      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:

      http://www.russellmoccasin.com/saleitems/saleslist.pdf

      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.

              I need a pair of these!

              I've heard they run about a 1/2 size large?

                  more info on the new footwear,  pretty please?

                  Russell munson chukka laramie suede christy sole from nepenthes, I wanted the crepe sole, I got the last pair they had but they didn't fit, had to exchange for christy 😠 debating whether to treat them up with some obenauf LP, gotta go spy monday's viberg bobcat pics again…

                  for anyone that cares, mine size 9D, I could almost do 8.5 but the toe box is fairly narrow, I wear Alden trubalance in 9.5D

                      In my experience, the Laramie suede it does not seem to mark much.  I trash mine and there are no stains on them ay all, my RW suede Mocs on the other hand are spotted and stained all over…

                            Thanks G, that's useful to have that confirmed. I'm a UK 10 for Trickers and Jeffery West, however my RedWings are US 11 & 10.5 for the 875's and Iron Rangers respectively, (roomy but comfy in the 875, snug in the IR's) so I was thinking that a US 10.5 in the Russell Birdshooters would be OK?
