Good day and great suggestion, we couldn't agree more. We do have plans of the addition of a Barefoot slip on for the range however, for the time being, this is far from completion and being added to our range. Hopefully late 2024 or early 2025🐸💪
@tylerpearson2473 they can't yet. Best they can do is the regular African ranger last without the toe puff. The barefoot is actually a bit wider than the regular African ranger
Just noticed that the Barefoot Stockman is a permanent part of the collection! Very excited! Can I suggest that you show the boots being worn in both your website images and in these videos. Gives a much better sense of the boot, than just showing a new empty pair...
Thx. Ive been looking for a resoleable barefoot chelsea for years. As soon as JG came out with the barefoot ranger and i realized they did custom orders i pounced :) couldnt be happier.
@@JinsKookieJams when i saw the video published i would have sworn they are mine, because i ordered the exact same custom order back in February, but the ones in this video look like size 9 or 10's and thats not me after all.
I was not able to review these boots on the US website, but wow! I have been waiting for this pair of boots to be made by someone for years now. The quality is excellent, the fit is true barefoot, the customer service is phenomenal! I wish one day I visit this factory in South Africa! 10/10 recommend wholeheartedly!
Thanks for the support! We wish you all the best on the Jim Green journey ahead and please do get in touch should you have any questions along the way.
Hello, JG. Have you ever considered doing group buys for custom boots such as these? I ask because in the backpack carry community there are often these groupbuys for customized versions of existing backpacks. Reasoning: it's cheaper and more logistically sound for the manufacturer to produce rather than a one off custom for one person. It's also on average cheaper for the buyer. Granted that's what works for a bagmaker in Asia. Anyways, love your stuff!
@@JimGreenFootwearOfficial gotcha! Sorry for potentially misinforming others, not sure where I got that date from haha. I'll just stay tuned for sometime this year then!
I love these! I have wanted to have them make a barefoot version of your Vellie boots. This is a great idea to do the Stockman boots. You should bring these to market. I would buy them.
Very nice! There's a Chelsea in my future somewhere but I haven't decided, those would be a great standard offering. Those Barefoot Bantam/Shoelies in the background ... must have!!
Oh man, I need one. I got the Barefoot ranger and fell in love with it. It is like a boot slipper. I am curious how a slip on would fit through ans the Barefoot rangers are quite a high-volume boot I imagine these would be the same being on the zero drop last.
Thanks for the interest! We do have plans for a Barefoot Chelsea option in the range however, we cannot put a time period to when we expect this to join the range. We are currently in the process of developing another Barefoot style, keep the eyes peeled 👀💪🐸
I really have been needing a pair of barefoot boots for work. I've looked at it a lot of boots and I think going to wait for your guys's taller lace-up barefoot boots I heard about when do you think you will have them.
I was about to order this exact custom with a different leather. I ordered a stock pair however, as I'm not sure what size I am in it and the sizing guide was 2 sizes off my current size. Hopefully it comes in correct, I'll return and custom order.
I think they're a new upper, some sort of hybrid between a Shoelie and a Bantam on the zero-drop last. They were in the last video too, they're teasing us.
How do Stockmans compare to wearing barefoot ARs unlaced? Or rather, the tied laces tucked in behind the tongue without lacing up the speed hooks? I'll just stick my feet in to do quick errands like running garbage out to the curb, but invariably it feels loose enough that i want to tie them up if I'm wearing them longer. I did go a half size up from my Brannock anticipating thick socks in cold weather, but generally a half size up with regular socks feels fine in the summer and i enjoy the extra space for my toes while the ankles are still nice and tight. Would you need to size down for Stockmans?
and just saying: if you offer more options of colors for the stitching and laces, i bet somebody would love to order a crossover of jim greens and doc martens or jim greens and danners. and barefoot, of course. total rabbit hole of possibilities here.
What is the edge dressing they put on at the very end? I have a pair of Numzaans and I've been wondering how to protect the leather midsole in the rainy season.
i was just going to request to order exactly this one. but i sensed that you are going to make it as a regular offering, therefore, cheaper. am i right?
@@tylerpearson2473agreed. Though, corresponding with them through the process to nail down the specs took me many weeks. Not sure if it was because of holiday season or they don't staff enough folks to answer custom orders...
Good day and great question. We do have plans of the addition of a Barefoot slip on for the range however, for the time being, this is far from completion and being added to our range 🐸💪
@jimgreen how do I get my hands on a pair of these in a men’s size 10 ? All the exact same specifications as this one, except I would like my pair with your natural veg tan leather. I will pay extra! How do I order a customized pair!? Please help me out! So far I have 5 pairs of the Barefoot African Rangers in almost all different leathers, but I would absolutely love a Barefoot Chelsea. Please make my dream come true! Much love. ❤ Mikey
Good day Mikey! Thanks for the interest. We would recommend placing the order through our custom boot builder located on our online store. Should you be unsure with the steps please do get in touch and we shall gladly assist in getting the correct pair of boots in your hands and on your feet 💪🐸
Need to bring these to market think they would be popular
Agreed, I got a pair of the barefoot rangers as work/chore boots and I'd happily get a pair of these as well

