what size do I have?
- Stand vertically on a piece of paper and trace your feet. Then measure the maximum length in cm and determine your UK size
- Please do not add anything to this. Yes, your foot needs some space because the foot moves in the shoe as it rolls. This has already been taken into account in the table when converting.
- If you have wide feet, you don't need to add anything, as almost all Jim Green shoes are already wide. Wide width EE (almost all Jim Green models). Normal width D (e.g. Shoellie, Baobab, Numzaan) .
- Please call us if you have any doubts. Shop with peace of mind as you can exchange your size at any time.

Customer Reviews
I received a defective pair, when trying to contact the company via email (I sent them pictures of the fault), they are unable to respond, despite multiple emails sent. Also I had a pre order of another pair that I WANTED TO CANCEL, they don't respond either. Do not ever order from them.
Passen wie für mich gemacht 😁😁
Super verarbeitet 😊😊
Super Gefühl voll , ich benutze sie zum Motorrad fahren man kann mit ihnen super weich schalten 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 und hat bei der Ankunft Schuhe mit denen man auch sehr bequem Laufen kann 😊👍🏼😁 .Bis jetzt bin ich wunschlos zufrieden die besten Barfuß Schuhe die ich bis jetzt hatte und ich hatte schon x paar diverser Hersteller. Macht weiter so das zweite paar Schuhe ist schon bestellt 🤭 . Einen Punkt habe ich aber trotzdem zu bemängeln, Der Versender in Deutschland hat es alerdindgs voll vermasselt acht Wochen sind definitiv zu lange.

These boots are great for anyone looking for a zero-drop boots. I was worried that they would hinder my ankle movement as I usually use barefoot shoes, but somehow they do not, and the leather does not grease due to use. The leather is thick but not very hard, resulting on a short breaking in time. They Look better on pictures, but do not look like clown shoes either.
I preordered my pair on 1st of july and got my pair at the end of january. Given that other regions had theirs over three months before was a proof of lousy logistics.
Sehr bequem, toller Stil und dass man die Schuhe auch noch neu besohlen kann ist absolut Klasse. Ich hoffe, dass man die Sohlen in Zukunft auch in Europa kaufen kann. Und dass es vielleicht irgendwann auch eine dunkelblaue Version gibt.
Endlich, endlich Schuhe, wie ich sie mir vorstelle! Ich bin einfach begeistert und möchte sie gar nicht mehr ausziehen!
