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!

Jim Green has a size guide for all their footwear on the site, and it corresponds to what last the footwear uses.

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.
