Jim Green Men's Razorback Boots Lace-Up Water Resistant Full Grain Leather Work or Hiking Boot
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
I heard a lot of good things about this boot and this company so I bought a pair to replace my work boots. For over 30 years, the Jim Green Razorback has been the choice of South Africa’s’ safari lodges and outdoor enthusiast. The classic full-grain leather boot with stitched-on midsoles is, to me, synonymous with old-school adventure and exploration.
the stitching is neat, the trimming and finishing on the sole is well done, and the leather has a nice finish.Water, heat and wear remove the natural oil from the leather, so when the tiny fibres dry out they become hard, brittle and break easily, thereby shorten the life of the leather. I’d recommend wearing thick socks during break-in and wear for short walks before going on any long adventures to start. I bought this boot following an online review, I had to wait a bit for my size (11) to be available but the wait was worth it.
Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.With hundreds of miles on asphalt, concrete, dirt and rocks I expect I’ll get another five years before these need resoling. last pair of brasher boots i had lasted 8 years and they got a lot of abuse still have them now but in retirement as the sole is very worn and leather has a few cuts in it. There is a lot of for and against arguments for neatsfoot oil especially where new boots are concerned.
Now for the quilts control when i looked at the shoes there was missing rubber on the soles, the thread for the welt had lose parts in at least 2 or 3 places, to be honest it is so bad i wont be surprised if the first time it rains my feet get soaked and i have to replace the soles in a few months. All I do is brush them, clean with saddle soap then use a leather treatment and they still look fantastic. I have a pair of Gronell leather boots and they are four years old and have been everywhere and in all weathers and they have never let me down. As always, the waterproofing or water-resistance of a boot is worthless unless you’re wearing waterproof pants.A full leather boot that promises years of use and can easily be resoled – that’s a lot of boot for your buck. mm braided nylon cordOR sole: genuine rubber wedge sole for best grip, comfort and speed on sandy areas, longer days on foot, speed hikes and urban areas. This is not a light boot, but to paraphrase a line by “Boris The Blade” from the movie Snatch, the reliability is in the weight. I collect many boots and saw my favorite YouTube Rose Anvil give a quick review of one of their other boots and I wanted to give them a try. Today, 15 years later I rediscovered the brand and purchased a pair of Razorbacks and what an absolute joy its been!
My boots are too new with the factory finish to take the wax right now, so tried it on my misses boots which where gagging for a feed.The Jim Green Razorback boot is inspired by Africa, designed to take on the daily outdoor and work challenges that come with the harsh terrain. They are initially quite stiff, due to the fairly thick double layer construction and the heavy rubber unit lug sole, but soften up after a few weeks of casual wear, and a few short hikes. Although my left pinky toe was stubbed really badly a couple of weeks ago, these cradle the tender spot smoothly.
