I own a custom Grand Slam Sheep Hunter. If your looking for a well built utilitarian shoe/chukka/boot, this is it.
I've worn them through Maine winters and hiking throughout Maine and New Mexico, they're perfect. It didn't take long for them to form to my feet, and the insulation is a nice touch. I'll try and post some pics later.
I need to get aboard this thread. I've seen some rm's in the wild and have been very impressed, esp. with the chukkas. They look old school, comfortable, classic. Looking to get a pair. May eventually order straight from russell but would love to nail down my size with a used pair. If anyone has some 9.5's their looking to get rid of I'd be interested.
Yeah, I should probably go custom. People have consistently said good things about the results of the custom footwear from Russell.
The mark-up for custom is hardly worth mentioning, but I find the wait (5 months or so now?) to be pretty discouraging. There is a couple of old chukkas on fleabay that really show how nice their leather can wear. Unfortunately, they're huge sizes.
If I do go custom, I'll go the whole hog and get the chukka made with their brown chromexcel. The pair posted two years ago by Curious George are essentially my grail chukka. Just amazing. (He still around? Would love to see those shoes now!)
Thinking of placing a order for some custom boots.
Anyone know if I'm a 9.5 in Quoddys what size I'd be in Russel Moccasins?
Thanks
Rpiotr01, Nice! I just got my fishing oxfords and kangaroo dv chukkas back from the spa. Fit like butter and look like new. Both 30 years young!
