I have not found the perfect boot. They're always too stiff and I literally cannot break them in. Also having an ankle full of titanium nuts and bolts and screws and bars, I cannot stand for anything to be up around my ankle or banging into it from below. So I wear a regular pair of sketchers that make my feet feel great. I can walk a long way in them. But they are absolutely no protection from anything falling on my toes, and my feet get soaking wet if I step in water. Still, it's the best I can do.

[@janhendriksteyn2226]

I'm from South Africa and those jimgreen are the best boot ever

[@CathyDickersonFireflyMill]

I use a tooth brush to scrub in the boot oil. It gets it into all the seams and hard to reach areas. As a retired forester, I’ve worn a lot of leather boots.

[@JakeRyan-k6h]

Oh, and when you buy one of those pairs, a pair gets donated to an actual African ranger

[@robertphillips93]

I'm also a fan of Jim Green footwear, having bought three different boots. If there's a characteristic weak point in them, it would have to be a relative crudeness in the insoles. Don't expect any degree of sponginess -- they will conform to your foot, but any softening will be supplied by your socks and the outsole. And speaking of those, some outsoles are harder, like their vibram style lug sole, and others are softer, like their gum soles. These last can be prone to transverse cracking under certain conditions, though they do wear well otherwise. Otherwise, workmanship and materials are good.

[@ThePaPappy]

Those look like a shorter version of my Barefoot African Trooper Boot. I recognized Jim Green's design as soon as I saw them. You are correct, great brand and great toe room ! 👍👍

[@less5851]

I have a pair of Ariat work boots. They fit like a glove and keep my feet warm in winter.

[@amywert8088]

My sister uses these

[@blueridgerealtor]

Glad you finally bought a pair of boots that you love. I hope they last longer than a year.

[@ChrisEdwards-o6b]

I bought a pair of Jim Greens after seeing this vid. So fair I really like them. Very comfortable!

[@ONThree]

Yep. So far so good. Hope yours last you a long time.

[@hoss5852]

Same. I own a few pairs of sandals because of that specific thing. However, sandals suck in the snow.😅😂

[@ONThree]

Have to agree with you on that. Doesn’t mean I haven’t worn them on the snow

[@hoss5852]

@ONThree indeed. Same here

[@JakeRyan-k6h]

I love my Jim Greens. Handmade boots for a great price. I have the logger boot, and the original version of those with a slightly thicker sole. Pretty sure the barefoot ones were styled with help from Rose Anvil.

[@williamirelan9332]

Like the boots, prefer neatsfoot oil over mink oil when I want leather to breathe, but mink oil for water proofing. I spray the inside of the boots with Lysol regularly to prevent fungus and mold.

[@jeffechols5302]

Gotta check into those boots see ya on the next one

[@thomas-i5o7h]

I've been using 550 for shoe/boot laces for a very long time. They have never let me down.

[@thefathiker1]

My favorite boots, followed by Go Rucks.

[@oldbonesbushcraftrodjackso474]

I am sure i heard it called Sheath . I never paid attention I have separated para chord it is awesome material .

[@SparkSurvival]

JS! thank you for telling us about this company. I too have been on the hunt for just such a boot! awesome!

[@ONThree]

Any time!

[@Mittenman313]

Brunt boots rock.

[@naturewithandy7204]

Heck yeah man! I’ve been looking for just that. I’ve got to get some now.

[@williamjaggers5569]

I’ve worn leather boots w/ Gortex liners for years with no problems. Working outside doing irrigation .. good luck

[@robdavidson4945]

In recent years I've taken to using a heat gun or hair drier to heat my leather boots after cleaning then applying boot grease then keep running the heat gun on the greased up boot that seems to soak the grease into the leather. Seems to work for me however I'm not in the backcountry as much as I used to be due to old age and old injuries. In the 1970's I was in the Marines then worked as a Wilderness guard for the Forest Service for a couple seasons living out of my pack in Wilderness areas in the Pacific Northwest. I used heavy leather "logging boots" A couple of times due to forecast of heavy rain and snow. Like walking chained to a boat anchor. I dug out my Vietnam era Jungle boots and used them combined with wool socks even in light snow conditions and never had a problem. I use River Sandals now as slippers and around the house because of the covered toe. Having used flip flops in the past and having a stick jump up and poke a hole in my foot between my toes head-on I decided to to change my foot fashion. Sandals in snow work great for me because I just turn around and go back in the house.

After a while, do an update on how well the paracord holds tight on your boots when you tie them. Paracord knots can loosen a bit I notice. For footwear support, I may question its consistent tight knot.

