Embrace Nature with the African Ranger Barefoot Boot

The African Ranger Barefoot Boot is all about keeping things natural and comfy for your feet. It’s like giving your feet a smooth ride on level ground. Plus, there’s lots of space up front in the toe area, so your big toe and pinkie toe can spread out without feeling squished against the sides. These boots are like your foot’s best friend ā€“ they’re super flexible and can bend and twist just like your foot would. The soles are thin, so you can feel the ground beneath you better. Going barefoot-style is where the magic happens. No need to worry about springs in your toes or fancy arch support. These boots let your feet do their thing naturally. So, if you’re all about comfy, flexible, and feet-happy footwear, the barefoot boot is where it’s at!

  • The boot is designed with 3 main focus areas: Comfort and Durability while at an Affordable price.
  • The Anvil sole is designed to mimic the feel of walking any terrain barefoot, while giving you extra grip and protection.
  • The Toe, Heel and Eyelet area are manufactured with a double layer of 2.2mm Nubuck leather for added durability.
  • The Heel stiffener is built in for ankle support and protection.
  • The soft leather collar and tongue for comfort and weight reduction.
  • NO STEEL SHANK.
  • A leather midsole for added comfort, flexibility, and feel under foot.
  • The heavy-duty speed hooks and eyelets to help secure your feet.
  • The leather midsole is secured to the upper with a double stitched 2.2mm braided nylon cord.
  • As with all our boots, these can be resoled due to their double stitch down construction.
  • Our Barefoot boots come with a built-in leather half sock/insert. They do not come standard with a leather insert/footbed.
  • Barefoot Zero Drop last ā€“ This last has a 3E wide fit and offers a zero drop fit with a spacious toe box (This offers a wide fit and extra room that allows for a more natural barefoot experience).
  • Weight: 1.12 (Size 8 UK).
  • Laces: 120 cm.

    Quite possibly the best shoe I’ve ever owned.

    The weight of your average sneaker, the protection of a boot. Bought some extra sets of flat laces (125ish cm on the size 12.5) so I can mix and match with whatever I’m wearing.

    Also, if you’re a martial artist, this is the shoe you’re seeking. The wider toebox to fully articulate my feet is a great help for training outside, and the amount of feedback I can pick up from the ground in each step is great for feeling connected to the earth.

    On the whole a nice boot, ruggedly built, very affordable, with a very good, true to size fit. I was hoping to really love them, but I did run into some potential quality control issues in the pair I received.

    On receiving the boot I noticed some stray glue marks, on one of the heels and one of the toe covers, but they were inconspicuous enough that they didnā€™t bother me too much. Unfortunately in my limited wear-in period the right-hand toecap quickly developed moderately deep, striated wrinkles, that look somewhat unsightly when the light hits them in the wrong way. Generally Iā€™m fine with marks and patina, but the level of wrinkling surprised me, and Iā€™m assuming this will get more pronounced over time. This isnā€™t a big deal if youā€™re main goal is hiking and outdoor work where looks are less of a concern, but Iā€™d been hoping to use them in causal settings as well.

    I tried emailed Jim Green with photos, asking for some care advice, but didnā€™t hear back. Iā€™ve since attempted to use some nubuck conditioner to soften the wrinkles, but my efforts havenā€™t been that successful. Iā€™ve been contemplating maybe trying to use some dubbin (or something similar) to re-hydrate and condition the leather, but thatā€™s a more invasive step and will change its properties significantly.

    All that said, Iā€™m still expecting to get good use out of them, and for the money theyā€™re hard to beat. I really hope Jim Green continues to make barefoot boots like these and shipping them to Australia. Iā€™m still contemplating picking up a Houston brown pair, as they seem really nice too. Hopefully Iā€™ll have better luck with them!

    Amazing boots, everything good said about them is true, the only thing better than the boots was the service. I accidentally ordered the wrong size, the team allowed me to send my boots back and get my actual size for no cost when it was completely my fault.

    Amazing! Such high quality materials. They give a real barefoot feel but with added toughness. Barefoot shoes are notoriously fragile, but not these beauties. Perfect work boots or hiking boot for those needing the toe room and barefoot style but also looking for quality and toughness. Cannot recommend more.
