Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
Just got these - a mere four months and 13 days from the date of order. I wanted a black pair to go with my brown Art Carters for everyday wear with khaki's and jeans. However, these are made on their boot last. The more rounded toe fits me better than the narrower toe of their oxfords and...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
You are not going to make a bad choice with either, which is always nice. Russell's web page on sole choices is here: http://www.russellmoccasin.com/sole-options/ The Gumlite is more cushioned, lighter weight, designed for everyday wear on hard surfaces, and perform the same in black or...- oldfrump

Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes
The Red Wing Shoe Company website is promoting a $20 off coupon for Red Wing "work boots" $150 or more at participating dealers during the month of October. Does this include the Heritage line? Ah... good question. The term seems elastic enough to allow the dealer to go either way. My...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
I'd call for clarification. In other contexts, "double vamp" is what Russell calls a leather lining. The catalog photo clearly shows a leather lining. The catalog description states it is "fully leather lined". I just assumed that is the same as a double vamp, but they may distinguish...- oldfrump

Just an observation, not in any way a criticism: That Ralph Lauren Double Moccasin Bird Shooter, has a double mid sole. The leather mid sole which you see in the photo is stitched (and glued) to the standard black mid sole. This is done to make the shoe stiffer and more stable on rough ground...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
Russell is very high on the French Veal, and I can understand why. I have a pair in tan, my wife in black. It has a wonderful feel on the foot, is beautiful in way photos cannot capture, the patina gets very good over time, and Russell says it is very strong. But it would not be my choice to...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
I am sure there must be some limits, but see the shoe my wife designed in my post above - she chose the leathers, stitching, sole, and all the internal features herself. They will make virtually any style in any leather or combination of leathers, sole, insulation, cushion, lacing options...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
Once again back before Memorial Day I made the trip up to Berlin, Wisc. to see about another pair. The results arrived yesterday - a pair of kangaroo South 40 Bird Shooters, with significant modifications for me and a pair of 3 Eyed Tie Cushioned Casuals for my wife. They are amazing. Really...- oldfrump

This would be simple for Russell. Most of their styles will easily adjust to a high instep with just the lacing, but if you do the made-to-measure program your instep will be just one of the measurements. For specific instructions on how to deal with your insoles you should just call them -...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
My experience is close to the same. I wear a 13 in Allen Edmunds and Alden and take a 13 in Russell Moccasin's as well, but I have to back down one width narrower - I currently have the Art Carter's (lined) and the Sporting Clay chukka (unlined) and both fit about the same. Russell insists...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
I was up at the factory back in May, and posed pretty much that question. Mr. Fabricius helped me to decide on essentially the American Bison "PH" with the Newporter sole and T.H. wedge. I am having them made in kangaroo (no canvas), and they should be arriving in a couple more weeks. The...- oldfrump

My new favorite shoe - Sporting Clay
I arrived home today to find these on the front porch: This was a surprise as they arrived a day short of seven weeks from the order date - rather a good deal less than the 12 to 14 weeks promised. Russell Moccasin calls these the "Sporting Clay" model, although what connection they have...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
I was going through the Russel Moccasin website - new, not greatly improved - looking for a home for yet another $400 or so when I ran across this new entry: Details are sketchy, but it appears to be a double vamp, oak leather mid-sole, Danite sole with stacked leather and Danite heel, and...- oldfrump

Boots made by Russell Moccasin Company -- experiences
I got the French Veal. This was my first order from them and I figured they knew more about how to make their shoe than I do. They have recently introduced a version in full Kangaroo leather - at a lower price, and I am strongly, strongly tempted: I did order a pair of the Shooting Clay...- oldfrump

This thread was helpful to me in sorting out the Russell Moccasin pluses and minuses, so I thought I would add my own experience to the mix. Background - I am not a fashion guy. I do have a great appreciation for well made shoes and my closet now holds Red Wing, Alden, Allen Edmonds, an old -...- oldfrump
