African Huntin Boots

I bought a pair of Jim Greeen 8 inch boots and used them in Zim in July loved them. Recently bought off of ebay a pair of Jim Green Razorbacks with the ranger sole. I really like them and they will be my backup for my hunt in Bots in a few weeks. Still like the 8 inch boots better
 
I have 3 pairs of Jim Green African Ranger boots and although I really like Courtney boots, I find the JGs far more comfortable, lighter, and quieter. I do wear a good arch supporting insoles in all my shoes and this is a MUST for me.
Nothing matches the durability and toughness of the Courtney tire tread but they are also heavy.
I guess everything is a trade off. Lighter, quieter, and more comfortable boot like the AR - BUT - less durable and impenetrable sole like the Courtney.
I have worn one pair of African Rangers 3-4 days a week for nearly 2 years and give zero complaints. About 6 months ago I bought a pair for nicer occasions. 3 weeks ago I bought a pair of the A Ranger “barefoot” boots and they are my absolute favorites; immediately comfortable and felt broken in like old shoes.
After 2 yrs wearing the JG ARs, I RARELY put on my other boots and don’t see that changing unless JG does something stupid like discontinuing them :)
