Jim Green’s are legendary in Southern Africa. Game Rangers, Farmers (Ranchers), Miners and Forestry Workers love them. Know of plenty Jim Green’s that have been resoled multiple times. The Razorback Steelcap is my default work boot.

I got some and love them. Not so expensive that you mind beating them uo but not so cheap that they're flimsy or poor quality. I replaced their insert with a red wing leather and foam one and they gave me a bit more cushion while still keeping my foot on leather. The boots have enough room that you can also pop in a hiking boot insole like a Super feet or similar. Great boots with nice thick leather.

@JimGreenFootwearOfficial Please dont do like our American boot companies and cheap out and sell out to justin or some other garbage company. Redwing and Chippewa used to be some solid boots, but they sold out and now won't last a walk around the block.

Got a pr for Christmas and they were very comfortable right out of the box. Look very well made and should hold up well.

Coming into this summer I needed a nee pair of works boots. I tried everything from Carhartts (the most comfortable out of the box but questionable quality), Timberland Pros and Keens. I would be using them mostly for landscaping my storage properties primarily. However after watching your video as well as Rose Anvil’s; I decided to try the razorbacks. The quality stood out immediately, on first try they felt sturdy (I have bad ankles and knees this is a must), but pliable. After mulling it over, then replacing the leather insole with my own they felt amazing but needed a little breaking in. Well after three weeks they are really getting almost as comfortable as my Blundstones but much more confident in stability. I could see myself going back packing in these, or using these as my hiking boots when photographing elopements (get quite a few of those in the ADK). They remind me of Danner Mountain Lites but I don’t mine beating the crap out of these. Tomorrow I plan on cleaning the dirt off my Jim Greens and giving it a nice coat of conditioner. Can’t wait for these to really break in.

Thanks. Appreciate the long term review.

I work, trek, and go to town in only one pair of boots, my Razorback by Jim Green. Living in the cooler high Drakensberg, whilst managing a farm, my feet experience every conceivable range of conditions you can think of. Spring with new veld grass wet with recent rain, rushing streams, stables, towing stuck cars from the deep mud on the un-serviced district road, ( When will this service ever happen?), and workshop with oil and grease. High summer, maintaining roads and hiking trails, mowing, gardening, general concrete construction, forestry, and fencing, you name it, it is probably on my list of tasks. Autumn, burning firebreaks and preparing the property for winter, with its cold frost and occasional snow, dry veld fighting runaway fires. then in the same boots after a lick and polish, I go to town once in a while, (one has to, unfortunately) I am happy to walk around, proud to be a countryman in my Razorbacks. The only times I don't wear my Razorbacks are when I shower, and in bed, for obvious reasons, I think. All in all, I wear them because I don't have to think about them. They just become a natural part of me and who I am. Now here is the thing. Right from the go, I will in the future replace the inner sole with a custom sole. My feet and rough lifestyle wear out the factory-fitted fiber sole very quickly. and secondly, I will wear gumboots on the district road in the future. Give these Razorbacks by Jim Green of South Africa a go. I have never been disappointed with them. And another thing, perhaps I will buy two pairs next time round, one for all the hard work, and the other as my "going out" pair, but I will wear my work pair when I have to meet my bank manager. It will show him I'm still strong and hard-working.

I don't mind the thin insole of my vellies. That just gives me an option to choose many (probably in the hundreds) of after market insoles I can buy and get the right amount of support I want. I can easily replace when they wear out. Jim Green offers the solid base/foundation to build ur grail boot and customize it to your tastes.

I'm going to Oregon for Thanksgiving which is being turned into a Camping Thanksgiving. We're gonna be hiking quite a bit around Crater Lake. I'm not a fan of synthetic material hiking boots. Don't get me wrong, they do their job very well, but I would use it for the trip and they would be stored (got hunting boots already), cause wouldn't need them much in the flat lands and concrete jungle of Houston, TX. Saw your video on cheap boots, along with about 10 other videos on a binge, and said "hey, I can break them in at work, wear them in Oregon, and put them in my work boot rotation after I get back...if not I'll give them away around xmas. Well, ordered the brown ones on Amazon, arrived in 2 days, it's been about 1.5 months with them and they are like a glove. Stiff 1st two days, after a week I could wear them all day, after a month they are as comfortable as my LEGENDARY Redwing Irish Setter 83606 which needed no break in at all. You should really check out those Irish Setters, they have a non-aluminum toe too. I did change out the insole for an Easyfeet insole on amazon. After day 1 I used Saphir Renovateur leather conditioner to speed up the break in. Even though I love the laces, I did change them out for DELELE Wave Shape Non Slip Heavy Duty Laces in dark green and coffee. The green laces are eye catching, but slick and the boot's lace rings don't offer friction, so if you like to tie your boots snug or tight forget about it. The Delele laces are slightly wavy...or bumpy, and they give you just enough slip resistance to give you that snug fit, plus the color is a perfect fit with that bit of green in honor of the original laces. I'm a 9.5EE to 10EE in most boots. The 9.5D in these are just right, even after changing the insole. NOTE: The included insole is so thin that just about any other insole you swap it for will reduce the amount of room in the shoe...but there is a lot of room. These are going to sever me well for years to come I believe. I'm even looking at some of their other boot styles by Jim Green, we'll see. I am going to have to waterproof these for my trip, so some oil, snowseal, or something. Followed by a water based waterproofer. Any recomendations? Thanks for introducing me to these boots Carl. Keep up the good work...review some laces, no-tie laces like lock laces are cool, as well as Xpand laces. Not 100% slip on with 6" or higher boots, but I can literally take my boot's on and off in about 8 seconds, and they never untie.

