I have two pairs of African Rangers. One pair in Crazy Horse and one pair of brown. Excellent boots. Well made and most importantly, comfortable. Thank you for making a great product for a reasonable price. From the hard working City of Bogalusa, Louisiana, USA.

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

@schaefy4070 Год назад

Which color do you like more? Looking to get one and can’t decide between the two

@jamesquinn6874 Год назад

I worked in bogalusa with the Pennsylvania national guard after hurricane katrina!!! Go lumberjacks!!!!

Very interesting indeed. I can't say enough about Jim Green , the videos are amazing , informative and enjoyable to watch. Owning a pair of Jim Green boots has become important to me. Getting their name out there is important for the work they do in nature is valuable. Thanks Jim Green 🐸❤️👍

@yusukeiwakawa6797 Год назад

I love how you focus on reconditioning and making things as serviceable as possible. After trying out African Ranger boot had to get another after reading your pamphlet on boot care. I'm rotating between the two boots weekly. Thank you for making them.

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

Hi Yusuke, Thank you for your support. Just like humans, your boots do need rest to, by rotating your options you shall be getting the most from your boots. We are always here and happy to assist should you have any questions down the line.

@dbmail545 4 месяца назад

JG is the first boot maker that I have seen that recommends a second pair to rotate with the first. I have two pairs of African Rangers that I rotate because I had learned that stomping the riverswamp years ago.

@alonsomontano9652 Год назад

Nice work. In my opinion, I think that a leather conditioner and could have been used before polish. BTW size 8d.

@zachupton3647 Год назад

There is something about the patina of a pair of hard-working Jim Green Razorbacks. I am always looking forward to the next Jim Green videos. 💪🐸

@andrewpratt3010 Год назад

Once again another awesome video. Thanks, Jim Green for providing us with the ultimate in footwear.....

@vunguy3n Год назад

Loved watching this. Great work restoring them. They looked in really rough shape in the beginning and who knows what you would have run into with a home repair.

@matthewlockhart3226 Год назад

Love these videos and all four pair of my JG's. Excellent footwear!!! Hard-wearing, good looking and no gimmicks!

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

Thanks for the support Matthew!

@AleksiJoensuu Год назад

I wonder if that upper restoration could have benefited from a *light* sanding or scrubbing to get some of that scuffing and scarring a bit smoother. Then using some good leather cream to treat the leather a bit more deeply. I'm not sure what the brown product is but it looks more like a dye or paint? Seems to give the shoe a brown colour on top, but does it do much to condition the leather under it? Educate me if I'm wrong in my doubts.

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

Hi Aleksi, the product in video used is a Policream which indeed does possess renovating properties along with being a leather polish 💪💪

@ac9110 Год назад

Yes, I've just bought my first pair of African Rangers in Crazy Horse and instantly forgot I was wearing them, a sure sign that you've got a happy pair of feet! Regards from England.

Interesting that neither the original double stitching nor the folded-out upper suffered damage from the third stitching!

@seboudog Год назад

I purchased my second pair of JG boots yesterday! I am already planning on my third pair.

@zachupton3647 Год назад

What have you purchased and what are you planning to purchase? I think I want an African Ranger in Crazy Horse or Black. I have two pairs of Razorbacks and a Stockholm.

@seboudog Год назад

Hi, I have the suede vellie in khaki. I just purchased the African Ranger in brown. I plan to purchase the vellie with the wedge sole and oily leather when it becomes available. Cheers from Florida USA.

@nicetrysucka7 Год назад

If he cleaned his boots regularly they would've looked brand new.

@tresconik Год назад

Beautiful to see. I'm still trying to decide between the Stockman and Razorback

@zachupton3647 Год назад

I have both and I have been very pleased with the quality and comfort.

@tresconik Год назад

@@zachupton3647 which would you recommend for use mostly walking in the city?

@zachupton3647 Год назад

@@tresconik I'd say the Razorback with the wedge sole. The Razorback has been the best boot I've ever owned

@tresconik Год назад

@@zachupton3647 Oh wow. Do you find the wedge sole slippery at all? Especially on wet tiles or concrete? I was leaning towards the normal sole because I figure the wedge sole will start to hydroplane once it wears down.

@zachupton3647 Год назад

@@tresconik I wear lug soles for work because I work outside on steep slopes but if I'm going to be walking pavement I wear wedge soles. Yes, a wedge might wear down faster but it wears like a sneaker and it's more comfortable than having a heel. I've got 20+ years in land survey in central Illinois. Used to be a Red Wing guy now I'm Jim Green for life

@somersthesunless9091 8 месяцев назад

At first I was a bit apprehensive about the synthetic fiber midsole that is used on some of the boots for longevity’s sake, but I was wrong. They hold up well for a long time. I think it could be argued that they hold up better than some leather midsoles. Also a great bonus is the affordability of them. You continue to put out an honest product all the way around!

