Jim Green is a footwear brand from South Africa. All their materials are sourced locally, and they manufacture their hand-made boots right in town—something they’ve been doing for over 25 years. The Jim Green Razorback bootis the company’s hiking boot offering. While many hiking boots on today’s market are glued constructed, often incapable of bein...
The Razorbackhas a few big positives and one major drawback in my opinion. As for the positives: it’s relatively inexpensive given the quality and construction of the boot. Sure, there are minor issues here and there, but overall you’ll be hard pressed to find a boot this solid at this price. The second major positive is that this boot is recraftab...
First Impression
Upon getting the boots in the mail, my first thoughts were that they were packaged nicely in a robust box. There are no shoe bags at this price, but the boots were wrapped in paper to minimize chances of scuffs and bumps in transit. Not that those would matter a whole lot as they are designed to be taken out on the trail and worn hard. The boots I received only had two manufacturing defects. The first was that one of the speedhooks had collapsed on itself. This was easily fixable by slowly pr...
Leather Quality and Care
The leather on the Razorbackis robust and gets the job done. It’s a 2.2mm full grain leather and the inside is lined with a 1.6mm calf leather. This is pretty heavy duty for a hiking boot, and I love the leather lining as that’s going to add a ton of longevity to this boot. The care guide included on the manufacturer’s website is pretty common sense and provides a good care routine to look after the boots: namely to brush them and apply a polish. I’d argue that any leather conditioner or neut...
Sole
I like the sole that’s used on this boot. It’s a locally-made Jim Green-branded rubber sole with a large lug tread that allows the user to capably wear them in rough terrain and inclement weather. The sole is soft enough that it allows sufficient grip while not being too soft to wear out too quickly. One thing to note is that much like other soles with deep lugs/treads, you can anticipate small rocks and dirt clods being tracked in the house with you. I’m not a huge fan of the midsole; it’s n...
The large majority of reviews online have fantastic things to say about the Jim Green Razorback boot. Whether it be reviews on the Jim Green website, YouTube, or Reddit, there are plenty of happy customers that have bought and are wearing the Razorback. The small minority of lower rated reviews seem to be issues with customers not buying the correc...
Vasque Clarion ‘88
The Vasque Clarion ‘88 is more of a “synthetic” alternative to the Jim Green Razorback, and I’m torn between which one I like the most for hiking. The Clarion ‘88 is lighter and features a Gore-Tex lining for waterproofing and has a Vibram XS Trek outsole. Also, I just like the 80s vibe these boots give off. That said, there’s a good deal of nylon webbing, which helps keep the weight down, but is certainly not sturdy like the Jim Green Razorback. The price is roughly the same—the Vasque is a...
