More about this item

Well, I got these a full size larger than I should have by accident in the first batch of orders sent but decided to suck it up in order to compete in the dome! A pair of the 15oz insoles from Dale's Leatherworks did just the trick in making these boots wearable (thanks, Dale). I have a really wide toe splay, so even with these being a full size larger my toes would still need to splay out at the end of the day haha.

It seemed really cool, the concept that is, and I had never owned a barefoot shoe/boot before so I thought I'd give it a try!

It was interesting since when the Barefoot African Ranger was released, the site had crashed due to traffic haha. When I realised I had gotten 1.5 sizes too large, I emailed asking for a size change and it then became just 1 size too large which was at least wearable.
