Jim Green is a new kid on the block in the US market and they are quickly taking boot nerds by storm. We're not talking Red Wings or Viberg -- we're talking a tiny little South African company. Their most famous boot to date, the Jim Green African Ranger is built FOR African Rangers to help them stop poaching. Helping them product elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and the like! Today we dive into some of the coolest mens boots I've touched in a while! Thanks Jim Green & Gareth!

Thanks for the recognition and attempts at correct pronunciation of our language and people! I have been involved in volunteer anti poaching work and expedition hiking. . . I can confirm that the South African bush is no joke, had a company politely ask me to not buy their boots again after I sent them photos of what their top product looks like, barely surviving (but never to be worn again) one expedition. . . I have had burnt wood pierce straight through the bottom sole of high brand working mountain boots! Vibram soles, they don't last 7km in the bush, trust someone who spent the money and tried.

This is definitely the problem with Jim Green. You can’t stop at one pair. I can’t even decide between three different models for my third pair. Once you have one, you just want all of them. And they have such great variety, all of it useful for different things and all perfectly designed and reasonably priced, that you can totally justify every purchase. Combine that with some amazing KZbin presence and Jim Green will own the world by next year. You heard it here first.

Hi Michael, I was born and raised in South Africa, and speak Afrikaans. To assist you with the pronunciation of "Boer", just the same sound as when you say 'boot' but with the 't' replaced by an "r" at the end. I love my Jim Green boots and have a few different ones. Reliable, value-for-money boots and once you have worn them in, it is super comfortable. I have the Razorback, African Ranger Barefoot in Houston Brown, Black Shoelie, and Suede Vellie in Chestnut. I still want to get the Stockman as a quick slip-on boot and really like the look of the Numzaan boot as well. I used to try out a lot of different boots, shoes, and sneakers. But they do not last very long and these days they do not fit my wide feet that well. Jim Green solves all of those problems.

I use my Razorbacks as work boots/hiking boots, our property has steep grades and the lug soles do great for stability. They have held up well the past three years and the only thing I added was a more cushioned insole.

Clark's Desert Boots were originally designed for the British Army during the desert campaign in North Africa during WW2. They were practical in the desert and more comfortable than the standard boots of the era. After the war, they were sold on the open market, and Clark's sold them as well; people bought them for similar reasons, and the style became popular, and it remains popular to this day.

For a more durable option than trailrunners, you can also look at boots like the Jim Green African Ranger boots, which is an evolved version of veldskoen, or field shoes. Essentially trailrunners before trailrunning was a thing. A lot of militaries in Africa were really ahead of the 8-ball on boot design, since they realized pretty early that heavy duty construction just slowed you down, and that boots had to be lightweight and not inhibit the wearer first and foremost. The OG veldskoen vellies partially contributed to the modern idea of sneakers and trailrunners.

Been wearing African rangers for my primary general shoe for a year and thinking…. Thinking…. Thinking more…… 5 months. A year and 5 months. They’re about due for a refresh. The sole is getting pretty worn but they’re still a good shoe. Probably the best boots I’ve ever owned. I’m new to quality boots but they have sizes to fit my big feet. I’ll probably get these resoled not long after I get my next good boot which I think will be Thorogoods? The Jim Greens needed better insoles for me. After that, they were amazing. The cap toe is pretty tough. I’ve dropped tools on it and it took care of my feet. I’m no construction guy but these have seen enough work for them to be used in the yard, shop, and working on things in my opinion. These are work boots that look surprisingly good in my opinion. I wish I could find something close to these in price and quality made in America. I’d also probably buy them again instead of anything else if they didn’t start removing all the size options and seem to be clearing them out of Govx. I’ve had bad luck with some other “affordable” options, so I’ve been really happy with these.

@EvilSSP
@EvilSSP 4 ай бұрын
Don't judge this boot off this exact version, IMO there is a far better way to get these boots albeit with a little added cost and wait time. Get them custom made (roughly $40 more), get them with the upgraded veg tan leather mid sole, and get the toe stiffener removed. Unless you plan on kicking the crap out of stuff and need toe protection, the toe stiffener is not necessary and just makes them less comfortable, and by removing it your toes will be able to wiggle totally freely without any hot spots, and they'll still have 2 layers of leather at the toe so you'll get more protection than something like sneakers. I opted to keep the steel shank because I wanted more arch stability but you could remove it and get a much more flexible boot if you're into that. Basically what I got ordered is my own version of their Barefoot African Ranger but with the standard sole and drop height and they absolutely are like an overbuilt sneaker.

One of my best investments ever, it does take some time to walk them in but as soon as the boots are walked in there is no pair of boots that you will want to wear more than the Jim Green boots . It's like wearing a pair of comfy socks. When the soles are done for you can always just send them in and get a new pair of soles and the boots are ever lasting.

Please don't say boer farmer. You are just saying farmer farmer. Another quick one, V in Afrikaans is pronounced with the F sound and D is a T sound. Say it like 'fellies, and FelTskoen(veldskoen). Still a good video!

My custom Rangers are starting production now! Can't wait to get them....oh, and my Russel's Backcountry's are AMAZING. Your video put me onto them. They are quite literally the most comfortable boots I own.

Hahaha imagine if Jim Green was fooling everyone and actually poaching African wild buffalo for boots, that'd be crazy. I have some steel toe jim green razorbacks and 2 months in they've been great! I kinda want a 2nd pair of Jim Greens because they fit my feet so much better than my other boots since they're a lot wider toe box and width

This boot, while very well made, is not specifically designed for ‘park rangers’. This design has been around for years and is a general purpose bush boot. You will see this design worn by professional hunters (PH) and their clients, as well as, anyone who works, in the field, on concessions. The sole material/no heal, is specifically designed for quietly stalking animals. It’s not as tough as a traditional low heal material/design. While the buffalo hide is tough, elephant and hippo are more durable. They will cost more. I’m sure these boots are well made, but the Ranger ‘stuff’ is marketing. But considering they are being marketed to the US consumer, who is going to stalk their soy latte at Starbucks, they should last a lifetime.
