Jim Green
Barefoot brand from South Africa, founded 1992.
Jim Green has been handcrafting leather boots, vellies and shoes in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa since 1992, mostly for hiking, work and everyday wear. I'd look at their Barefoot Boots, like the African Ranger and Razorback, which use a zero drop, 3E wide last with a roomy toe box. The rest of the range is conventional footwear, with a small ladies section, and they offer a resoling service.
Specialities: boots, leather, wide fit, hiking, resoleable
How Jim Green fits
rounded toe box, wide width, mixed volume
I'd say these suit wide feet best. The Vellie and Monster have roomy, rounded toes, while the Bushcat and 4x4 feel snugger, so try your usual size first and go up half a size only for thick socks or very wide feet.
