Throughout the 1970's/80's almost everyone in the British military wore desert boots, DB's or Desert Wellies as we in the Royal Marines called them. I need a pair of your boots in my life 🥾 👍
Good stuff! I am sure you have thought of everything in your development cycles. Just in case: re; Shoellies. How about an inner strip of material with the eyelets pre-attached in proper position, the VAMP/Upper could have the holes (as you already do) that match. Then glue and sew the strip in-between the inner and outer layers. This will hide the eyelets, add durability and still maintain the SHOEllie's appeal.
You have so many nice boots and shoes - I want them all! Curious how production of the Baobab Boot is going? Got a pair of those on pre-order that I can't wait to receive! :)
Good day and thank you for the feedback, the local (South African) orders are rolling out the factory as we speak. As for the USA pre-orders, our shipment is currently en route to the USA and as soon as it touches down, we shall be shipping. Our delivery is expected in the last week of May💪
I have had a pair of the vellies for 5 months now and I really like them, they're tan and I waterproofed them with beeswax while it was raining and the color looks even better now.
A woman at the library kept smiling at me, turns out- She thought i was a "Squaddie" because of my vellies. These chukkas are reminiscent of the 60's RatPack look. Well kosher.
I’m loving my Buffalo African Rangers. I’m still wearing them mostly into town but also more and more around the ranch, like right now. I just ordered rough out vellies to replace a hiking shoe that I’ve worn for years around the home. The vellies look so much better than the ugly shoe and I’m sure they will be more versatile. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support and great feedback! Our Vellie, just like our African Ranger, is extremely versatile. We look forward to hearing the adventures ahead with your boots and please do get in touch should you have any questions along the way 💪💪
My shoellies just arrived today and I can honestly say that they are exactly what I hoped they'd be. My long and narrow foot made the vellies look pretty clownish on me, but this new last is perfect for me. I can't wait to see how these wear in.
I ordered a pair of shoellie and I find them very comfy. Now looking at the African ranger and wonder how the can by compared to the shoellies in terms of feel on the feet. What's your opinion. p.s. should I go half size down?
I love my African Ranger a lot and I am thinking about buying a pair of shoellies. The sole is incredible, even in frozen winter conditions and on wet forest ground they have plenty of grip. The Shoellie in the video is this a Houston brown one? It looks very dark, more like black… If so I might better buy a Fudge Crazy Horse and apply some leather oil.
I've got the traditional Vellie (maybe the first one in Hungary), and i have to say i only want to buy Jim Green boots now. The importance of toe space has been forgotten long ago, and it is just so comforting not to have my toes crushed at the end of the day. The construction is durable and casual at the same time, i can wear them to work in the lab and then to walk my dog, and for me they are fancy enough to wear to more official events as well. I really appreciate your work and I couldn't be happier when i found the European reseller. Lifetime buyer here as well.
Very happy with my size 13.5 Rambler Vellies! Size 14s were sold out on Cyber Monday, so had to settle for a half size smaller which turned out to fit great, and most importantly wide enough for my 4eeee foot. Loo!ing forward to buying more Jim Greens - Shoellies or Rangers!
Thank you for checking out our video, the sounds could be our signature frog crock or the hammering from our construction in the back - We're expanding, which is exciting, but can be a little noisy at times.
@@ivanbrownflower9828 I would say so. There is a completely smooth top grain on the inside of the vellie. I get the impression the inside was slightly sanded (might be wrong on that) but it still looks like a full grain roughout. It also seems to be pretty slick on the inside like its got a lot of oils in the leather. I did watch a few other channels impressions on Jim Green boots, but even just looking at them now I can tell its not suede as there is the looser fibers on the outside, you can see the grain at the top as there is an unfinished edge to the uppers, and a smooth interior with no lining, just the top layer of the leather
@@Dea_Decayhey. I have the exact same on their way. Question, 1/2 sizes not available, so I went up 1/2 a size. In your opinion, did I mess up or think will be ok? My rangers in the 1/2 size are absolutely perfect! Thanks
Our boots are true to fit however we do recommend sizing up half a size on our Shoellie should you be looking for a slightly less snug fit from our ASHM last.
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial went with your recommendation on the shoellie" ordering us size 12 and they fit great. Looking at the A. Rangers. Should I also go the same size as the shoellies or 11.5 ? Thanks for the recommendation
Good day and thank you for the interest. The best option for the time being would be to place an order with our German stockist, L'Atelier Monsieur, or to place an order through Amazon. As we expand we are looking into methods to make Jim Green boots readily available world wide 🐸💪
@@senorpuertas 🤷🏼♂️brother, I do not recall my heavy, super stiff boots, that had more eyelets being like this basically chukka boots. They are both leather boots, but the similarities end there “ for me”. F-14A Tomcats ( brand new) out of North Island. I believe the squadron was VF-14, Tophatters. Cheers! I actually found the issued boondockers I had. I can see how at a glance, they could remind someone, but, the actually construction is much different. 5 eyelets on each side, etc.
Good day Hendrik. The colour in the video is our Houston Brown Leather. On the South African site, it is the darkest colour option when you select the Shoellie. 🐸
Good day, this is our Mala boot you are referring to above, we have not included this boot in the video as we will soon be discontinuing it from the range 💪
I absolutely love your boots. The one thing I wish they had. Was instead of the little jim green tag. You would a small South African flag. Kind of like fjallraven does with the Swedish flag on all of their products.

