Have become a HUGE fan of Jim Green in 2024. Great leather, good value, well thought-out styles. All available from their AWESOME custom shop on their zero-drop/barefoot last. Waiting on my seventh pair of custom barefoots.
So stoked for these boots. To self - *you must wait to see how the current boot lineup shakes out before getting a new boot. You must wait to see how the current boot lineup shakes out before getting a new boot. You must…*
These look great! Something I think you should offer in the line is the normal african ranger with a double last. I think it would go down really well in wetter parts of Europe ans America.
Seems like an upgraded African Ranger to me. Wish I had some spare money to get some, but will likely need to wait a few months. Currently saving up for Jim's moc toed shoes.
These JG "How It's Made" are so impressive. Thank you for including the terminology involved in each step. No need for Rose Anvil (Weston) to ruin a pair of new boots that could go on a Ranger's feet! I ordered my pair of 719 Bronco when they were first listed and have been checking the mail every day since. I cannot wait to beat mine up! Thank you!
if they were sold retail to rose anvil they weren't going to a ranger, and by rose anvil buying them that goes towards getting a pair to a ranger, it also helps drive sales that supports the company and get more boots to rangers.
@light2677 Beat up the pair that you fit at age 15 then, get a new pair once your feet grow. Donate the others to charity as there is someone out there that cannot afford a quality pair of boots in your size. You will be doing a service to humanity and a benefit to your heart by doing good.
@sheckydiamond7533 Are you kidding?!? What are you wearing on feet at this price point that is built better than any boot that Jim Green manufactures??? Review the JG mission and then, ask yourself whether your suggestion makes any sense.
@@themoor5498it depends if he’s South African bro. R3500 is a tough ask for a pair of boots here and their R5000 African trooper is just wild. A lot of people just can’t justify the expense regardless of quality.
Jim Green did not offer Black Friday sale prices on Amazon. Many of us were hoping to be able to buy a pair. Razorback first sold at $139. Now they are $199. Well beyond my reach without a sale. How did the price go up so high in a few years?
@yiyoink Hmm... I disagree. My African Buffalo Numzaan's on the STC Last does NOT look anything like the CM x JG 719 Military-style Service Boots on the ASHM Last. I can justify owning both pairs 🤔
Under 200 dollars these were a good deal in the US, over 200 and the construction not as good, and the insole needing to be replaced for comfort, not so much.
Its now a little disappointing that Jim Green prioritised the US market even over South Africans! As everything seems to be released there first now, ooh well!
These should really be a standard model from now on and hopefully not just a limited collaboration model.
@@EvilSSP I believe they are the standard model for the 719 boot range
Been saving up.for about a month, gonna buy my first pair of Jim Greens this Friday!! Very excited

Are you hiking k2 everyday? Why do you have 7?
Looks like a real winner right there. I want a pair of those!!!
Mine are in the next city over and should arrive Tuesday, or hopefully tomorrow. I've got these coming with a pair of African Trooper Roughouts.
they in the mail, can't wait!!!
Great looking boot.
Loe these videos showing the process. These are really handsome boots.
Great video! Thanks!
Are these going to Amazon?
a handsome boot!
Just got my second pair of jim greens, a nice pair of AR8s
Beautiful boots. I just know that I'll be getting a pair at some point..
I like how the cutting tools have "CM" for the one and only Carl Murawski!
I love them!
Really wouldn’t mind the option to customize these and the Rugged.
Ooohh yess pleasee
So stoked for these boots.

@SMWTheBar I tell myself something similar but, my ears aren't listening! 😆
2025 is going to be a big year for Jim Green.
Do you plan to make a black leather pair? These look great!
they only offer these 2 pairs right now
Cool!!

Just ordered the rugged African rangers but I would love to add these to the rotation sometime
Consider making a Jim Green wading boot for fishing. Perhaps something similar to the Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots.
Wish we could choose shoelace colors cuz green laces wouldve been nice…
@ehe4364 You can choose; JG sells all its available laces on the website.

They are very different to the African ranger
Black leather please ?! 👍

Beautiful boot but that last doesn’t work for me. I’d like to see some of these more premium options on the STC last.
I'm 15 and want to buy them but i don't want to outgrow them😭

Can they be made with the barefoot sole
No custom options for this boot yet they're 2 weeks old
I like the boot, just wish the outsole was barefoot, mini or full lug. For my purposes, the frog does not meet any needs.
Offer a sale so that us low income people can afford a pair.

@themoor5498 Not all of us have $250 + tax. The reality of the poor.
@@sheckydiamond7533 not even the poor tho bro even middle class. 250 bucks on boots it’s tough

If I wore a Numzaan on my left foot and a 719 on the right, nobody could tell the difference other than me. Do I still want it? Yes.

@themoor5498 stock for stock, they look pretty similar. The stock Numzaan and the stock 719 are both on the ASHM last. Customs don't count.

What are you talking about? Construction? These are built better than red wing. Insole? These uses a veg tanned leather insole. Shut up
@@filthyvibes4768 he is talking rubbish
Are you ok?

True. Never forget where you came from.
was very disappointed to hear I could only get these in March when im 30 mins from the factory
Because they can sell the boot more in the US than South Africa unfortunately. They are slowly out pricing themselves out of the US market.
Literally the same. I'm from pmb but still have to wait 3 months
Time to give groundcover a try...
