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. Brad E (verified owner) –

    What a bargain!! Super comfortable true to size (added Dr scholls insert under original insole to take up some space for my narrow 12.5 foot)
    Breakin is pretty quick and the quality of construction is unmatched at this price!
    Bought both colors in this style and they were of all the same top quality of build!!

    These are very durable and “tough as nails”! The craftsmanship is unmatched in this price range and they easily compare to boots twice their price!!!

  2. Avery LaBelle (verified owner) –

    I bought both colors, one in a 12 and one in 12 1/2 , I use the 12 for working (I like a snug fit on ladders and on the job) and 12 1/2 for hiking and long days on varied terrain.
    I have a wide (4e foot) I usually buy a 13w in Danner, and a 13w in wolverine….. for a reference. In most tennis shoes I’m a 13 or 13w.

    Also these are amazing, I can’t wait for the rest of the styles to come to the US!

    I ran across these boots while watching a review on YouTube and decided I would give them a try. I ordered too small and should’ve just ordered my usual size, 12D. I contacted Gareth from Jim Green and he was very helpful, and getting a return done and the right size to me was easy and fast. These boots are well made and although I am used to a good year welted boot I do like the stitch down construction of these boots (they can be re-soled). I like that the company is proudly South African, and the quality of the boots is very good at this price point. They fit well and are very comfortable to wear, once you get better insoles, which is my only complaint with these boots. I had read some mention of this before I made my purchase and thought I’d try them out with the original insoles. They just weren’t comfortable until I replaced them. Now I am very pleased with my boots and they are breaking in nicely. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another pair of Jim Green boots in the future.

    Having already purchased two pairs of vellies and loving the heck out of them, I ordered the Razorbacks, and I’ve had them about a month and a half. These are excellent boots. They’re taking a while to wear in. I’ve not switched out the footbeds because I’ve faith that in time they will mold to my feet same as with my vellies (which are extremely comfortable). I did notice that they seemed just a smidge shorter inside than the vellies, but that is probably because of the lining. I went with size 10.5 and they’ll do fine. As was the case with my leather vellies they did get some bumpy salt marks after getting wet, but this is just part of the break in. With applications of polish and obenaufs/huberds they smooth back out again. Mine are developing a lovely patina. For the price they’re an amazing deal. Very well made and sturdy and the soles are great. I really like their overall styling as well. I’m hoping that Jim Green will take off here in the states and that other styles and models will soon be available on this site.

  5. Tom Gates –

    Razorbacks’ lower interior leather is not smooth and is joined right at the ankle bone causing chafing on that bone. I’ll give them a few more days breaking in, but if pain continues, they are going back. Otherwise, boots are fine and appear to be high quality. This is the 1st time I’ve had an issue like this with any of the dozens of boots purchased over the years.

  6. DB (verified owner) –

    I ordered the Vellie (dark brown) and Razorback (Tan). I ordered a size 10 but required a half size smaller. Both styles fit very similar and you can confidently order the same size in each style once you know your size. The leather is thick and very high quality. I initiated an exchange for size. I was contacted by customer service and the exchange was super smooth. A individual named Gareth contacted me, it is very obvious they care about their customers. Thank you Gareth for your help.

    The style is quite unique with a classic design that will never go our of style. I imagine these will look better with age as the leather develops a nice patina. Buy them, you will love them.

    🇺🇸 I own two pairs of 10 1/2 razor back. Perfect booch very little break in time these are my winter boots here in New England. I just wear two pairs of wool socks and I have no problems with the cold. Perfect boots thank you

  8. Orrin (verified owner) –

    I have worn the tan razorbacks for about a year at work, and I love them. I build ropes courses and zip lines which can be really hard on footwear. These boots are comfortable, durable, and the tread has great grip. I have problems with heel pain, after years of skateboarding, so I have had to add an additional thin foam insole on top of the original one, to help with impact and long days. I have a narrow foot. I have to cinch most shoes down, and some shoe brands are just too wide for my feet. However, the razorbacks still fit me well with proper lacing. They are also true to size, if you ask me. I wear a US 12 in almost every brand.
    I have put these boots to the test. They hold up and protect when walking on cables, dragging them across and rolling telephone poles, and even when slamming them against zip lines to emergency brake. I have worn these boots to work for a week in Arizona and then on a 10 mile after work hike in the desert. These boots have been in knee deep mud in Alaska, gotten horribly gross and moldy, and then have been washed, broken back in and are still going strong.
    Highly recommend.
