*This is a great informative video! It would be amazing to see a longer video that shows the process from beginning to end! I've seen some other bootmaking channels do it. It also helps with giving the company more business. Whether you talk in them or not is completely up to you all. Your boots are incredible and very high quality! Good work!! 😊*

Hello Luke, met you at the Stitchdown bootcamp and brought a pair of backcountry boots. I have to say that it was a very nice experience trying on the backcountry boot for the first time (it was my first time trying on a Russel Moccasin). It was the most comfortable boot I ever put on, I could actually fall asleep without taking them off. I can't wait until they arrive, they are going to become my go to casual boot for hanging out as well as hiking around. More people need to try on these boots, it will make people believers. Great job.

from my understanding, the "molded sole" is a layer of poron, which is synthetic. I've always heard that synthetics are to be avoided in heritage footwear as it will inevitably break down. how is this taken into account when considering the longevity of those boots?
@w.c.russellmoccasincoАй бұрын
The Molded Sole is not synthetic. Its an extra leather layer.

@@w.c.russellmoccasinco thank you for the response. my misunderstanding on the "molded sole." however, the double vamp molded sole model does shoes a "poron slip sole" sandwhiched inside, so the same question applies to that one.

Why don’t shoe companies just build boots to the brannock measurements? Cracking nuclear code is easier than buying a pair of footwear that fit properly. Standardized industry, far to simple.
@w.c.russellmoccasincoАй бұрын
From the outside it can seem simple, but footwear fit is not just about length and width, its about volume. Unless you can standardize the last itself and its shape/volume, footwear designed for different purposes will always fit differently.

I want a pair of your oneidas and bird shooters but the sizing of your footwear is quite confusing. I wear Allen Edmonds dress shoes in 9 3e and Alden boots in 8.5 ee/eee so I’d think RM would be in 8.5 ee or so but after trying the scanning size feature, I was assigned a size of 8 e. I’m so confused what to believe given that my AE and Alden sizes are based off the brannock device.

I remember back in the 1960s in Laredo, Texas, my grandpa and my grandma, we used to cross the border to Mexico to buy Mexican beer and a dry beef called- carne seca from a town called sabinas hidalgo- they still make it today, it's dehydrated beef and they rolled it up it's cook with eggs and tomatoes and onions after it's a prepared they call it machacado it's a very popular meal in the northern state of Mexico, and I remember the butcher shop and other neighbors around the business they always had a list of things they wanted my grandparents to bring back on the next trip to them - everything from hand towels shampoo Levi's pants and Levi's jackets stetson hats exetera exetera- The reason was because everything made in USA was excellent quality and I mean Everything, today everything made in USA still great quality but it's a little more expensive and somethings are just not made here anymore, Russell moccasins are still made here and it's a living pruff that Made in America is Made good ,I'm retired now so I don't do lots of outdoor activities but after watching how good this boots are made I'm in 100% and it's a perfect excuse to go walking and exercise but the best part is the feeling of wearing a great pair of American Made by hand boots. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GID BLESS THE AMERICAN WORKING PEOPLE AND THEIR EMPLOYERS.

Very useful, and very cool to see up close how these unique boots are put together. it's extraordinary how advanced they were from the early day of manufacture, and also ho unique the techniques have remained. I supposed there is no was to industrialise these construction techniques, one of the reasons (besides patents?) that they were not more widely copied.
