Introducing the New 'Chief' to our Range – The Numzaan Boot.
We’ve listened to our customers and are thrilled to bring you the Numzaan boot – crafted with the Jim Green touch for top quality, comfort, and formality on every occasion.
Derived from the Zulu word 'Numzaan,' meaning the head of a family or a leader, we proudly present the Numzaan boot as the distinguished 'Chief' in our collection. Inspired by our Baobab boot, it projects a heritage feel and features our new Veg Tan leather, making it our most stylish boot to date.
You may want to sit down for this one as there are a lot of specs to run through. The Numzaan boot boasts a double lasted upper (2.2mm lined with 1.2mm calfskin) and is finished off with a genuine toe cap, making this boot sport over 5mm of leather around the toes. The Heel and toe area is also reinforced with thermoplastic toe puffs for added support. This is paired with an ankle-high lace-up system and bellows tongue.
The unique facing pattern allows for less lace pressure for those days when the boots need some added tightening. We’ve gone the extra mile by incorporating a leather lasting board, leather midsole, and a resin runner (totaling over 8mm of leather) that will gradually mold to the shape of your feet.
Discover the unparalleled elegance and comfort of the Numzaan boot – a true leader in our range!

These skins were purchased from the reserve, raising much-needed funds for a by-product that would have been disposed of.
Not only do we raise funds for the reserve by purchasing the skins, but we will also, through the sale of the boots, donate a bunch of boots to rangers in need through our…
