These are exactly what I’ve been dreaming about. Perfect. Only problem is it’s out of my price range. Thanks Rose Anvil for bringing light to these! I hope Barefoot sells wayyy out.

[@barryrahn5957]

Just looking at these boots you can see the quality shining through.

I'd like to see these cut in half. Also, 9:34 - something something boot breaker insole plug?

[@zxcytdfxy256]

For me, eco friendly means the company cut even more costs to give me an even shittier product. For the last 5 years I have only bought from small companies that sell quality at a reasonable price. Thank you Rose Anvil.

[@holimoli8802]

thats not at all what eco friendly means, and youre conflating shady business practices such as greenwashing with genuine eco-friendliness

[@Winterfell1066]

I think they look a little weird. Glad they have good leather, but not a fan of the look.

[@mrhounddog8271]

I have both the Barefoot African Trooper and the Bearfoot Bruin. If you truly have a wide forefoot and want the maximum room for toe splay, then the Bruin is your choice. Both boots break-in well, and I have put plenty of miles on them both (I am a hardcore bird hunter).

[@michaelheinecke2937]

Sweet! Give them a slice!

[@lio88jian]

I tried the Jim Green barefoot African Rangers but had to return them because I also have a low volume foot, and they were too wide around the heel and arch as well so my foot was swimming around. I wish someone would make a resoleable boot or shoe using Xero Shoe’s last which hugs my instep and has more than enough room for my toes.

[@Psalm9114]

My xeros do fit pretty nice…

[@S34Ninc]

You should try duckfeet boots. I have low volume feet, and they're perfect for me. All you have to do to make then barefoot style is cut the heel off. I haven't done that myself but I heard it's pretty easy since the heel is just another layer of crepe

[@coffeedudeguy]

That was initially my issue as well, until I added a 3mm insole which then made things more snug

[@joshgies1869]

Been wanting your review since I keep seeing thier ads. Had the BAR since initial drop. Love them and wear almost daily. Super comfortable, however I could go for just a little more room for big toe and started wearing sockless for the extra space. My initial impressions of the patriot are: looks good, but I prefer the lower sides and soft collar and price point of the Jim Greens.

[@lifeinmyshoes_lims]

Try Texarado Boots too...they are a new US made brand.

[@jessepierce51]

Those are good looking boots. I hope the make a 8-10” boot someday.

[@EssenceofPureFlavor]

They're a collaboration with Schmidt's Bootmaker.

[@robertsandgren9389]

Nice looking leather! I definitely want to see these cut to verify that they are good all the way through! :) Same goes for the norwegian Dundas boots.

[@shish_taouk]

They look good but are quite expensive (575 CAN $ + shipping + tax + import fees = easily 800$ and maybe a bit more). My Jim Greens (I have 3 pairs) all feel tight in the toe box because of how small (height) their toe box is designed. Which also restricts how your toes splay. They would be much ore comfortable with a higher toe box, and a more natural toe box shape (wider). Bearfoot had a few very bad reviews about their newer model, but for some reason they all mysteriously ''disappeared'', hence the perfect score on their website. It's quite a gamble unless your wallet is very heavy.

[@dzzope]

Agree on the toe box on jim greens. Don't have a pair of ATs yet but my AR8's are the same on the JG last as are the ARs I tried but am returning (too low for me) Would love to see a V2 of the ATs with a taller toe box and maybe a slightly more contoured waist to heel and up the back of the Achilles area to eliminate some of the heel slip.. Though I can get rid of it, it requires tying them at least twice and really snugging them down around my ankle area.. Doesn't put me off but would be nice to see another last with JG toe box with maybe 3-5 mm more height and a bit more fitted heel.

[@holimoli8802]

​​@@dzzopethe ar, ar8 and at is made on the stc last

[@matthewsbernier]

I'd love to see these cut in half, especially because seeing the interior volume may solve two questions I always have about these leather barefoot boots. It looks to me like the toes are always really pointy, vertically, and especially since barefoot boots always try to put your toes right in the end, rather than leaving space in front like traditional shoes, I can't imagine how the tips of your toes aren't crushed to powder. And the heels always look vertical on these, whereas my actual heel is curved, which is something traditional boots are really great at accomodating. So it looks like my heel would be sliding all over while the tops of my toes are crushed. But maybe the inside looks different? I'd be curious to see.

[@natsrium2789]

Looks like ugs made official Wallace & Gromit boot

[@Laz_RS]

I think you found the boot that is everything I don't like. Must be somebodies cup of tea though (I'm a coffee drinker).

[@greuju]

So you like synthetic materials with a ton of arch support that don't last? It's the shape. I get it, but just say that no reason to be dramatic

[@Laz_RS]

@@greuju Strike a nerve did I? Tell me more about your insecurities.

