Jim Green not only makes great boots but they are working with wild life preservations and giving back to maintain them. Such a cool company and inspiring to see.

[@Alianderfarm]

I fully support your plans and will do my part to support you.

[@GiuseppeVonHosentraeger]

Great effort letting no part go to waste… appreciate Jim Green sharing with supporters in the USA!

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Got mine yesterday, quite unexpectedly. Now got one pair of each color. They are fantastic. Well worth the wait and money. Well done JG!

[@AlgyFonts]

Woah whatt

[@immutablecantrip]

They're already shipping??? I thought they said may

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thank you for the support and all the best for the journey ahead with the boots. We can’t wait to see where they end up around the world 💪🥾

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

@@immutablecantrip Local shipping now, international in May, I believe.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Just ordered my first pair of African Ranger

[@barryrahn5957]

Also, having a fence right by the highway is a real good idea as it undoubtedly cuts down on roadkill.

[@bobchmi3855]

tying your product in with african wildlife is such a clever idea, for the north american and european market (africa=wild animals).

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

I'm wearing my new Jim Green Rangers regularly. Very comfortable. I just did some martial arts youtube videos wearing them.

[@vunguy3n]

Thank you so much for this. This was very informative and the cinematography of this video was excellent! The area is gorgeous.

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

We really are blessed with the wildlife around us! 🥾🐸

[@emilypratt2545]

Looking forward to this video!

❤I am truly grateful Jim green is showing and supporting the wildlife conservation program,and Are finally able to open up a market in the USA, the USA definitely has a market for safari hunting and hiking boots that needs to be fixed

[@barryrahn5957]

Looking forward to my buffalo boots!

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thanks for the support, we are excited to see the adventures all the boots head out on in the near future.

[@craig7887]

Beautiful countryside! And a great initiative.

[@lgroves336]

I bought a pair of these boots. I want to help support your cause and have you be successful.

[@senorpuertas]

I just received my pair of African Ranger Buffalo boots. I can't tell you how pleased I am with them. I finally have room for my toes and I'm sure they'll last me for many years to come. Thanks to everyone at Jim Green for their hard work. I'm definitely going to order a pair of boondockers (vellies) in the next few weeks.

[@noahjsmit]

Lekker video, Gareth. Loving my Shoellies by the way.

[@immutablecantrip]

What a great video. You are such an interesting character, Mr Jim Green (I know it's the frog and not your name). Seeing the buffalo was awesome

[@warrenpechey2225]

Nice one, well done Gareth, awesome initiative

[@Jake-ns4iq]

I got my boots last week. Again Jim Green didn't disappoint. The leather is top tier, the construction is on point and the updated interior sole is very comfortable. Leather does take some breaking in time but that is to be expected with new boots. My other pair of Rangers in the nubuck leather are getting a much needed break. Thanks Jim Green for such amazing boots!!

[@kendramckenna7312]

Amazing boots I had mine for a few weeks now and love them. Thanks for producing a great boot preserving the wildlife and no waste

[@alihayder1238]

Great shoes. Don’t miss them. They are a speciality from South Africa and a unique product. Also it is very durable and comfortable.

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thank you for the support and great feedback! 🥾💪

[@reamus9102]

Such beautiful and majestic creatures. It's a shame they have to be culled, but I really appreciate you going through the effort to show/tell why; hopefully these boots will be a great way to show our respect for the animal and the cause of conservation!

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

The skin being the only byproduct waste gave us the perfect opportunity to step in and do something about this 💪🐸🥾

[@reamus9102]

@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Awesome! Thanks for continuing to focus on such areas as wildlife conservation and habitat protection. Even though I definitely don't need another pair of AR boots, I had to buy a pair of Buffalo ones just to show my support! Keep up the good work.

[@DaddyDaniel93]

Let's go! 🐂

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

💪💪🐸

[@guilbertbabcock8810]

Got my Buffalo Skin African Rangers a few days ago & their Great. Their more comfortable than I expected, I've been wearing them since I've got them& in just a few days of walking my dog around the neighborhood & taking a short hike with them they are breaking in nicely. I will definitely be purchasing more boots in the future from you guys. Thanks Jim Green & Garreth for making an Excellent boot 👍

[@dsouzaangelo]

Can't wait to receive mine!👍

[@tuckerwyatt9940]

I received a pair last week. They appear to be very quality. I am glad to be able to help rangers on the other side of the ocean. I’m interested to see how they will hold up against the rough West Texas terrain.

