African Ranger Barefoot Boot
Jim Green Footwear
I love these boots thought i have many Jim Green custom one off boots and other brands like Leems and others lime Custom recrafted Thursday Captains and Allen Edmonds Oden wauld dress boots .. these first Run Barefoot African rangers are my daily Go to boots .. ive worn them in all conditions.. they have never failed!! They are work like a great leather jacket or baseball glove.. they have almost a copper color to them.. the last set of photos i conditioned them with Sapphir nubuck spray and Black Rock.. These are well worn but not abused.
After Two years almost they have developed a copper hue.. creases and leather are worn like a great leather chair or Jacket.. Black Rock conditioner and Sapphir water proof soray and sometimes nu-buck to spray they offer to replenish oils.. and brush with a horse Hair brush after use. And Always use cedar foot trees. These boots ha e been to Niagra Falls and Toronto
They fit like a glove i have a wide foot and high arches to keep with barefoot principles i dont use an insert.
Jim Green builds great boots… they ate top notch and i own several custom ones in various styles and leathers.. they take a beating.
Love the sticky traction and comfort.. they are pretty versatile in various conditions weather wise.. obviously walking on asphalt will wear them down sooner.. the boot itself is very flexible and packable of you hike or travel.. The African Ranger are a unique design and construction thats what drew me to my original Rangers i had recrafted as a more Tactical style boot
Gareth at Jim Green is a stand up guy.. these boots ate rugged and their customer boot options are well made and affordable.
