How's the overall foot support in JG boots?
On my feet, they are fine. My feet don't hurt. No sore spots.
We all have different feet. There really is no "overall".
It's a stitchdown design. You are standing on a proprietary foot bed, the lasting board, a midsole, and whatever outsole. The boots are all wide, and will accommodate an Orthotics insert. The Jim Green foot bed is not special in any way, nor do they make any claims about it being engineered for comfort.
I have Steel Toe Razorback, built on their Steel Toe Cap last, and the Numzaan, built on their Ashley M Last. Both shoes were based on the fact that the main upper part of the shoe is a large single piece of leather. Not several small scrap pieces sewn together. The full leather lining was another factor which sold me. But what closed the deal for me was pricing. You get a lot for the price point.
My regular shoe width is medium. Jim Green shoes are extra wide. Equivalent to 2E. Plenty of room for me to wear 2 pairs of socks and wiggle my toes. Although I actually like to wear these boots without socks, because my feet are already wrapped in the full leather lining and leather foot bed.
