The Boot that Puts Boots onto Rangers

50% of Rangers don’t have access to sufficient Boots and Gear
and over 40% are required to purchase their own Boots.
With the future of our wilderness areas in the hands of those with boots on the ground Jim Green Footwear and  The Game Rangers Association of Africa (GRAA) have come together to make sure this issue is addressed.
Inadequate gear for rangers leads to a low morale and effects rangers wellbeing. With Rangers being on the front line of our conservation areas a quality pair of boots is essential for everyday tasks
An addition to the Ranger family with a more robust finish and high ankle support while still prioritising comfort, we introduce the African Ranger 8 inch.
Follow our journey through our social channels or contact us for further information.

FEATURES

  • Manufactured with a double layer of leather (2.2mm full grain leather, lined with 1.6mm calf leather)
  • Double layer of leather aids in the boots water resistant properties (not waterproof)
  • 8-inch height for excellent support, comfort and protection
  • Thermoplastic toe puff and a heel stiffener for extra support
  • A steel shank between the insole board and sole offers extra support and stability
  • Insole board is secured to the upper with a double stitched 2.2mm braided nylon cord
  • Sole is made from a genuine rubber
  • Can be resoled
  • Due to the double layer of leather the AR8 can tackle all kinds of terrain, making it ideal for the outdoor worker or hiker requiring that extra bit of toughness
  • Last: JG (This is a wide fit and offers a snugger feel all around)
  • Sole: JG (This sole is our lug option and is designed for grip. It is a genuine rubber and of a firm feel to provide stability under foot)
  • Laces: 175cm
  • Weight: 1.48kg (Size 8)

Product Care

The best way to preserve your Jim Greens is through regular and correct polishing. 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.
For our leather boots we recommend any natural shoe polish found at your local store. For our suede options we suggest light brushing to remove dirt and a scotchguard for longer protection.
After a long day in wet conditions and you requiring your boots early the next morning, the worst possible solution is to artificially dry your boots. Leather fibres burn easily – especially when wet and therefore should never be left near a heater, placed in your oven or left in direct sunlight. For the best results, footwear should be dried out slowly and never subjected to any extreme heat. Should you work in constantly wet conditions, it is best to alternate between two or more pairs of our Jim Green boots.

SIZE GUIDE

We realise that buying footwear online is a daunting task and we are often asked to recommend a size by new Jim Green customers. If you happen to purchase a pair of Jim Green boots online and they do not fit, we will happily exchange them for you. If the measurements fall in-between the lengths provided, we do offer half sizes on certain styles. We can recommend a size but we can’t guarantee the fit.

  1. DB –

    I was able to get a pair of these special ordered several months back. I wear them for work everyday. They are holding up well and the lug sole has been holding up and is comfortable. I use boot grease on them every couple of months and they still look great. Worth the price. I own a pair of Razors and Vellies too. I wear a 9 1/2 in most shoes. I ordered a 9 1/2 and they firt perfectly. These do have a wide toe box ( Amazing!) So if your foot is very narrow keep that in mind when ordering.

  2. Jeffrey –

    Very good quality boot. Nice stitching, welt, gusseted tongue.
    Light weight and flexible boot.
    Insole is not supportive and the outsole is stiff.
    I recommend adding extra insole for padding.
    True to size even with 2 insoles. Go half size down if you will use 1 insole, due to extra wide toe.
    Soft Toe box is slim. Not bulky like steel toes.
    1 day break in. Has leather lining, so no chaffing.
    There is no pull tab on the heel.
    Good quality compared to the cheap throw away boots at same price.

  3. Joel (verified owner) –

    To be honest these have been the best pair of boots I have ever bought. I originally heard of this company through Rose Anvil and wanting something that could withstand a beating due to the region I live in I purchased these boots thinking they would do the job nicely and boy have they. Never have I had a pair of shoes so reliable and sturdy in my life. These boots have been through rain, snow, shine and mud and still have not failed me.