I've added a few Jim Green boots to my daily wear assortment. They are great for the price, from the Vellies to the Stockman and the Razorback I'm a fan.

Looking at some boots for casual wear and another pair for work. Really looking to replace my Irish Setter Marshall soft toe cowboy boots. I work in the fast food industry and am up on my feet up from 8 to sometimes 10 hours a day, would these be the right boot for that or would it be worth the money going for the Thorogood Moctoe or even the White's Perry Moctoe?

I love my Razorbacks. I wear them daily for work (I'm a mostly rural Amazon delivery driver). Super duper comfortable for all-day wear. Even running stairs on the occasions I get stuck doing apartments all day. And, they look so damn good ( my opinion ) I find myself wearing them when not at work even over "nicer" boots.

I find these boots to be almost too wide for me, and I have a wide foot. I agree on the insole. I will be getting inserts to take up the slack as they feel a half size too big. These will be for thick socks only. Which means here in Texas only a winter boot.

I've been looking at Jim Green boots but noticed they only come in one width. You've mentioned before that you have a wide foot, as do I. (I also have fallen arches) Since you rave about the comfort of the Jim Greens, is it safe to assume that they have a roomy toebox?

Hey so I just got a pair and it looks like they did update them with a yellow leather insole now. It's sewn in.

Hey Carl, I got a pair of Razorbacks this past July after seeing your original video. I've worn them a number of times and have stopped wearing them because the toe box is too low. I think if they heightened the toe box it's be killer. Widthwise the toe box is wide enough and the construction is good. I commented on another video about them and the Jim Green rep e mailed me with a few suggestions about my concerns. Maybe I just got an odd man out, although it took three pairs of return until I got a pair that felt ok. But I'm not ready to call it quits yet. Maybe I'll try a pair of Monsters - it looks like they have a higher toe box.Or maybe I'll fly down to SA and get a pair custom made a the factory. More important, I liked your update video.

Hi Carl, what can I do to protect leather boots such as these if my work involves a lot of puddles of nasty water mixed with cement and concrete sludge and mud. I do have a pair of PVC Wellingtons which I use when the puddles are extra deep and when I have to stand in them for a while, but I just do not enjoy wearing PVC Wellingtons all day for driving and stuff. So I'm thinking of getting something like the razorbacks but I worry that the cement might destroy the leather. I currently wear a slip on which is made of fake leather and is non welted. The waterproofness has already been compromised from being wet with cement and dried many many times. Will something like obenhaufs do the trick? Thanks

I consider most all insoles as being cheap throw away items. They are mostly garbage that get replaced before the boot is even worn.

Thanks for getting in touch and interest in Jim Green Footwear, below clears up your concerns on the price jump. World wide products have just got more expensive too but we continue to offer the best boot in the market for the price. Below is a few factors: - We have had 2 wage increases since our first batch of boots arrived in the US - The US Dollar has then depreciated by 20% to the South African Rand making exports more expensive - The cost of shipping has tripled - We have had raw material increases and also now using better quality leather more suitable for wet/snow conditions. - We have also added in a new and improved insert/footbed into our boots (although still old stock in the US with the older option) - and finally when we launched we had our boots priced at a special price, sort of a early bird special All this being said if you can show us a boot that is like like more affordable than us we will match that price

Thank you! In theory these will last me a good many more years.... oops.

In the "Cheap but Great Work boots" video you also mentioned Silverado Boots. Anybody out there try those yet? They look pretty nice.

Yes indeed! Those are okay... but the one thing that bothers me is how far apart the eyelets are. They kind of put pressure on your foot in a weird way, and if they come unlaced they just open right up. I keep mine in my car in case I need a change of footwear.

@@CarlMurawski thanks for the heads-up!

They are $200 now. Still a great boot though.

I'm shopping for boots that will last forever.. lol with my weight they will. I'm South African. So the issue is comfort? This is clearly visiting even by looking at these vs Caterpillars (which are currently on sale but still 3 - 6 hundred rand more than JG). If this is the case I think I should go for them and get inners with 🤔, which they sell as well. Along with oil, and jts still cheaper than Caterpillars

Im a farmer and have a pair of Jim Greens and they can take abuse from drowning them in water and mud and into the cow pens to planters and fertiliser they can take it. I just put in memory foam insoles

Between this review and Rose Anvil cutting them in half I might need to get a pair now

Totally worth it man! There are a couple color options now too.

I’m about to be 3 months in with these boots working mon-fri and they are starting to feel flimsy. Maybe I will upload a video on how mine have worn

Could be. Boots definitely break down faster worn daily, they never really dry out, and basically start to rot Do you use a boot dryer at all? Rotating in another pair would make a huge difference

@@jairocatalan4974 A bit of love, care and rest for the uppers they should last a lot longer. Thanks for the support of the second pair, much appreciated and we always an email away if you need any assistance.

for the price they cant be beat

I Think the Jim Green bushcat boot is a better work boot. Exactly the same as a razorback but lower cut around the ankle for more flexible movement. Especially for those bending down. Razorback is more of a hiker.

Fact they lasted a year was enough for me to buy

I heard the new shipments will have leather midsole at same price. Any truth to this?

I literally just got a pair today off amazon. Its true. They do come with the leather insole.

2yrs on, and my Jim Green boots get more comfortable with each wear.

I bought the Razorback with steel toes. I want the protection.

How does the width run?

Well, if your going to go and listen to your audience, then please review the Limmer standard. You would be the perfect guy for that.

Wow, those look really cool. Terrible website though. Still, I'm intrigued since they are very similar to these Jim Greens in appearance at least.

Carl, do you still wear your red wings?

I occasionally wear my moc toes, and the Iron Rangers come out every now and then, but overall I tend to wear them both less and less.
