true Jim Green.
i have never owned a zero drop shoe, and after watching rose anvil about them and then this one. I do think this zero drop is the best option. so if i ever choose to get a zero drop it would be a jim green boot.
I've been eyeing a pair of African Rangers for a while, and lucky for me it meant I caught the launch of the barefoot! Hopefully I can get myself a pair this year. Proudly SA, great job!
Looks like these will be great hiking boots for a person who likes barefoot shoes, doesn't want an old-school clunky hiking boot, but, also doesn't quite want to go to a sneaker-like trail shoe.
I've had my eye on the standard, pre-existing version of the Jim Green African Ranger boots for some time but had a couple of reservations about purchasing them. This African Ranger Barefoot version addresses and removes those reservations. The quality upgrade of a leather midsole in this Barefoot version calls out to those of use who prefer as much leather beneath our feet in our boots as possible. The removal of the steel shank not only benefits those of use who prefer as much natural foot movement possible while in a boot but who also have to go through metal detectors at least once in our day that would be frustratingly tripped by a metal shank each time. The lack of a toe stiffener in this boot compared to the non-Barefoot African Rangers is a welcome feature for those crave the wide toebox but without a hard structure brushing against our digits. I've worn barefoot athletic shoes for years but always had to change out of them when attending work or social settings demanding more professional attire. Recruiting Rose Anvil for the designing and constructing of this boot shows how much Jim Green wanted to get the quality and durability of this model right the first time.
Beyond even the features of this Barefoot model, what finally sold me on these boots was Mr. Crouch conducting the thorn puncture test while wearing the boots himself. I salute a company head who truly does build a product for his customers that he would confidently use himself to protect his own wellness without reservation. Bravo!
Man this boots are awesome i need to have them !
This might be the most well thought out barefoot boot or boot in general I've seen featured on Rose Anvil. My only suggestion would be to offer more colors!
I ride horses and endurance race horseback. Because you spend a lot of time off and on the horse running or "Tailing" up steep terrain. This boot looos like a good choice. It's not wide or to deep of a lug on the sole. I'm a US size 11 and I tend to get hung up getting in and out of the stirrup. I had a pair of boots made by Ariat called the Endurance boot. It was comfortable but fell apart really quickly and wasn't rebuildable.
I would have never thought to use a barefoot shoe when riding because of worry about feet going through the stirrup and getting caught up.
Is that really a concern, or do you use those breakaway stirrups? I'm super curious.
I ride in Endurance stirrups that are 4" deep with Tapaderos. So not a problem. Definitely wouls be in English stirrups and, some western stirrups. Some western stirrups like an Ox Bow are Specifically designed to lock your heels in. Then however, you end up in danger of getting hung up if you fall off. Everything is a compromise. It just depends on your priorities.
I'm very excited about this boot. I've been wearing barefoot shoes for about two years now and can never go back to regular shoes. Jim Green boots look amazing and now they have a barefoot option even better. Such a great looking highly functional piece of footy wear. I hope this boot is a big hit!
💪💪💪
Can’t wait to see what you guys do with this boot in the future! Would love to see a waterproof version
What a great collaboration with Rose Anvil! That is where I 1st heard of Jim Green boots! I recently have gained interest in Zero drop footwear with some issues I have been having with my feet. I am a boot guy but when looking for zero drop boots I have been unimpressed with what is out there. But now all that changes! I've been looking at getting a pair of African Rangers... This is an instant hit. This will be the standard everyone will have to match! You have a winner with this zero drop!
Love how these boots are barefoot as there aren't enough barefoot boots out there in the market, the next closest one being from Bearfoot which is almost double in price. Also love your confidence in the puncture resistance of the shoe when you kept the shoe on whilst trying to pierce it with the thorns haha, shows that you really believe in your product.
Right?! I was shocked he left his foot in! Turned out well though. Lol
Finally, we have good-looking barefoot shoes
I love these, as someone with wide feet i have trouble find comfortable yet lightweight boots! Hoping to get these soon.🙏🏼
I just discovered Jim Green Footwear and I'm impressed. Functionality and looks good to boot! (zing!)
This looks so nice. They look extremely comfortable, especially in the toe box. I can see getting these for work, which only requires indoor walking. I usually use Puma flat sneakers (I forget the model) or some Timberland waterproof boots when it rains.
I like that you didn't compromise from the previous African Ranger design for the upper. It's a zero drop boot that looks good but also has thought put into the barefoot design. The sole pattern seems ideal after the tweak to the toe and heel. I love wearing my Red Wing Iron Rangers, but unless I'm actually working in them, I often don't like wearing them because of the size of the heel. I look forward to giving these a go instead. I've got a feeling they will be much better for casual everyday wear.
