More about this item
There is a break-in process. It’s not horrible but it’s gonna take a hot minute and you’ll feel it if you over wear them for completely broken in.See background
Why did you choose this item?
This is my second pair of Jim Green boots; I also have a pair of African Rangers in Crazy Horse. They fit well and are great to wear. So back to the brand for a second pair. But I decided on a different style. That was an easy choice I don’t own any Moc-toe boots. Talking my self out of the crazy horse leather again was hard. I really like the crazy horse. I went back and forth between the Bronco and the Houston brown. In the end I thought the Bronco would be versatile.
How did you determine your size?
I followed Jom Green recommendation that it is sized true to Brannock. I also tried on 11.5; my shoe size has been in a little bit of a flux recently. I wasn’t swimming in those and the fit well enough. I have a pair of African rangers in 11.5 that occasionally think are too big. So, with all that knowledge I choose the size 11s.
What was the ordering process?
Ordering was a breeze, and then shipping was fast.

The last started out stiff, not as stiff as a PNW boot but there was an active breaking in period. The pull up on the leather is amazing.

It’s roomie toe box. Good cushion

It’s well put together. It’s a true moccasin construction. It’s appears to be quite durable.

Final thoughts
The Jim Green Meander Moc-Toe is a great boot. It’s good looking and well constructed. After the break-in, once the leather has soften up they are a joy to wear. All day comfort, fits like a glove but with ample room for the toes to wiggle around. The leather is wearing in nicely in both comfort and astetics. It has a great price point; worth every penny paid and then some. It would be a great first boot for someone.
