The Barefoot Trooper Boot: Comfort Meets Rugged Durability
Introducing the new Barefoot Trooper boot, a collaboration between Jim Green Footwear and Rose Anvil. A newly designed boot that combines the natural movement and comfort of barefoot footwear with the added support, protection, and versatility needed for demanding outdoor activities. This collaboration not only brings together the history of Jim Green and knowledge of Rose Anvil but also the traditions of American and South African boot-making techniques.
The Barefoot African Trooper boot combines the natural comfort of barefoot-style footwear with the durability essential for everyday tasks in challenging environments. Its sturdy design and high ankle support provide necessary protection, while the flexible sole and spacious toe box allow your feet to move naturally and comfortably.
The flexible sole mimics the natural movement of your foot, providing a new level of comfort and freedom, while the thin soles improve the natural ground feel, giving you better traction and control. The spacious toe box ensures that your toes can spread out naturally, reducing discomfort and allowing for better stability.

The best way to preserve your Jim Greens is through regular and correct polishing. Water, heat and wear remove the natural oil from the leather, so when the tiny fibres dry out they become hard, brittle and break easily, thereby shorten the life of the leather.
For our leather boots we recommend any natural shoe polish found at your local store. For our suede options we suggest light brushing to remove dirt and a scotchguard for longer protection.
After a long day in wet conditions and you requiring your boots early the next morning, the worst possible solution is to artificially dry your boots. Leather fibres burn easily – especially when wet and therefore should never be left near a heater, placed in your oven or left in direct sunlight. For the best results, footwear should be dried out slowly and never subjected to any extreme heat. Should you work in constantly wet conditions, it is best to alternate between two or more pairs of our Jim Green boots.
We realise that buying footwear online is a daunting task and we are often asked to recommend a size by new Jim Green customers. If you happen to purchase a pair of Jim Green boots online and they do not fit, we will happily exchange them for you. If the measurements fall in-between the lengths provided, we do offer half sizes on certain styles. We can recommend a size but we can’t guarantee the fit.