[@hoss5852]

The "Sheath" of the paracord. 😬

[@rogibaer]

I just got these in black! Good tough leather, looking forward to breaking them in. If they work out, I think I'll get the Trooper version for hiking... 😊

[@ONThree]

Awesome. Hope you love them as much as I do.

[@TheOaken1]

I think the word you are looking for is kernmantle

[@MichaelR58]

Good review, thanks for sharing, YAH bless brother !

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Got the same Bigfoot. Thx for this. Just what I wanted to see

[@ONThree]

You’re welcome!

[@JakeRyan-k6h]

Have you tried looking at Altama's or the Go Ruck Mac-v Sog? Kinda designed like the Jungle boot used in Vietnam. Leather was used, but they were in swamps all the time, then they used rubber I think to make them waterproof, which wouldn't let them drain. So they created a boot with drainage/air holes at the bottom to drain and dry. Both Altama and the Go Ruck use the drainage hole concept. Altamas were actually made to attack to fins for sea to land missions, soldiers could drop fins and keep going. Both boots also have wide toe box. MacV Sogs I believe are zero drop. Unfortunately both are made with modern materials, can't be re-soled, so idk how long they'll last. The MacV Sog is made as a rucking boot though. But I love my Jim Greens, have had both pairs over a year, the Ranger and the Baobab. And I love my Nick's 10in builder pro. My Georgia Boot Company's "Romeo's" are my "dress" shoes

[@robertphillips93]

The Mac-V Sog has a more shock-absorbing insole than the Jim Green boot, but a less generous toe box. My JG Razorbacks are great for roominess but benefit greatly from an aftermarket insole for long periods of use.

[@ONThree]

I haven’t. Thanks for sharing. I’ll look into them

[@chuckoaks6756]

Redwing Romeo's. Light tread and no laces.

[@ONThree]

Redwings are solid!

[@kenatpach]

"sheath or jacket" on the paracord, yeah? Picked up a pair of the exact same Jim Green Ranger boots, about a year ago. They are absolutely amazing! I also popped on a pair of Jim Green "trooper" boots, through Rose Anvil! They are equal fit and finish! Just 9-eye. I cannot understand, why we are un willing or unable to manufacture boots of this quality, in the USA.

[@ONThree]

I can’t either. Good to know they’re still treating you well after a year

[@alanrice39]

This is the type of boot I need! I used to wear Gortex, I’ve learned not to like Gortex in any form. My feet are not in very good shape. Years of working on concrete did a number on them. I require a wide shoe/ boot and I add copper insoles. My left foot has a really bad bunion. Twenty /thirty years ago I used to wear a full boot. But for the last several years I only like ankle or above ankle high boots. Don’t wear any type of insulated boot . For Snow I have a pair of military canvas mullouks with felt liner. The boots and shoes I wear are combination leather and mesh. Just can’t wear full leather cause to uncomfortable. Now that I’ve given you the history of my feet😆, where can I get these Jim Green boots? Are you waiting til you have tested them more? Looking forward to a update down the road, thanks Jason

[@ONThree]

I will wait till I have worn them for about a year before I give my stamp of approval.

[@amywert8088]

I bought Redheads in the spring, wore them today and it was 24F out, "feels like 11!" My feet were warm. So far, so good. My son always bought Rockys when he did SAR, I'm not sure what he's wearing now; if he still has them?

[@shanefox5636]

Hey "J" love ya brother ! I believe the outside "shell" of paracord, is called the mantle.

[@ONThree]

Thanks!

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Agree. I swear there’s a conspiracy to kill us all through poor footwear.

[@ONThree]

Ahahaha

[@bushcraftchip]

THE mANTLE I BELIEVE IS THE OUTER SHEATH NAME... ON 3

[@stevenrush9862]

You need to use a cotton rag for your shoes.

[@chuckoaks6756]

I want a boot for winter. I won't a for summer. I want a boot for water.

Don't use ozone to dry your boots, unless you want to buy a new pair every 6 months..

[@vegasprepping1022]

Hope you had a happy turkey day. Have you gotten your Ham ticket yet?

[@ONThree]

I had some ham yesterday. No ticket required!

[@robertabbott8541]

In jest! You can say to your wife, “Wife I have a Mink for you”, apply Mink oil onto her bare shoulders. Run like your life depended on it. Your wife is about to pass you with a machete. Oops too late 😢

@ONThree The Fudd toe box is real bro.

[@miamivice966]

Survivally guy? Is that a word?? 😀I knew you couldn't get through a footwear video without mentioning the sandals. LOL. Just giving you grief... I had asked you a couple times though, being that I'm in Georgia myself, how do you deal with chiggers and other tiny little demon bitey creatures???

[@baddream8484]
