When it comes to boots, many brands focus on style but fall short when it comes to practical durability. Jim Green Footwear, based in South Africa, has built its reputation by producing boots designed for people who need them for real work: game rangers, farmers, and outdoor workers who demand strength and reliability.
The Jim Green 719 boot continues that tradition. Available in Black, Bronco Roughout, and Rust Vegetable-Tanned leather, (But there are more with different outsoles too) this model is built with robust materials, repairable construction, and a wide fit designed for comfort. What makes these boots even more interesting is that they come from a company with a strong ethical mission, supporting African game rangers and producing all footwear locally.
Jim Green 719 Boot Overview
The 719 is designed as a general-purpose work and lifestyle boot. It blends rugged materials with a simple silhouette, making it suitable for outdoor work as well as casual daily wear.
Key Features (from official specs)
Upper Construction: Two layers of 2.2 mm full-grain leather (three layers at the toe for added protection)

Last: ASHM Last for comfort and normal D-width