It is so great to see you guys branch out into this space, this kind of innovation suits your brand so well. Looking forward to more collabs!
Awesome can't wait until they are available in Germany
I'm super happy that you and rose anvil teamed for this model! You've basically made the barefoot boot I've been wanting! It's more affordable, better looking, and better built than anything else I've seen on the market!
I'll definitely be picking up a pair of these
They look amazing. Great job guys! And Gareth doing the needle test, what a legend!
He was so confident that he did the test while wearing them!
I'm eagerly anticipating the opportunity to try out Jim Green's latest collaboration with Rose Anvil. From what I've gathered, these boots seem to be a marvel in design for the barefoot community.
One standout feature that's caught my attention is the Anvil sole. I’m wondering how it will replicate the sensation of walking barefoot on any terrain compared to other barefoot brands offerings. It does look like it will have extra grip and protection when compared to vivo or Lems.
I'm particularly intrigued by the absence of a steel shank, as it suggests a more natural feel while wearing the boots catering less to those that might do a lot of climbing or digging. Seems that these boots are aimed primarily for hikers/casual wear which I gladly fall into :) The leather midsole is also a pretty neat aspect.
So glad that these boots can be resoled, because I’m definitely tired of having to buy new barefoot style shoes as a result of wearing through them. The savings from that alone definitely adds to their appeal.
Overall, I'm excited to experience firsthand the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness that have gone into creating these boots. Jim Green and Rose Anvil seem to have hit the mark with this collaboration, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they measure up in real-world use.
Much love from the U.S. ❤
Honestly these are the best looking boots i think i've ever seen, and they appeal to me in a way that more techy focussed hiking/walking boots don't. Just good, simple, and solid.
I love these boots! I think Jim green did a great job with the design. They are beautiful boots and at the same time very functional. The thorn test was great!
I’ve been looking for a boy to wear to work. Think I’ve found it! Love the olive green.
Finally a boot with just the basic necessities without being overpriced. Full of leather and zero drop, it’s a winner!
Looks like a boot that can stand up to farmwork. Most barefoot shoes aren't durable enough. Definitely going to try a pair
I’m a young business owner carpenter in Pennsylvania. I’m trying to extend my active years with focus on back, foot, knee, and hip health. I also love hiking and walking through streams/mountain/snow. I’ve been looking for years for footwear that met my needs and checked all my boxes. Hopefully these are delivered before January, but I think there worth the wait. Make more. Maybe a variation with a small ladder rung indent even a 1/4” would help. You might say to just wear a normal boot but roofers prefer flat soles on slopes and your less likely to mar the shingles. And when I’m kneeling down all day the top of the toe gets a lot of scratches/wear in all my boots try it and tell me what part of the shoe rubs the ground the top fragile leather. If you need any other ideas let me know.
Glad to see someone making a properly rugged barefoot boot. I'm super interested in trying these out
I love that you are making quality barefoot boots.
I like the barefoot concept but until now I couldn't find any barefoot boot, durable and also using quality and natural materials. You just answered my prayers.
It's also nice to see a company working with a true passion for quality footwear.
Very nice boot and it looks ideal for hunting in South Texas
The timing of this release couldn't be better. I've been researching barefoot boots after using barefoot runners for a few years. I've yet to make the jump with my hiking boots because most brands seem to skimp on the quality. Jim Green is known for having high quality boots and when I saw you collaborated with Rose Anvil for the sole of this one, I immediately knew this boot was going to check all the boxes. Full leather upper and inner for under $200 is such an insane deal. Congrats on the completion and release - this boot is going to change the game!
I never thought that I would ever be curious about buying a pair of barefoot boots, but these honestly have me wanting to get a pair!
Fantastic looking and appears to be really comfortable... can't wait to try them out :)
Got a pair of these and liked them so much that I got a pair of conventional AR's a week later. Heckuva value in a boot!
I'm trying to buy more and more USA made products, but I can't deny these are on my list
I’m 2 weeks in and extremely happy with my pair. I feel so much more stable and my lower body joint pains are slowly feeling better. One thing I didn’t think about until I realized that I don’t look at the ground as much while I walk since my gate is more confident. That has helped my posture a lot. Just an interesting side effect to going barefoot. Next up is the barefoot troopers. Keep it up guys.
Hi @ryansullivan3081 thank you for the support and positive feedback!!!
So cool to have a barefoot boot that molds to your foot
I've made my own barefoot sandals and really enjoy them. I really like these boots!
