FS Jim Green Custom Turbo Vellies
Hey all, I'm reposting since they didn't sell last month. I am looking to sell my new custom Turbo Vellies in the AnatomX last and Bronco Russet leather. They are size 10.5 US. They are very high quality and will look fantastic when broken in, but they are a bit too big for me unfortunately so I'm looking to sell them. They are double lasted and have double stitching on the uppers. I only wore them around the house to get a feel for the fit so pretty much new. I paid about $350 total for them and had to wait over 2 months. I'm asking $275 for them, let me know if you are interested! I can answer any questions you may have.

New Shoellies take 2
Got custom shoellies a few months back as my first shoellies, they're my "formal" shoes, so needed a more casual version. Houston brown, barefoot shoellie. Real comfortable out of the box already. More so than my customs as these are single lasted so less break in.

Opinion Ashm last needs refinement in heel
Personally I dont need anything wider than the ashm last and I like the narrower look over the other options.. I own a pair of razorbacks and a pair of vellies.
The razorback fit has been fine broken in but the heel in the vellies have never been all that secure since its a shorter design. even after broken in.. if you look at the different lasts it seems like they all have the exact same heel shape with just the forefoot narrowing.
On the narrow chance (pun intended) someone from JIm green sees this! Please consider refining the heel design on your shoes. Most sneakers have good heel design and the bennefits with jim green is more width elsewhere! If these had just a bit more support to secure the heel the ashm last would be absolutely perfect. I CANT BE THE only one who notices this, if you agree please upvote or leave opinions below

AR8s at the cliffside
Purchased my Bronco tyre wedge AR8s back in March and they quickly became my go to pair of hikers.
Things I love.
the extra ankle support and lacing options the extra shaft height offers
the JG last is really accommodating for my high volume foot
The double last really protected my ankles from bumps and scraps against rocks
I really love how comfortable yet grippy the tyre wedge is
The only criticism I have is
the JG last is definitely wider, but not tall enough for my high volume instep
The water resistance is lacking, I know the poly woven isn't advertised to be water resistant, but I was able to get moderate success melting snoseal on the inside of the boots and progressively rubbing beeswax into the midsole

New work boots
I don’t need some of the features these beasts have (I am a hospital worker), but I appreciate them anyways. Needed something with a lot of support and pretty much wear their boots for everything else these days and with plantar and ankle problems in one foot these have been nice so far. I imagine they’ll get nicer even broken in and with some soft insoles.

BFARs, Stockman or Workhorse?
Hey guys!
I'm thinking about getting some JGs, but I cant decide on which ones. I want some barefoot boots as my main pair of shoes for aproximaetly 7 months a year. I love the BF stockmans but I fear that my feet instep and ankle are too narrow for it, so maybe something with laces is better?
Since I cannot try them on beforehand, any tips or recommendations?
Thanks!

Did I make a mistake?
I recently browse the EU version of the website and couldn't find any black AnatomX Barefoot African Rangers for work, so I bought the normal Barefoot African Ranger. I prefer wide toe box but it wasn't available currently and I do not know when they will restock. I was in a rush to get for work before mid fall/ winter.
For people who have both, are the differences life changing?
