  • As a landscaper and avid gardener I swear by Jim Green. Great boots you can beat up on without feeling guilty about the price tag and they hold up surprisingly well. I average almost 8 miles a day in my boots and I’m just short of 18 months with my razorbacks. Not a single structural issue with the boot so far.

    Jim Green is a great company that makes super comfortable, tough wearing footwear. Can't get enough of them. If you need room for your toes to splay in a natural manner ... Go Jim Green!
  • I just got my Razorbacks in brown a few days ago. Thank you for a great review. I'll be wearing them for the first time today. And looking forward to many miles o walking and hiking around.
  • Wow, this is a pretty cool boot actually! I always thought those Danner hikers were amazing, and this is no less cool. I love all the juicy info. Crazy wide shape- looks comfy. And as always, the size comparison with other boots helps a ton 🙌🏽🍻

    Man, I really want a pair of these! They're going to have to go on my 5 year list, which is already pretty full lol

    I really didn't have a need for a Jim Green until I started looking for a Chelsea that could come in a wide. I already had the Red Wing Heritage Chelseas in a wide, but decided to take a chance on the Jim Greens Stockman in a half size larger as most reviews indicate they come wide. The construction feels basic, with the sanding of the sole and welt a bit rough, but the materials and actual workmanship is rugged. I think that they are a great option for lower priced resolable boots, along with Thorogood and Thursday.

    Very comfortable boots, can't go wrong with the Razorbacks or the Rangers .
  • I love all the boots you have and reviews I like these a lot , I live in Northern California and these would be great for a walk in the Redwood Forest

    I've had a pair for 2 years now and they're my favorite pair of boots. I walk in them (in the woods) about 5 miles 6 days a week and will send them back likely in another year for a resole. I have also bought two pairs of their Vellies and the Town and Country all of those boots are excellent and comfortable right out of the box. The insole finally gave out about a month ago so I just replaced it with another insole and we were good to go. Go with your sneaker size. I wear 11 in Red Wing and went with a 12 in my razorbacks. Buy a pair you'll love them. I was initially put off the boot when I first put them on b/c they look so wide but interestingly enough they only look that way to the person wearing them, everyone else I asked about it said they look great. I treated them with sno-seal and they take polish great and they basically water-proof if you have to be out in the rain. The padded tongue and ankle make it so that I can lace up tight and not worry at all the trail you'll have solid footing no matter the terrain.
  • Great Video. Have to look into their African Ranger Boot. Cape Toe Boot.

    I’ve owned my Razorbacks for about 5 months. Bottom line, these boots are a steal for the price. I use them for farming/landscaping/hiking and they are tough as nails. I did have to put in an aftermarket insert, but I love these boots. The company is fantastic and responsive!
  • @bigcajungunns
    I love mine and the Rangers. I found it easier to order directly from the company and they have the best customer service too!!!

    If you order from Jim Green it comes quickly too, you avoid the Amazon, returns are easy. The Ranger and Razorback are different boots. The razorbacks at JG Last, the AR is the STC last along with some of the non dress vellies. I have 4 pairs of Jim Greens. Resold my first pair of African Rangers. I also have the JG/Rose Anvil barefoot collab! Glad you have these in hand. PS there are a few videos about how they source some of the leathers.
  • I bought 2 pairs of Jim green a year or so ago. I forgot exactly when I got them but I see the price has gone way up. Anyway, I call them the perfect width footwear because they are the perfect width for my foot. The only thing I do not like is the sole is convex causing some discomfort when walking on flat heard surfaces like concrete. However for hiking they are great. Oh and that convex is from right to left not front to back in other words from big toe to little toe. Because of the convex it feels like the big toe and little toe does not even touch the ground but the middle of the foot does.

    The African Rangers are my favorite pair, a short and light boot, but super durable, stable, and comfortable! Almost a shoe but not
