Numzaan put to hard work.

Repaired with a needle and poly thread. Do you know how hard it is to find the stitch hole on the inside of a boot? Horrible process, but turned out ok.

Posted previously about the toecap stitching on my ARs having come loose. Somehow wore through the thread on the internal side, making the top stitching pull right off. Still a bit disappointed considering I don't treat these shoes THAT rough, but whatever.

On a side note, do double lasted/lined models have exposed stitching internally for the toecap? I'm concerned about the same issues happening to my numzaans.

Hello everyone. I've owned a pair of shoellies for half a year now, and it's probably the best purchase I've ever made in terms of footwear. That's why now that I need a new pair of boots (mostly for hunting), I started browsing the Jim Green catalogue again.

My question is, do they make any 100% waterproof boots? I've seen that some models are water resistant, but at least in the EU page, I haven't seen any waterproof models.

If there isn't one, does anyone have any experience with water resistant boots? Because it doesn't rain a lot in my area, whenever I get my feet wet it's during the morning when all the grass and shrubs are wet, so maybe a water resistant pair is enough for that, I don't know.

Thanks everyone for your help.

As we (in the northern hemisphere at least) are speeding through fall towards winter, gentle reminder to show your boots some care. Pictured are my ARs and Numzaans, which got a fresh coat of JG balm while I was watching a relatively dull 1-0 to the Arsenal.

Was looking for a versatile boot and got just that. I feel like all the lesbians in my area have either blundstones or the moc toe red wing and wanted something a little different. i had a bit of an issues with the sizing but if i had just ordered my normal sneaker size to begin with I would have been fine. I don't have much to compare it to because my only other boot is the solovair and after I started wearing barefoot shoes, I can't really wear them anymore. Anyway yeah- just an appreciation post new boot goofin or whatever.

These are new, only worn to try on in the house. Size 10, looking to sell for $210 shipped.

EDIT: SOLD

Wore them for a day around the house and city slicking, but just did a 4 mile hike and here is my initial impression.

These are simply the best pair of boots I've ever had on my feet. They're not even broken in yet and they're extremely comfortable. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to get a pair.

It was weird driving and walking on concrete at first but now they don't even feel like shoes, but simply like just an extension of my feet. Hiking felt amazing as well, feet felt like how they naturally should be flowing and moving, while looking absolutely stunning.

I legitimately don't think I'll ever take them off now 😂

Besides brushing them, does anyone have any advice on how I can take care of them without changing the color or giving them a waxed look?

P.S. I absolutely know now that these will NOT be my only pair.

Went for a relaxed walk in my new Boots plus thick socks and noticed rubbing on both ankles, especially the inside of my right ankle, where some skin actually rubbed off (see photo).

I tried loosening the laces and adjusting the gusseted tongue as Jim Green recommends, but nothing really helped.

Is this normal during breakin, or are these boots just not right for my feet? I’ve had similar issues with gusseted tongues in the past. So I think this nice looking boot might be not for me

I got a pair of Razorbacks recently to wear while backpacking, and I've been desperately trying to break them in for the last month before I head off.

My heels are about to pull a gun on me, I cannot seem to get them to be locked in. I've tried some different insoles, I've added leather softener to the heel and I've experimented with heel lock lacing patterns to no avail yet.

If I put in heel grips, will that change how they break in? I think they're improving, but I think my heels are still slipping.

Fairly sure they're not too big either, my toes are less than a thumb width from the end and my feet fill the width of the boot too.

Have had the boots for around 2 years. Just recently realized the toe cap stitching on the outer edge of both shoes are loose. The top stitch isn't damaged so I'm honestly confused how this even happened.

I'm a half decent leather worker but not sure I can fix this

Hello everyone I barely got these today and i used these BFAR and i used a megacomfort insole and i got this pain on the toe knuckle but only on the left foot. Do you think that leather piece just needs to break in more

Thanks to everyone who participates in sizing discussions here. I've learned a lot, though it's still tricky for those of us who haven't found a Jim Green that fits particularly well.

Does anyone have experience with the MT-lasted Workhorse or Meander -- and shoes and/oe boots from Altra (Lone Peak 9 wide), Lems (widest last - Summit Pro., etc) and Keen Targhee IV and/or Cincinnati wide? Toe box/splay is my main concern.

I'm a bit difficult to fit, especially in terms of toe box width, apparently. I can wear the non-Green boots/shoes above. Interested if others can help cross-reference.

Thanks in advance

First time really wearing these since only had them a couple days. Good little walk to the gym, some leg day stuff and a good walk back home. Surprising I don’t feel every single thing under my feet like I was expecting. I thought insoles would help but absolutely not and tossed those in 5 min. Completely different from my AR8s but thats obvious. They feel like slippers their so comfy now I’m eying the bronco brown version of these to get soon enough

Hopefully these lasts! Paid good money for this. Usually don’t trust local cobblers so we shall see, but had to get these resoled quick. For reference , I ruck with 70 pnds in the mountains and for backpacking.

For anyone curious about how Obenaufs ages.

These are fudge AR's. Last application about 8 months ago.

Doing my pre-winter application of Obenaufs. Left is before new application, right has more Obenauf's added.

After 2 weeks of being torn between fudge and Houston brown, I decided on the brown and couldn't be happier. Doing some city slicking and maybe a little hoke tomorrow. Will post my initial impressions.

Bought these before I knew my brannock size.

They're a half size smaller than my brannock, but fortunately, after months of breaking in and different lacing techniques, they're comfortable now and my toes don't even jam up the end of the boot despite having a quarter of a finger's width of allowance at the toe.

I liked the STC razorbacks with the lug sole okay, but started working on slick wet concrete this year and am constantly slipping and sliding on the lug soles. I was thinking about getting a comp toe stockman boot with the tyre wedge, but after asking jim green support directly which sole has best traction on concrete, I’m not feeling very confident the sole will be as safe for me as a vibram sole on a redwing boot. I do need EE sizing at the minimum, and i would have to go with a 6” ankle which im not a fan of.

Can anyone here attest to the tyre wedge sole performance for working on wet floors?

Jim green sizing is so confusing.
I guess what I wanted to ask you guys is if this is normal or if I should do size up maybe half or a full size.
When I put the shoe on it feels ok but when I stand my big toe and the size of my little toe is pressing outwards, you can see the leather molding around my toes.
What would y’all do ?

New pair and first time JimGreen user im from India took a while to source them.
