3 boots with the same build? You really like that style. My first pair of Jim Green boots were African Ranger Barefoot in Natural Veg Tan. I had never heard of Jim Green before this year but I got hooked. I got 2 pairs of Vellies in different leathers next, 1 in smooth tan leather and 1 in chestnut roughout, because they're half the price of the African Ranger boots and sizes were quickly being sold out. After that, I decided to get a custom pair of Shoellies on the barefoot last, which makes them wider than the stock Shoellies. I got them in buffalo leather with olive stitch down thread, just like your custom African Ranger pair. I wore my roughout vellies on a recent trip out of town and did a lot of walking in 90 degree heat sockless with shorts. They did great. My feet didn't hurt.

Great boots! I only wished they had a leather insole/lasting board instead of the fiber board. I asked JG this and the price of them would then match the barefoot versions which I totally would not mind at all. You can get them custom made, but the shipping is just brutal at 55 bucks.
@xplorsocal2222 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, the extra shipping cost for the customs is a bummer but they do have to ship them from South Africa so I understand it.

@@xplorsocal2222 Yeah, it's understandable in a interview with Carl Murawski he talked a bit about this. Basically South Africa is not in a good place atm and their postal service has basically collapsed, so they rely on private companies like DHL to ship custom boots.

Their vellies are the best - my first JG boot was a brown Vellie I wore for work, wore them down good, and ended up getting a bunch of other styles, the AR, AR barefoot, and even got some shoelies in houston black for a more formal work pair.

Once you get a pair from the custom shop you will want several more.

I've been wearing the regular brown Rangers for my everyday boots for a year. I switch over to Danner for Winter boots, if it's snowy or below 20 degrees. So excited because I just got the Houston Green Barefoot Rangers, but haven't started wearing them yet. Planning for AR8's or a custom order Summer 2025.

I have a pair of Barefoot African Ranges in Huston Brown. With wear and brushing they don't look nubuck anymore, lol. Not polished or matte either. Something between. Anyway, I want a second pair in the new Bronco leather. Thanks for the upload, I enjoyed you sharing your boots with us.

You find the sizing consistent? How does sizing compare to your iron rangers?

Yes, I have several pairs and they all fit the same. They run true to size while the iron rangers run big.

Can you comment on the decision to get double lasting in your custom pair, and the differences in feel, weight, and performance vs the standard version you’ve been wearing?
@xplorsocal2222 Ай бұрын
I went with the double lasted option because I had been wearing my Baobab a lot and the it is double lasted, I like the feel of it. Hard to say on the weight difference because I also got the leather midsole which added more weight too. I don’t have enough wear in them to really give good feedback on the long term performance. I can say that they are very comfortable and the toe seems to have more structure than the single lasted version. Thanks for watching, don’t forget to sub 😂.