[@greuju]

@@Laz_RS You sound like somebody that is rife with insecurities. How is it insecure to call you dramatic when everything about this boot is quality made The only thing that would be an issue is the shape of it and the lack of arch support, which tons of boots don't have arch support. 🤣

[@greuju]

@@Laz_RS needless to say I prefer my feet feeling good instead of looking good. Which sounds less secure? 🤣 Smoke someone that cares how they look or someone that cares how they feel? I've probably been on the internet longer than you've been alive buddy You can't handle this 🤣

[@Laz_RS]

@@greuju I'm just going to point out I never mentioned how they look and leave it at that. Enjoy your emotional flashback, I hope you get some help though.

I have a feeling they doubled the price because the standard version had so many stitching issues that we need to pay up for acceptable QC issues. No thanks 😂

[@raymondcausey3926]

Damn these boots are ugly as all hell.. Thx for giving us all the specs on these Weston!

Bearfoot did it before Jim Green??? Props to Bearfoot. Buying these Patriots OVER the Jim Green Troopers FOR THE WIDER TOE-BOX. Come on, Jim Green. smh.

[@albetherechillin]

No cut december 😢

[@Queenofcats36]

HAI TACO!!!!!

[@JourneyRanger]

I love the look of these boots! Too many haters here lol 🤣🤣! I own 15+ pairs of boots. All of them are different brands. I'm about to add these! They look pretty awesome!

[@JoeyDecay]

I don't get people saying it's too expensive. It's not easy being a small business and making stuff in America. If you would rather buy low quality stuff, you can pay less money. I do need to up my boot collection tho. I guess since I have to work in boots it's not something I first think of, but I have a couple casual pairs and would like to get more once I get back to work.

[@JourneyRanger]

​@@JoeyDecay Not everyone can afford them. Those who can afford them, can get them. Others who can't, they can find something that works for them. It is what it is. I'm willing to buy these!

[@jessepierce51]

I have a pair of bruins. They are comfortable on my fat feet but are not holding up well. The sole is peeling off in multiple places after less than a year. Troopers seem to be much more durable.

[@graikonungr7502]

Sick boots! That's too much volume for my little feet though. I'd probably have to tighten them until the eyelets were touching.

[@rickwebermusic]

$400? Yeah, no.

[@williamwallaceg2627]

@@nahguacmI don’t mind the price, but I’m not buying an ugly boot just because it’s made in a particular country. I definitely favor US boots, but not sure the look appeals to me. My Nick’s are IS made and not cheap.

[@chrisdiaz7615]

​@@williamwallaceg2627Yeah. But they don't have a toe box like that

[@why_it_perez]

Was all about it until I heard the price. Prefer quality boots/shoes but let be honest, most barefoot soles don’t last long and these barefoot companies charge more for shoes with less material. Love made in USA, but I’ll stick with my Jim Greens.

[@chadgraber4575]

Pretty slick looking slipper.

[@Dubsteppinout]

Your products look nice. Sorry too much time on the opinion page, not enough product. I’m out

[@nickrenton2668]

First, I love bare feet shoes and boots and have a number of pairs. I’m not overly bothered about the aesthetic - but on feet, these really do look a little too clowny for me…

[@cliffclavin763]

For the price I think I'll just buy another pair of JG Troopers. Twice the boot, half the price. 😂

[@amanasd26]

these are some of the ugliest boots I have ever see, dear god.

[@byoken]

very unappealing looks and very expensive. Hard to find a shoe that's made in the US and looks good.

They look like boots made for puppets

[@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday]

How come you never get your correct size ??? Almost every video I see is you complaining about getting the wrong size. Smdh

[@weixinlin446]

Heck yea, more barefoot boots.

[@JB22636]

What is the benefit of barefoot boots?

[@weixinlin446]

@JB22636 wider toe splay, meaning more stability. Your ankles won't break when juking or being juked.

[@umbertosmith7014]

This is the Vibram Newflex sole sheet material, its a very expensive rubber material that comes in 5mm or 10mm...I'm using 10mm on zero drop footwear re-soles...it will last longer but not have the ground feel of the barefoot. What we need is a serious consideration of zero drop work boots...Barefoot and zero drop are too different categories. Jim Green Barefoot are not really barefoot, more zero drop...Good stuff but ought to be cheaper.

[@dannyturner7967]

Why do you destroy the laces when cutting them? That has always bugged me...more than cutting the boots

[@Monga1523]

[@Cyclist-o6e]

$400 for a boot with about as much sole as cheap Walmart sneaker. No thanks. Ugly too. The barefoot fad is for suckers, the type of people who get their health advice from Joe Rogan. Save your money, buy a real boot with a proper sole, shank, heel.

[@youchasechickens]

I kind of just stumbled into barefoot shoes because of wide feet not through running books or influencers. All I can say is that it is very comfortable

[@Psalm9114]

Like everything else, good tool for the right job. Wouldn’t log in a pair, but good for you daily. Helped lengthen my tight calves Achilles

[@captainashlock]

There is no way that any of that upper is "conforming" the vast majority of feet... You will be absolutely swimming in those things. These are jacked. They should be paying people $400 to wear them because that's the only way these goofy looking things are going to find any feet.

[@youchasechickens]

If they are anywhere close to the size of the original bruins then I would definitely love the fit