[@jaysdad420]

Great boot and mission statement.

[@curtiswashington8536]

Cant wait to wear these in the summer

[@mountainman3046]

I bought my pair of African Ranger boots about 7 months ago. They are the best boots I've had. I thought early on that maybe I should have gone with the Razorback instead, but I really wanted to support the initiative and have been pleasantly surprised with how comfortable they are after being on your feet sometimes 10 hours a day and can only imagine that the Razorback is just as good. I would put these up against any work boot sold here in the United States. I believe they would win in any realm with my highest marks going to comfort as I said previously and quality of construction as these boots are miles ahead for the price. Thank you Jim Green you have a customer for life here!

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Good day and thank you for the epic feedback and support! Great to hear of another pair of African Rangers doing what they were built for💪 We are always a message away should you have any questions along the journey and we wish you the best on the adventures to come 🐸

[@minnesota-hk1vp]

Yes really like videos like this Thank You for sharing

[@dbmail545]

I just took delivery of my custom barefoot Rangers in buffalo. My only complaint is that they look too nice! My conventional AR's in buffalo look a lot more gnarly. I think the new ones will be fine.

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thank you for the positive feedback and the continued support.

[@idiocraciaahora1967]

I bot a pair, my brother! Cannot wait! Beautiful work, cause and shoe. Muchas Gracias!

[@vickistarnes6352]

I am looking forward to receiving my second pair of Jim Green Boots..own the African Ranger Fudge and have an order in for the Buffalos…thank you for sharing the video and please share more in the future! Not only will i receive a quality pair of boots but in a small way , I am making a contribuition to the Ranger Community!

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Each and every pair has made a huge contribution to the Rangers in the field, thank you for the support and great feedback! We wish you the best for the journeys ahead with your boots 💪

[@AlgyFonts]

I'm super hype to get my pair!

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thanks for the support and all the best for the Jim Green journey ahead 💪

[@chrismackay8314]

I am looking forward to the receipt of the rangers, and probably will buy a pair of vellies soon.

[@_face773]

Such a beautiful video. Thanks for the great content and I'm hoping to own a pair of rangers one day.

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

[@naturalslayer8803]

Please add them to amazon so I can have them shipped to Mexico :D

[@hisham56hamilton50]

Very very nice indeed . Please more videos. Why can`t I buy Jim Green in EUropa ?

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Thank you for the support and interest, for the time being the quickest and easiest method is to place an order with our German Stockist, L'Atelier Monsieur, or through Amazon. We are in the process of making Jim Green boots more readily available world wide 💪

[@31446963048]

I am looking forward to see them start shipping.

[@maxyong520]

Really wish these come with leather midsoles

[@justinpatrickhoffman]

A customer can email Jim Green and customize a boot with a leather midsole.

[@simongrushka983]

will you use that buffalo leather again? what's about the warthogs leather, or any other popular yet exotic (for those outside of SA) leathers?

[@usmnt4423]

I’m super excited for when my pair arrives.

[@worldwidestuff5567]

I've seen a couple videos where these are worn apparently without socks? Is this commonly how they are worn there? I live in a warm/hot climate and I wear mine every day with think cotton socks. Hey Jim Green whats the deal with socks over there?

[@koryleach9660]

Will you be sending a pair of these to Rose Anvil? I’m interested in seeing how the buffalo leather compares to the original. (I preordered a pair in December so am looking forward to getting them!)

[@worldwidestuff5567]

No don't DO IT they are too rare to cut up!

[@unhingedboredom7115]

Make a barefoot in buffalo please!

[@taifu13781]

In the Philippines , we have a species of water buffalo, do you think they are relatives? Also by now Do you think you still have a lot of these buffalo boots still available for purchase?

[@JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

Good day, our Buffalo boot is still available for order with around 70% of the stock being sold💪. As far as we know they are both part of the Bovidae family but not closely related on the tree.

[@barryrahn5957]

I've heard they're quite ornery.
