The Boot that Puts Boots onto Rangers

Each year hundreds of buffalo are removed from our local reserves for diseases and population control measures, with everything on the animal being utilized but the skin we decided something needed to be done.

We sent out a skinning and salting team into a conservancy (logistical nightmare) to gather and prepare these skins for our tannery.

These skins were purchased from the reserve, raising much needed funds for a by-product that would have been disposed of.

Not only do we raise funds for the reserve by purchasing the skins but we will also through the sale of the boots donate a bunch of boots to rangers in need through our Boots for Rangers Program.

A full circle process from start to finish.

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

We put out a survey to Rangers from Across Africa and from that pulled together various focus points as to what is needed in the ultimate all round Ranger Boot. From that we give to you the African Ranger – A Boot Designed By Rangers For Rangers

NB: Due to the extreme conditions African Buffalo live in, the leather will vary from pair to pair, every boot will have a unique texture and look to it. The product images used show the difference between what you can get.

Longer break in period compared to the original leathers we use as African Buffalo skin is very tough and rugged

3 main focus areas: comfort, durability and affordable price
2.2 mm full grain leather for added durability
Double layer leather at heel and toe against increased abrasion
Heel and Toe stiffeners between leather layer for added stability
Soft leather collar and tongue for comfort and weight reduction
Steel shank between the insole board and sole for extra support and stability
Single lasted stitch down construction, can be easily resoled
Double stitched assembly with 2.2 mm braided nylon cord
OR sole: genuine rubber wedge sole for best grip, comfort and speed on sandy areas, longer days on foot, speed hikes and urban areas.
Softer rubber compound (shore hardness 55-65) keeps the Ranger quiet when walking through the African bush
Heavy-duty hooks and eyelets to secure feet

Great boot, great back story.

I heard about these boots randomly and so glad i found an EU supply, who are very helpful when pre-order via email.

Looks wise my boots are not a characterful as some on the toebox but are on the heel, it a bit luck if the draw given the materials. I think the boot is smart enough to be worn anywhere and not just in the bush but also in town.The workmanship on the boot is good and looks/feels robust it very much fit for purpose but not top top quality, which imo would look out of place. The beak in period has been less than expected but I have been wearing them day to day rather than hiking. The boot have given no pressure point issues after the first couple of hours of wear, I found it tight at the lacing point due to eyelet support double leather and stitching. This was not present the next day. Overall I looking forward to many adventures with these boots.
