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.
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.

I the comfort and the support your boot can offer

Bought 2 pairs in 2012 and had them customized with steel toe cap inserts for site work.
They provided stellar work and leisure service for 8 years of daily use in East Africa and Indonesia.
Only negative is that the steel eyelets rusted but it seems the new version have brass eyelets?
About to visit the factory to order another two pairs!

I like them

Purchased these almost a decade ago, and used them intermittently for hiking. When a metal eyelet pulled out of the moderately used boots, I contacted Jim Green to enquire about a repair. They promptly sent a courier to collect them for assessment, and explained my Monster boots are so old they, apparently, pre-date the current ownership of the company. Hence they would only repair rather than replace them, for free. The perfectly repaired boots were return couriered to me, all their expense.
This is the astounding commitment to customer service I associate with Jim Green.

The best boots ever

I bought my pair in 2005 and the first time I wore them was day one of the Outeniqua Hiking Trail… Never got blisters and have put thousands of kilometers on my boots since then. I resoled them with Jim Green in 2018 and they were as good as new after that. I walk any terrain and through the water with mine and with some love and tender care of the leather there will still be thousands of kilometers left in them. Best investment ever made for hiking boots.

Bought them about a year ago, very happy to have them they are my favorite.
Best regards from Germany

Excellent boot for wearing on an irrigation farm and I also hunt in them as they are very warm.
This also leads to the only downside – they are TOO hot for wearing in summer. I once contacted JIM GREEN to ask if they could make me a pair without the waterproofing liner, but the additional cost they quoted was just too much.
I actually think they are missing a trick here – that shoe will definitely complement the current range and will lead to inceeased sales.
