Tough as Africa – built to last

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. Its double layer of leather upper combines with a pure rubber sole to give you superior stability, comfort and grip.
For over 25 years, the Jim Green Razorback has been the choice of South Africa’s’ safari lodges and outdoor enthusiast. Famous for its never say die attitude and respected for its durability. No other boot is more versatile, from mountain tops to factory floors, the Razorback is ready for any challenge.
Mile after mile, year after year, the Razorback, an old friend you can always count on to get you from here to there in rugged comfort.

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)
  • Ankle padding 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 Razorback can tackle all kinds of terrain, making it ideal for the outdoor worker or hiker requiring that extra bit of toughness

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.