I am about to switch to the barefoot experience exclusively, here in India, finding good reliable and economical barefoot shoes is almost impossible.
These look so nice, rugged and long-lasting! Only request would be different colour options as well!
I almost got the original version, because they were so close to perfect. These are exactly what I wanted though.
I’ve been dreaming of this boot for years. Thank you!
💪💪💪
Fantastic review! We are really hoping that after this endeavor, JG will consider an entire barefoot line including the Razorback series. At which point as a company, JG will cover most of the bases for the boot market.
I just ordered a pair in black color.
I love the merge of style and functionality in yhese boots, and even moreso love the mission behind them, definitely have my eye on them
Ohh, these would be more than just perfect for me.
I've been dealing with increasing pain in the outer two toes of my right foot for almost a year now.
Neither me, nor my doctor know what it is.
I feel like it's an inflammation inside the joint or something.
At this point, I'm not even able to walk in "normal" footwear anymore.
All the shoes and boots I've been wearing in the past are collecting dust now and I'm stuck with barefoot shoes.
This was fine during summer.
But next week I'll start a new job after 1 1/2 years of unemployment due to internal inflammations.
And I don't have the appropiate footwear for that.
It's an office job, so I can get away with slippers for some time.
But these boots might be able to save me in the coming months.
The zero-drop nature and the wide toebox are exactly what I need.
Finally a rugged beardoot boot! Glad such a great company is getting involved in a more natural shoe.
You nailed this boot! I have avoided buying a boot from a traditional barefoot shoe company because they lack durability, ruggedness, and quality
Jim Green nailed all three with this beautiful boot!
I'm always in the market for barefoot boots that look great.
Great collab with Rose Anvil! Nice boots! I like the design. I hope I can test a pair soon. Thanks.
Durability in barefoot boots is always a huge issue, but these look rock solid! I have seen sickle bush thorns puncture tires!
💪💪💪
Finally, a barefoot shoe that is able to tackle the hardest or toughest of terrains. I think this barefoot boot by Jim Green just filled a void in the barefoot offerings.
Never thought I would like boots like this. I must say I am intrigued. Love the nice leather midsole! Or maybe it’s an insole.
I love my Jim green barefoot shoes. they are the most comfortable shoe I own. I mean that they are awesome.
Love that they are protective as well as healthy for the foot and posture. Please make these available in the UK
Thanks for the interest! As we establish more as a brand we are looking into ways to make Jim Green boots readily available in the UK and world wide 🐸💪
I have always loved handmade leather stitchdown-construction boots and fell in love with the Jim Green Razorbacks the first time I saw them in a outdoor shop. Not only does Jim Green make excellent boots at an affordable price when compared to international hand-made leather boot brands such as Nicks and Red Wings, they also continually innovate and come up with new products and variations. The barefoot African Ranger is a perfect example of this where they took a popular boot and gave it a barefoot makeover, which if you are not aware is very sought after in the barefoot community. I could be mistaken but these are possibly the only stitchdown-construction leather barefoot outdoor boots available on the market, and if there are more, they would be significantly more expensive. Well done Jim Green on creating another amazing boot which I am sure will make a number of people very happy!
I found one alternative, the Bearfoot Bruin boot, which is also a leather stitchdown-construction outdoor boot and as I guessed it is double the price at R4772 or $250.
Very much looking forward to the green option. They appear to definatly be rugged enough for the White Mountains of northeast Arizona. Cheers!
These boots look super comfortable with all year round versatility. Love the colours as well. Blue and green leather boots would be a wonderful addition.
These look superbly designed. I am doing a full relaunch of the CUMA Survival School including classes this year. Lots of outdoor and mudtime in the woods. My feet always hurt, so I would be interested in trying a pair.
Looking forward to my brown pair coming! I would have loved to have these while I was growing up running around the Mohave Desert.
The boots are looking good
Thank you for creating this pair of boots. I've placed an order today and I can't wait to receive them to try them on. They seem to be rugged, comfortable and to be honest quite good looking. You convinced me! And for me it's also very important: barefoot! :)
Seen these on Rose Anvil the other day and came over to your channel to check them out. These boots look amazing, and I think they would be awesome here in the Texas heat. I generally wear barefoot and/or zero drop shoes but have had trouble finding a quality zero drop boot. I'd like to try a pair someday. And thank your company for taking a chance to collaborate and make these. Such a great company.
I would so buy these in green!
I know what my next pair of boots will be.
I'm SOOO excited to see these boots. I love the fudge color. I have a pair of Stockmans in the same color! Love them!
