Russell Moccasin

[Giles]

Not bad for Russell (at least in their minds).  They are too busy as it is, that is why the Collab thing failed….

[madmonday]

okay, i love Iron Heart & most of the collabs, but I'm glad the collab didn't go through. not sure they really GET what Iron Heart is.

imho Viberg is the best fit for Iron Heart, but that's for another thread . . .

would tell you the make up but i would be making that sh!t up. pretty sure they were for the japan market & sold as an over stock on ebay:

Really like the looks of the RM Laramie suede Safari PH boots. Apparently a new model for a customer in Texas who wanted a boot for warm weather conditions. They have a very nice army sneaker look to them, IMO. Anyone own the safari PH?

back in my favorite footwear thread. these are a Haven make-up

wait maybe can see them better here:

look very similar to a pair of boots i've seen before. . . .

[fre-co]

Here is my favorite of my three pairs. Custom ordered almost two years ago I think. Finn posted them a couple of pages back when they were new.
They are tan cxl with Cape buffalo on the Munson last.

great image & build.

damn those are some nice boots @fre-co, thanks for sharing as this thread is pretty empty. Russell make some amazing footwear & as far as my experience goes comfy out the gate. What's your experience with your 3 pairs @fre-co

[superfuzz]

@fre-co great boots. Good to see you on the IH forum. I'm not on superfuture much anymore.

[fre-co]

Thanks guys. I agree Russell make fantastic boots and the comfort level is something else compared to work boots. Even after break in, whites, wesco's can't compare to these for all day comfort. This is my only pair on the Munson last and my only custom order. It took a long time to get the tracings just right and Russell did a great job of ensuring any issues were sorted before they started building.

I also have a pair of Laramie sporting clay chukkas and some triple vamp bird shooters in black that I got from their ebay store.

Hi Fre-co,
I have probably inquired before on sufu but what is your recommendation for sizing RM?
It seems I have missed out three times now on the restocks of the whiskey cxl RM's from Context. They have some great makeups. Yours seem to have darkened quite a bit? they look great

I have a bunch of Russell's…I wear a 12c in Russell, 12 in Alden Barrie, 12.5-13 in White's and 12.5 in Wecso.
Russell's are the bomb! Just take forever to get.

[khaki8]

Munson last fits a bit larger….I got an 11.5C in that but the heel was too small.