@stevenroche9874 Год назад

Another great video, Jim Green 🐸 🥾🥾! Those boots have taken a beating, yet they're ready again for more mileage. Best regards.

@matthewcaughey8898 7 месяцев назад

Just bought a pair of Jim greens on Amazon for 89 bucks on a Black Friday sale. Now I’m starting a job where I need both steel toes and metatarsal guards for it so I can’t wear them to work ( I buy rockport works for that unfortunately since Jim green doesn’t offer what I need). So I bought the Greens as a casual / weekend pair of boots. If you guys ever offer a steel toe and a met guard that meets us MT-75 requirements let me know and I’ll happily purchase a pair of them.

great video!

@andriesdejager3777 6 месяцев назад

I have three pairs of Jim Green boots, Bought my first pair of Mean Machine boots on 19/11/2020. Must say this is the most comfortable of the three. After about six months the soles came loose from the mid soles. I have also sewed the soles on. Second pair is my "dans, kerk en nie werk" shoes, Town and country. My third pair is the reason for watching this video, African Rangers. Bought them 08/11/2022 and today is the second time I have to glue the soles where they came loose..

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial 6 месяцев назад

Good day Andries, thank you for the support. We take huge pride in the quality of each pair provided to our customers and what you mention above is not up to our Jim Green standard, please kindly get in touch in regards to the issue you are experiencing and we shall happily assist in getting you up and going again on your Jim Green journey 🐸

Any plans to resole your boots at the Virginia facility for us Yanks?

@thekeshwin Год назад

When the razor back wears in it is like walking on air

@KirkBygate-xo5nj 6 месяцев назад

His mates modification is a sorely needed upgrade to the Razorbacks. I've had the soles come off two pairs of Jim Greens, one pair was brand new. It's the reason I stopped buying Jim Greens after more than 15 years of wearing them. I would go back to them if they sewed the soles on.

@bri1085 2 месяца назад

Couldn't you get a good cobbler to do that for you?

@Matthewbaldi Год назад

This is was an awesome video… I’m from Durban what would a resoling cost ?

@warrenstevenson6699 Год назад

My old faithful boots unfortunately have to be pensioned off. They have been resoled 3 times but now the leather under the boot has torn. Already on the next pair.

@bootsrparis2522 Год назад

Wow, 3 times. Who can beat JG?

@Doc.Holiday Год назад

African Ranger owner here, love ‘em!!! Do you re-sole, or do you recommend someone in the US? Do you sell soles? Mine have lots of miles to go but I’d like to know for when I get there. I’m a very active back country 70 year old senior. My goal is to wear them out before I wear out.

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

Good day, thank you for your support and kind words towards Jim Green Footwear, this is much appreciated. We would recommend making use of a local cobbler in the USA. We do not have any soles in stock in the USA as of the moment but, we are expecting a touch down of soles in around May and listed on our website . Please do let us know if there is anything further we may assist with 💪💪

@Doc.Holiday Год назад

@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial ,… thank you for tending my question. I don’t really know why I asked as I don’t even buy green bananas anymore. My best!!!

@Rob8 Год назад

Did you stitch the uppers to the new soles?

@AndrewSparkfish Год назад

Just the magic sticky potion used by the looks of it.

@kyle-qw5yx Год назад

Do you guys offer resoles for USA customers?

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Год назад

Hi Kyle, our resoling is offered to our South African customers. Due to the Stitchdown construction a local cobbler can make of an easy resole job.

@sstein49 Год назад

I’m excited to see if I can wear out a pair of buffalo rangers, I am guessing they will last for 5 years or more before they are ready to resole ? I’m preparing to go on a safari in 2024 and a desert sheep in Mexico, will keep testing them for sure

@fredseekingbibleturth Год назад

I am aware that I did get a reply about my issue with Jim green having a convex sole and that not being normal but if I pause this video at 8:11 I can clearly see the convex sole on this very shoe so I am confused.

@craig7887 Год назад

Prior to 8:11 the video shows a patch they added to the midsole. The patch sticks up above the old midsole. So when they adhere the new sole it isn't flat, it's convex.

@fredseekingbibleturth Год назад

@@craig7887 which in turn causes discomfort until it wears down flat.

@craig7887 Год назад

Oh, okay. I was just trying to remark on your comment about being confused why the sole in the video was convex.

@fredseekingbibleturth Год назад

@@craig7887 I was more confused with the reply I got when I contacted Jim Green about the issue and the reply was that it should not be convex and wanted to fix the issue and then I see on this video that it is convex. Hope that clears things up. I am glad they wanted to fix the issue but I think this is the way it is designed and they way they make it would have to change in order to not be convex. Which honestly could make things worse for others.

@craig7887 Год назад

Oh. Got it. Sorry, I didn't realize.
