A celebration of 30 years of Boot Making
We wanted to create something unique, something with added comfort, and something for everyone, while still keeping our Jim Green touch.
The Baobab Boot is inspired by the functional appeal of our two best sellers, the Razorback and African Ranger. The durable single piece vamp from our Razorback combines with the lace-up system of our African Ranger, to give you a combination like no other that will hold up on any adventure and withstand daily wear.
We combine this with a more narrow last, although don’t let the look fool you, as this fit still caters for those with a wider foot. The good news doesn’t end there: we have added in a leather lasting board that will gradually take to the shape of your feet and add that extra comfort and durability as time goes on. This combines with a Mini Lug and moulded EVA sole combination, taking the comfort of this boot to another level while still offering the ruggedness of a rubber sole.
Just like the ancient Baobab Trees of Africa, that have stood for thousands of years, we see this boot cementing its roots onto our range and becoming another legend of the range.
Manufactured with a double layer of leather (2.2mm Nubuck leather, lined with 1.6mm calf leather).
Double layer of leather aids in the boots’ water-resistant properties (not waterproof).
Thermoplastic toe puff and a heel stiffener for extra support.
A steel shank between the insole board and sole offers extra support and stability.
Insole board is secured to the upper with a double-stitched 2.2mm braided nylon cord.
Leather lasting board that can mold to your feet for added comfort.
Stitch down construction – Can be resoled.
ASHM last – This is a deceivingly narrow in look last but still offers the traditional D width wide fit with a slightly tapered toe box.
Sole: ML (This sole is designed for a combination of grip, comfort, and speed. It is genuine rubber with an EVA wedge to provide comfort underfoot).
Laces: 175 cm.…
