After more than one year of daily wear, camping, hiking, dog walking, mud, rain, snow and zero maintenance — here’s my honest long-term review. After more than a year of real-world use, here is my honest review of the Jim Green African Ranger boots. No sponsorship, no hype – just my experience after about 14 months of daily life, walking, weather, and everything in between. I’m also finally back on this channel after around eight months. I honestly missed you all. More videos are coming soon, including why I’m letting go of some of my boots and which pairs will stay. In this video I talk about comfort, durability, break-in, outsole wear, leather aging, weather resistance, and how the African Ranger handled everyday use. If you’re thinking about buying Jim Green boots or you’re curious how they hold up long-term, this video should help. My conclusion: The African Ranger in Fudge Leather is still one of the best all-round boots I own. Great patina, great comfort, and surprisingly durable — even at 100 kg bodyweight and zero careful treatment.