Would like to see the Oringo sole on the Vellie.
Bet the Turbo sales would improve if Rose Anvil cut them in half.

No no no! Please don't stop making the Turbo vellie!!
Would love to see the turbos come stateside
Vellies remind me of the Clark's Bushacre 2, but a WAAAYYYY roomier toe box!
Looking forward to my pre-ordered pair of Shoellies!
This feels like saying a Toyota Hilux has more headroom than a hyundai elantra.
Thanks for the support! We look forward to the feedback once the journey begins 🐸💪
Please can we see that shoelie video of 6 months with your pair of shoelies. I ordered mine today and am so excited to have them arive.
Keep your eyes peeled, this video is in the works for a near future release 💪💪
Please make a full review of the ar8

Any plans to do a production run of barefoot Shoellies? I'm just one guy, but I feel like you'd have a huge success there.

Would love to buy a turbo vellie in dark brown. Is there a reason why this is not offered?
Good day, thank you for the interest. Please can you email info@jimgreenfootwear.co.za and we can see what we can do.
any chance that has the shoellie lasting to Chukka boot?
i wish there will be a Jim Green Moc Toe someday. 😁

I would totally buy your dark horse in the US I love durability😮

The dark house is not good. Heel too high and sole too thick. Looks like a Dr Marten clone. Sorry I don’t like that model. Others are better. ❤

I just got my roughout chesnut Vellies 3 days ago! They seem great so far and will probably be the boot I wear most this summer!
So they're definitely rough out, not suede? Was thinking of order some custom AR8s in the brown "suede"..

I ordered yesterday a Suede Vellie. First time to have a Chukka Boot.
What color are those shoellies in this video?
That is our Houston Brown material 💪
Are you planing to improve availability in EU? I bought Vellies form the last shipment and am (after watching the video) interested in Shoellies...

We called them boondockers in the Navy.
My boondockers that I had to run in during boot camp on the tarmac were nothing like these.

Which color of the Shoellies are featured in this video? I can't seem to fund a matching color on the South African site. Thank you.
Good day Hendrik. The colour in the video is our Houston Brown Leather. On the South African site, it is the darkest colour option when you select the Shoellie. 🐸
A true modernised desert boot (Also, wasn't featured in the video, but in the background there appears to be a Vellie with the Razorback outsole?)
