Gods I wish Jim Green'll keep making these long enough that I can afford a pair. I've been waiting for this style of boot for so long! I don't think the contradiction is nearly as counterintuitive as it seems. I'd love a pair of boots that is protective, durable and long lasting, but that also doesn't give me "arch support" and a heel, and finally gives me enough toe room. This looks like just the thing.

I found that when breaking in boots, if you get *WOOL* socks and wet them and rig them out the best you can, it accelerates the break in. This is because leather permanently moves with moisture, and if you start your day with slightly damp socks, instead of having to wait hours to start getting damp, it jumpstarts the process.
@sinisterthoughts2896
@sinisterthoughts2896 28 күн бұрын
I hope you condition the leather a lot exile doing that, since it would also pull the oils out of the leather. Otherwise you would be accelerating the wear as well as the break in.

Just got my fourth pair of Jim Green's - thanks to your recommendations over the years - and it was a custom designed pair from their custom program on their website. Really hard to beat JG price and quality on CUSTOM boots! And more to topic, I LOVE the rationale, thought, and detail that went into these Barefoot African Troopers (BAT). Gonna try real hard to wear out my first four pairs so I can justify yet another purchase of JGs! The BAT seems like a perfect boot for camping; single layer of leather dries - relatively - faster when wet. I will say I've added Finnish army Jalas FX2 insoles from Varusteleka to all my JG boots in place of their factory insole.😎

I purchased a pair of White's Boots Centennial Walking Shoes about 5/6 years ago. They were basically the shoe version of the Centennial Hiking Boots. They came with standard block heels, but when I took them in to get resolded, we decided on the Christy wedge as a replacement. Those soles tended to wear out fairly quickly. He said that the Vibram Newporter would last longer, and ground down the christy wedge flat on one side to accept the thin Newporter sole. The wedge still has a bit of lift, but a shoe company could make a thicker mid-sole that was completely flat to make it zero drop. It wouldn't me minimalist due to the thick sole, but would satisfy the zero drop enthusiasts. They could even use the Munson last to add to the benefits of the zero drop. Both Nick's and JK seem to offer something similar to the Munson Last, so it's been done.

I really dig the look of these and may save up to get them. That being said, i cant be fooled into thinking of them as "work boots" On your recommendation I bought Buffalo AR's and couldnt be happier with them. Replaced the insoles with dr scholls and can go all day on concrete construction sites. I think these would work well as "leather converse" when im on my free days wanting to wear something unique and comfy. I dropped a wooden board on my toe wearing the AR's and felt that one for weeks! That celastic toe stiffener doesnt do anything to protect the toe box. When it comes to heavy work, I gotta take some liberties with comfort and pull on the steel toe redwings for some shitkicking. TLDR, I want to skate in these 😂

These are my dream boots because I'm a barefoot person and on top of that there's a surplus store I wish I knew the name I feel horrible now because they deserve the plug I think it's the commando store but every rare occasion, they have a hook up in south Africa with a dude that hand makes to order only the African paratrooper boots and I got the version that leaves old looking footprints in dirt. A harder to track sole. They are such amazing quality. Thin leather but damn good quality. The only problem i have is the sole since I've worn barefoot for years. I need these and have high expectations from having hand made south African paratrooper handmade boots I love other than not being barefoot. I bet anything this will be the best of both worlds.

I love barefoot shoes but i spend a lot of time on ladders. Any chance it would be possible to have a barefoot sole with a reinforcement / shank?

I have already ordered my troopers plus 2 barefoot rangers. I love them! Is it possible to get them made down to a 6? I have enjoyed my barefoot rangers so much!! I want to get these and rangers for my wife, but they are just too big for me to convince her.

I see a possibility of turning these into a barefoot engineer boot 😮😊

Breathable and leather are not words I have ever associated with each other.

Only real alternative to those seem to be Austrian brand GEA. Mostly stitchdown and some side stitch models. Not sure they have 10 inch boot at the moment. But this ones look great

Vivo’s Gobi Desert boot was my favorite barefoot shoe the past 3 years until Jim Green came out with their barefoot designs ! Jim Green is my favorite brand now !

Can you do Dc court graffik shoes? They are my favorite but i suspect they are skimping on the insoles as the inside blows out and i lose support even though the shoes are barely worn down. In might just be that im a big dude and on my feet all day
