Be forewarned. The Numzaan is thick, heavy, and a hard break in. Your feet will hurt. My personal experience is that Jim Green leather really likes mink oil. Apply several coats of oil when the boot is new. It will help soften the leather for breaking in. Then add a few coats of wax polish to help bead of moisture.
I'm familiar with that from breaking in my PNW Logger boots; I'm sure the double-layer of leather (which Jim Green calls "Double Lasted") makes the Numzaan even harder to break in, but it also makes it insanely durable. I used coconut oil for the logger boots break-in and it worked great. Waterproofing not really an issue with that pair.
Forgot to mention that the Double Lasted (2 Complete Layers of Leather) is WARMER, just a natural consequence of having two layers of leather and a glue layer in between (which clogs some of the pores in the leather).

Great review! Do they come with an removeable insole? Have a great day!
Yes, they come with Jim Green one which you can replace with a reasonably thick 3rd party insole if you like.
