@Giles:

These certainly appear too.  But my Munsons did not…

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?

[alcatraz]

Yeah I love 'em too - so much so I want a pair but can't them in the UK.
Russell's loss!!

[Giles]

I've bought 2 pairs from Russell.  Super easy, if exceedingly antiquated ordering and invoicing process…

[alcatraz]

G, from the US?

[Giles]

Yes, phone up they are about 6 hours behind us.  Speak to Patty….

Cheers G

these folks make a great product.  if you get a chance i would advise you a chance to check them out.

looks like jacoavlu's pair are lined on the bottom & Giles' pair aren't.  wonder how that impact's comfort?  tracing my feet & doing what seems like twenty or so things to get measured right & get a pair made up.  any suggestions from you Iron Heart crazies?

[kit99bar]

[jacoavlu]

Just got back from NY and saw an amazing selection of Russells at Nepenthes (37th St?).
Seriously….amazing.  If ever you're in the area you owe it to yourself to check this spot out...

Munson Laramie Suede Chukka.  Here are mine…..

[JCar2666]

^^Reason I ask is because the russle moccasin site isn't really the best and it took me a while to find the pair that looked similar to yours G and jaco.  I know these can be customized but even finding that was a bit of a bitch.

holy shit, 20 week turnaround time?  I thought 8 weeks for whites was bad.  They must really be old school.  I guess you can rush hand made crafting
