I feel that it fits true to size. Plenty of width in the toe box. Feels slightly long, but I think that's more of an illusion than reality.

More about this item

Looking forward to breaking these in and making them my go-to winter boot

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Stock Model
Outdoor Activities

I'm a big fan of Jim Green boots, and I thought the true moccasin construction was very unique considering the price.

How did you determine your size?

Jim Green MT Last: 9.5EEEUS Men's Brannock: 9.5D/E

Jim Green states that their boots run true to size. My other pairs are 9.5, so that's what I went with. The fit is great for my feet.

I bought these with the idea of being my go-to winter boot as well as casual boot. Occasionally a work and hiking boot, too.

Break-In
Durability

As of writing this, I'm only three days in. Break in is tough, but not torture. Some creative lacing is helping me relieve some pressure points. I've brushed them every evening, and that's causing some areas to become "polished". As of right now, I have not treated these boots with anything.

Satisfied with the Fit

For me, the fit has been great. Very comfortable. They seem a tad short in the toe box, but I think it's more because of the shape.

Construction
Durability

Typical Jim Green construction and quality. Tough and simple. They're not perfect, but they're not supposed to be. I always felt that Jim Green boots are more akin to tools than fashion.

Sole & heel

Traction
Comfort

I'm finding that these are very comfortable soles. Tons of grip, too. I've been walking on concrete, snow and ice. Great traction.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

I may still be in the honeymoon phase, but I am very pleased with these boots. Dare I say that I'm excited to wear them and see how they develop.

Good wide toe box for a more natural toe splay. Leather held up well to a good wash and wax.
