Russell Moccasin
-
So I finally ordered the Safari PH II - will be done just in time for xmas…lol...
I may need a pair in the near future…
-
I would really like a pair like the ones beats and giles have rocked but their website is too weird. I have trouble understanding what my suede options are.
Beats and Giles, what did you do? Call them?
-
I phoned and spoke to Patty. I think the only suede option is Laramie rough out.
-
Thanks Giles.
I sent them an email a few days ago. Still waiting on a reply.
-
Just about have my pair nailed down via a few back and forths with Patty.
-
Updates on both of your pairs G?
-
Right on thank you! I know they both turned out great but am sure everyone would love to see detailed shots and descriptions of what they did.
-
Well, these I bought second hand from Russell. It is always worth cruising through here once a month or so, there are some bargains to be had:

They cost me USD100 and I was able to spec whatever sole I wanted as part of the deal. I chose the wedge vibram lug, basically because i have no shoes/boots with that sole and I thought they would be good for what I intend to wear then for, which is beach fishing and boat fishing through the winter…
-
wow, the folks at Inventory really ripped these off with their recent make-ups with Yuketen.
wonder which is a better made product as well as a value for the money spent?
-
the chukka looks quite like a makeup nepenthes did with russell a few years ago, same leather, probably the munson army last, with different sole this time around, very nice, I prefer the crepe sole
for my money, give me the russell over yuketen. I'll take the folks that been in business a long time, and I know when the time comes I can get a resole or repair
-
the resole/refurbish is a major plus. . . but i can't go with the folks just cause they have been doing it longer. have to give the new kids a shot at it, might be pleasantly surprised.
