    Jim Green custom shop

    On my feet. They are fine. There's enough room in their boots for an orthotic insert. I have worn the Razorback and Numzaan in their JG, STC, and ASHM last. My foot is a medium width. The lasts which I have tried had plenty of room to wiggle my toes. My current idea for a...

    Experimenting on foods.

    No NFL. I don't know what to do. For no reason, I made tortillas. My Chinatown Panda Express version of tortilla. It could also be a flat bread. Flour + Water. It was edible.

    Jim Green Numzaan. Worth the sale price. I have 2 pairs. You will have a hard time getting something comparable for $149.

    Jim Green Boots

    Numzaan. Supposed to be the top of their range. Exceptional value at the current sale price of $149. A lot of leather in this boot. I have gotten my money's worth.

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Sole and Heel Repairs

    From what I have seen with Iron Ranger rebuilds, some cobblers add a midsole to the boot. This makes the boot heavier. This makes the boot stiffer, as you will now have to break in the leather midsole to flex with your footsteps. Some cobblers will then add an outsole, and stitch both midsole...

    Jim Green Boots

    You can buy a sole press. It won't take up much space. Just put it in the corner of your room. Bed Bath & Beyond has a basic hydraulic press. You could build a sole press out of it.

    Jim Green Boots

    I own 4 pairs. 2 pairs of Numzaan with the ASHM last. 1 pair of Razorback with the JG last. 1 pair of Razorback Steel Toe with the STC last. I haven't owned them or used them extensively. I haven't owned all of the different boots and shoes that they sell. My experience is limited to my...

    In their natural habitat. Good enough for a stitchdown, steel toe boot, under $100.

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Sole and Heel Repairs

    I prefer the old cork nitrile soles, like on Alden Indy boots.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    From the Dominican Republic factory. Bison. Extremely comfortable. Over a decade old. Still holding up. Vibram mini lug soles are still great. The moc toe stitching was repaired once at the factory. Leather has been oiled.

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Sole and Heel Repairs

    Here in The USA, you can go to any Red Wing store to drop off the boots for a factory resole. That saves a few dollars in shipping. Is that an option where you guys live? A factory resole? The only problem is with the skill level of the local cobbler. There are a lot of shoe...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Leftover fried chicken, corn, and salad lettuce. Anything can be fried rice.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    When I got them, they felt okay. A half size down from my normal Brannock size. It's built on their 65 last. I know from owning another pair built on the 65 last that there's length. A half size down still left plenty of length. I didn't really notice at first, that a half size down was...

    Lunch, Anybody?

    Fried Rice. It's what we do with leftovers. Literally. Leftover rice. Leftover roast beef. Leftover salad.

    Jim Green Boots

    If your place of employment has certain requirements, I would stick to whatever meets those specifications. Jim Green Boots aren't all that great. It's not worth getting hurt.

    55 Last Boot Sizing

    Who owns shoes built on the 55 Last? How was the fit and sizing, compared to your Brannock size? Nick's recommends going a half size down. Frank's recommends going a full size down, and up in width. What do you gentlemen recommend?

    Jim Green Boots

    The darker pair is a steel toe Razorback. It uses the STC last. The lighter pair is a regular pair of Razorback. It uses the JG last. Both are sized to my Brannock device size. My foot measures as a 10D USA. These shoes are USA size 10. You can see from the imprint of my feet on the...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    It's Tuesday. I refuse to own Thursday Boots. I see online how sponsored and paid off content creators like to compare Thursday to Iron Rangers. And I have to wonder who actually believes that Thursday Boots are better than Red Wings.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I don't remember how long I've owned them. I do remember that I didn't need them. I bought them because I liked the screws on the bottom of the lug sole. This is why I don't have any Pacific NorthWest boots. Because I have this cheap boot that looks like a logging boot. I didn't need them...
