So I got these Razorbacks about two months ago and have been loving them ever since then. They're the tan model and were on sale for around $145 USD. I wear them once or twice a week and they've been on many dog walks and a few bikes already, although they'll go on much more once the PNW rain season eases up. 

So far these have been fantastic boots. The break in was pretty light, although I did jump the gun and take them for a ~3 mile walk within the first day or two and with the stock insoles. Ended up with nasty blisters on my heels and immediately ordered some thin Spenco insoles to replace the stock ones. But that's obviously on me (and I tend to do that with all new boots because I get impatient lol). 

After another week or two I took them on a longer true hike and they held up great. The leather is very comfortable and conformed to my feet quickly. They're comfortable walking in with the new insoles, and the lugs (yellow label) are excellent for dirt, mud and rocks. The only tradeoff is since they're the harder lug soles, they are a bit slippery on wet cement. But that's easy to adjust for.

As for sizing, I highly recommend you follow the Jim Green sizing. I fell in between 11.5 and 12 and went with the 12 and the fit is fantastic. An 11.5 would have likely fit great too but the extra toe room was what I needed in a hiking boot since my right pinky toe rubs on most boots.

After two months the leather seems to be darkening into a nice reddish brown instead of the brighter orange brown it had originally. I really like how they looked then and now, so no complaints and I'm excited to see how they keep changing with time.

These are going to be my go-to hiking and camping boots, but they also are really comfortable for city use and people do notice them in a good way. I may make another post at the end of summer for a good patina comparison. 

Very happy with these Jim Greens and will very likely buy more in the future! Maybe some RATs!