@@JimGreenFootwearOfficialyes!! Please! 🙏🏻
Preorders on the site, looks like delivery by November
Getting my barefoot stockies in the mail today, my feet are excited as twins on Christmas morning
These should be a normal stocked option. I would def get a pair.
I love the barefoot last, but i need a wedge sole with it, that extra width in the toe box makes such a big difference
They can do that for you
@tylerpearson2473 they can't yet. Best they can do is the regular African ranger last without the toe puff. The barefoot is actually a bit wider than the regular African ranger
100%. I would buy two different colors for this combo - the wedge + wider last
Honestly barefoot and Chelsea boots is a dream combo. Perfect shoes to slip on for quick trips anywhere.

Many barefoot shoe companies have tried to make a Chelsea boot, these look the best by far.
And they are pretty much the only resoleable barefoot chelsea on the market. Dream boot
WOW i did not know i wanted a barefoot chelsea until now, looks great!
I’d love these to become regularly stocked. I’d buy them. Currently wearing the barefoot rangers and love them.
We do have plans to make this a stock item however, we do not expect this to be available anytime soon. 💪
Preorders on the site claimed delivery by November
Fantastic boots! 😀I would love to buy if they will be available as a stock item. I really love my African Ranger Barefoots and wear them every day 🙂
Very excited for my custom composite toe ar8s to come. Love seeing the custom boot builds.
Love my custom Jim Green barefoot Chelsea boots
Do you have a toe puff / do you wish you did or didn't get it?
Thanks for the support! We wish you all the best on the Jim Green journey ahead and please do get in touch should you have any questions along the way.
Just ordered one of these in black! Can’t wait !
Would be awesome to see more barefoot options in the other models too! Love My Jim Greens
I've been wearing a pair of barefoor rangers for about a month and will buy a pair of these as soon as they're available.

$30 extra to make a custom. It is an additional $40 for shipping to US, but you'd never get around that since they're in South Africa.
In their video about their custom works, and in another video about unknown models, they mention making runs for companies.
I'd buy these in houston green. Would make for a great barefoot boot suitable for welding/machining that sort of thing.
Beautiful boots. Any idea on when we can expect the new AR8 barefoot?
I think they said sometime around August!
Good day! We do not have a date for our 8 Inch Barefoot boot as of the moment, we are aiming to release this boot in 2024 💪

Love that the sole is called 'Anvil' Sole!!!
It makes the proportions of the boot sm better with the flat sole, sign me up id buy one
Put these as a permanent pair now! 👍🏻👍🏻

Any plans for a non metallic safety toe on the razorback?

Ive ordered a pair of custom razorback with walnut veg tan leather. Do you think this will be a strong enough leather for construction?
How long does it take to get a custom order from Jim Green? I ordered them 27 days ago.
These are so amazing you should production line them
what is the reason, purpose, or benefit of goin without the toe stiffener ?

Can you guys make these Chelsea boots in Houston black color??!!

Need other soles availabe with the barefoot last.
I bet they can
@@tylerpearson2473 not yet, hopefully they will though
They have one they use on the Baobab that is pretty much a Vibram Kletterlift. That sole on their barefoots would be killer imo.
Square/footshaped > round/pointy 🤦
*I actually like it. Because pointy is really tight on my feet. So there's that benefit for some people like me 😊!*
