I like what you said about the toebox not being high enough! I have skipped through these Jim Green boots and opted for Caterpillar as a result of the flat toebox.
converse were invented in liek 1908 or smth tho
What's the name of the jacket/hoodie you are wearing?
This boot, while very well made, is not specifically designed for ‘park rangers’. This design has been around for years and is a general purpose bush boot. You will see this design worn by professional hunters (PH) and their clients, as well as, anyone who works, in the field, on concessions. The sole material/no heal, is specifically designed for quietly stalking animals. It’s not as tough as a traditional low heal material/design. While the buffalo hide is tough, elephant and hippo are more durable. They will cost more. I’m sure these boots are well made, but the Ranger ‘stuff’ is marketing. But considering they are being marketed to the US consumer, who is going to stalk their soy latte at Starbucks, they should last a lifetime.
Promo-SM 💘
We'll jump into that real quick, I mean hop into th…. hahahahah
Boer is Afrikaans for farmer
I would say the African Big 3 in boots in my opinion number one is the Rogue RB5 followed by Jim Green and Groundcover boots.
I do not consider myself to be part of the "youtube police" but as an Afrikaans speaking South African just allow me the following constructive comment. To use the term "boer – farmers" might be confusing as it might come across as farmers farming with "boer" when in actual fact "boer" is the Afrikaans word for "farmer".
Hahaha imagine if Jim Green was fooling everyone and actually poaching African wild buffalo for boots, that'd be crazy. I have some steel toe jim green razorbacks and 2 months in they've been great! I kinda want a 2nd pair of Jim Greens because they fit my feet so much better than my other boots since they're a lot wider toe box and width
I had never heard of these boots before… so thanks for the video and education. Also, what jacket are you wearing? Looks like a Carhart of Filson type coat and is it lined and warm? Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work.
Veld skoen = field shoe
I use a steel toe capped version for industrial version used in industry Jim Green , Best boots I have ever had.
I currently own two pairs of Jim Green's, the Vellie and Outback Chelsea. They have very quickly become my favourite shoes and I plan on moving to Jim Green's for my hiking boots, I just need to figure out what pair. They break in quick and get comfier with every single wear and are built to outlast you! Would highly recommend these shoes and boots, especially if your a ZA local like me!!
Your pronunciations are funny. Silly poes.
Vellies are the first shoes I've owned in life. Never once did I think that an American will one day review a pair of vellies😂
"Boer" means farmer
8:43 Wait. When you say denim, do you mean jeans or denim to make stuff? I've never had to pay teriffs for Japanese imports? Maybe it's because they're books?
Thanks for the recognition and attempts at correct pronunciation of our language and people! I have been involved in volunteer anti poaching work and expedition hiking. . . I can confirm that the South African bush is no joke, had a company politely ask me to not buy their boots again after I sent them photos of what their top product looks like, barely surviving (but never to be worn again) one expedition. . . I have had burnt wood pierce straight through the bottom sole of high brand working mountain boots! Vibram soles, they don't last 7km in the bush, trust someone who spent the money and tried.
and on top of that in South Africa they will arrest the anti poachers who chased down the poachers and brought them to the police station .. .in turn the poachers who may be a bit bruised and bloodied by the chase and capture will be treated to hospital care and the anti-poachers need to try and fight for their freedom and the consequences of a criminal record. the shoes are great though.
The boots you promote seldom get any serious rock shale, ice, crag hopping, slippery shoreline rock clambering, hot desert sand wading lava skipping trials. Stepping into mud puddles in the local forest park is hardly a proper test of these expensive products. A bit like testing a 1000 cc Superbike in a supermarket car park. Hit some slopes man.
Vellies means skin lol
Picked up a pair in water buffalo hide last year. Took more breaking in than the softer leather but they are practically bulletproof.
what colorway are the boots shown in the video. i cant find any with the darker tongue
RiP they only make them up to size 14's, lol. I need at least a 15 in US Mens. $100 ~ $180 is in the normal price range for shoes in my size, so that's not really too bad. How wide are the shoes? I need 4E width too.
First thing love your channel, I got a reccomend for you and I saw your video on the Danner Mountain Light and I subed instantly. You provide all information you would need without a ton of fluff. With that said though
I have enough addictions and only 2 feet stop recommending badass boots that I want/need to buy damnt. Please think of my poor wallet lol
Please don't say boer farmer. You are just saying farmer farmer. Another quick one, V in Afrikaans is pronounced with the F sound and D is a T sound. Say it like 'fellies, and FelTskoen(veldskoen). Still a good video!
Thanks bro! If I didn't come across your short about these I wouldn't have known about them. Ordered a pair last night. Can't wait! I went with the fudge colorway. Made with crazyhorse leather
African Ranger? I barely even know 'er
Just received my NUMZAAN boots from Jim Green Footwear 🥾🐸👍 They remind me of Red Wing Shoes – Iron Ranger. These African Ranger type shoes will be a big staple for the company I think. Love what they are doing!
Go Jim Green 🐸 #pepe
There are three sizes that no one wears in each color or style. So basically these don't actually exist.
Hey Australian here. It pains me to say it but RM Williams may have let me down… especially when an alternative like this pops up
All the normal sizes are sold out😮
drippy boots!!!!
I thought you talked watches with that other dude who wears his jackets indoors?!
The barefoot zero drop Ranger is fantastic.
