The first morning of wear was for 3 mile to include a meadow, trail and gravel. The meadow was heavy with dew and my feet stayed dry. They did well on larger gravel and just fine on the trail. The insole did not provide much support, I will need to add supports (normal for my feet).Evening trail was made up of sand, fine silt, mud and uneven ground. I added a pair of Valsole planter fasciitis inserts which helped. Another 3 mile and the boots preformed well. I will note that these boots do need a break in period. I would not want to use them on a longer hike the first day. Common for thicker leather boots.I purchased these as a second pair of hiking boots so I can alternate boots. The first pair are Vasque which are 20 years old and on their 3 sole. The new boots will get about 10 miles every other day.Sizing - I normally wear a 9M for athletic shoes and keen boots. Work boots are normally 8.5 E.For the Jim Green’s a 9 fit correctly. The toe box is more like a clog with plenty of space for the toes to spread out. This was a pleasant surprise that I did not pick up on it in the photos.The leather is thicker than I was expecting. A check on their website says 2.2 mm full grain with 1.6 mm calves leather on the inside. Smooth surface with a rougher texture on the inside to allow some grip with the socks to prevent the heel from slipping.The sole is a larger lug which appears and feels like it is hard enough to last with enough softness to grip. At first I thought it to be a Vibram but it has the Jim Green logo. A check on their web site showed it is produced by Jim Green.I purchased this boot because it could be re-crafted. I was surprised when the boot arrived to see that it had a Goodyear welt. The speed hooks and eyelets used are heavier duty so they should not give any problems. The tongue and ankle have padded leather.The insole does not offer much support. Not that big of a deal as I normally use a support insole in my hiking boots anyway.These boots will require a break in period. I would not pick these to go on a long hike the first time out.Overall this appears to be a well crafted boot that should last many years for less than $200. I had been using Keens my second boot, but they only lasted 8 months at $130 and were never water resistant. I am not sure about the green laces, but will keep them to see if they grow on me.

They take some breaking in, but it's a solid well constructed boot. Wide fit. Real leather insoles and real rubber treads. Goodyear welt, so able to have the sole replaced. Great boots.

This is my third pair of Jim Greens. Like the others, it has high quality leather, excellent construction for this price level, and supreme comfort. Brand new so can’t speak to long term durability yet. The sole is pretty stiff as new, but expect it will get more flexible with wear. Listed as running small, so I got a 9 .5 rather than my normal 9, and fit was perfect. Better to err on the slightly larger size, as the full lacing allows cinching up tight for a custom fit, and thicker socks are normally worn with type boot. It is a wider boot, particularly in the toe box compared to normal D width, but that room is part of what adds to the comfort. While it looks very wide to the wearer looking down at them while on, observers do not really notice the wideness. My wife gave them a big thumbs up when I tried on for her. The insole provided is nothing fancy, but fine for the price. It’s removable, so you can add fancy cushioned orthotic insoles if you wish. It’s not a low profile boot, especially with the bright green laces, but they look great with jeans/ outdoor wear. Similar to old style alpine hiking boots, but much softer and more comfortable. Can’t beat value for price.

Me gustaron bastante. Aquellos que han oído de Jim Green y del modelo Razorback tendrán una idea: son bastante amplios a lo ancho del pie, lo que los hace ver casi cómo las patas de un pato pero la verdad me gusta el estilo lo suficiente cómo para ignorar eso, la ventaja ens que son bastantes cómodos para los que tenemos pies anchos y tenemos qué lidiar con zapatos usualmente medio número más largo. Es una buena idea que la talla venga en centímetros en la publicación porque ahorra mucho labconversión de UK, US y MX. Sin embargo la gente con un pie más estándar o incluso delgado tendrán que ver si no les queda demasiado espacio en la parte de los dedos. También recomiendo ponerles unas plantillas porque los zapatos si bien traen tiene cero soporte y enseguida puedes sentir la suela y el terreno por el que andas, lo cual podría ser algo bueno o malo dependiendo en el tipo de terreno que andas (urbano, piso de interior, o terreno suelto y pedregoso). El modelo en Fudge Crazy Horse me encanta, el color y la textura de la piel, pienso que estas y las African Ranger lucen de lo mejor en este tipo de piel, ojo, yo les doy un uso más casual, así que los otros tipos de piel podrían ajustarse mejor a las necesidades de quienes las adquiere.
