NEW VLOG HERE: • why my girlfriend quit...
Harrison Ford a.k.a. Indiana Jones already has a boot named after him. However, Harrison Ford don't just wear no Alden Indy boots all the time! Today we are looking at the Russell Moccasin Oneida. This is a moccasin that is over 100 years old and used during WWI to build blimps. Harrison Ford, Tom Selleck, and the like have all been seen rocking Russell Moccasin at one point or another...so what's the big deal?! Also, we're taking a gander at L.L. Bean's slipper selection. Has their quality gone down? Have things just changed a wee bit too much in the wrong direction? Find out, today!

The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jackets to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)

*EDIT: I haven't tested these personally but someone just recommended Minnetonka for a lower priced moccasin and...they seem pretty cool* Hello all! I just want to clarify, I was a bit harsh on L.L. Bean and I apologize for that. They are made quite different than how they used to be made in the 80's and are very different than Russell's. That being said, they are still handsewn, very well cushioned, and for $120, not a bad deal for around-the-house slippers (I think a no-foam version would be cool though). I got a little too hyped up on their history and what they were originally intended for and didn't make the above notes clear. I'm a big fan of L.L. Bean and just purchased two books on the brand so I can do a deep dive for a big vid. *THANKS SEE YOU SOON!*

criticizing companies that have downgraded quality (some very significantly) while relying on their past name power is very fair to do. companies shouldnt be allowed to just get lazy and rest on their laurels and expect everyone to keep being fans of the brand. fair criticism is welcomed and informative. not that i hate ll bean or think its crap, i have several bean products that i love, the winter slippers included. i got a good 2 years out of mine already and can prob get a bit more use too. theyre getting a bit rough due to sweaty feet though... and stinky. but ive loved them and recommend them.

Regarding outdoor wear @12:30, the trick to wearing real leather mocs or any kind of 'historic' shoe outside is oil, oil, oil and then oil again. Every day, without fail. Tallow, neatsfoot, mink, whatever - but you HAVE to keep the leather impregnated or the shoes fall apart like the dead tissue and skin they really are. One step in a muddy puddle will dry them out, the next day (or the one after) you'll have cracks if you don't keep up on it.

I have almost the same shoe made by Rancourt in Maine. They use an 8 oz. chromepak leather for the outsole. I agree that it is an astonishing shoe. Rancourt uses a traditional saddle stitch on the vamp plug -- not the overlap stitch -- which is a very reliable stitch and still great -- just not as puddle resistant.

On day I drove up and parked in front of Abercrombie & Fitch on Madison Ave. in NYC in my go anywhere Land Rover and left wearing a pair of Oneida lace ups. Those were the days. THE most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Wore them walking the streets of Manhattan. Alas, a hole eventually wore throught, and I didn't know they could be redone.Otherwise, I'd probably still have them. I do have a pair their tracker boots, custom made with a thin rubber sole. Bullet proof. Russell no longer makes the Oneidas to measure ... and, the price. Wow!

I also found Russell’s a couple of years ago and want to buy a pair some day but on a couple of occasions I contacted them about sizing, the service was really bad (rude/short)…and slow. I couldn’t bring myself to the $450 for the Oneida’s in that instance so I went with one of the Maine OG’s…Rancourt & Co and I love their mic slippers. Had them for about 8 months. I know they may not be Russell’s but I saved $250 and got great service! Don’t let go of your Maine roots!

Rancourt is great! I think Russell was bought (by Luke and a few others guys) since then and the service is a bit different now. They used to do mainly custom boots and I think had a backlog of like 1,200 orders and couldn't catch up and were under pressure (based off what I heard) Anyways back to Rancourt -- I just got my first pair of boots from them and am breaking them in!

I'm glad to see that Russell is getting more and more attention. Wisconsin was the center of the US timber industry until about 1915 when there was just too much clear cutting. So Wisconsin has a heritage of great boot and shoe makers, largely for the same reasons that the Pacific Northwest boot makers do today. Chippawa, Thorogood, Russell and Allen Edmonds (and also Red Wing - across the river in Minnesota) were the best you could buy at one time or another. Chippawa is ghost of it's former self, Thorogood has found a niche in workboots that are affordable but 2 or 3 levels of quality above what big box store brands. Allen Edmonds is the luxury brand that seems to have recovered a slump, and Russell's just about disappeared entirely. I'm never going to able to afford a pair of these, but at least now it seems that Russell is going to last for a few more years instead of being bought up by a big corporation and sticking the Russell name on the cheapest footwear they can make overseas.

" . . while I scream through the night and beg for help . .

But, a few times I have awakened from a brief, seemingly two seconds of not being able to breath, and I must say they have been - for reasons I'm not entirely sure of - the most terrifying seconds in my life, Ever. I bolt awake with a quick gasp, and TERROR. Terror from what I don't know, I suppose it's from that second of not breathing. Thank God it lasts less than a half minute, with each second better than the last. So terrifying that nothing could eleviate it. So terrifying that you want to jump out of your skin.

@@TheIronSnail I don't doubt the construction is solid, in my experience a frayed stitch is a frayed stitch. I'm never getting into a situation where my shoes, with their overlapping seams or multi vamp construction are getting punctured through so many layers. With all my leather boots for casual or work wear; I just take them to get restitched as that is the most likely point of failure. From a business POV, the level of material used is a bit excessive for what is essentially a light-on-the-foot moccasin. I don't doubt this gentleman takes great pride in his work and it takes a long time to make. I bought tea and coffees for my local shoe shop and spoke with the owner today and showed him your video actually! His business is family owned and operated and they've been making shoes for a few generations, they have the process down to the tee, with the help of his family they make the process very quick (it definitely helps having a good team!). If anyone is looking for a good quality moccasin, don't be discouraged by that 700$ price tag, you can get a great pair for much cheaper if you look around your local shoemakers (etsy is great too!)

You can’t blame Harrison ford as being a carpenter he has to have quality food wear cause of his former profession and having quality footwear is better then sub par cheap shoes

Ah yes... the Russell Classic Build from the Russell Moccasin Co has been continuously produced since the early 1900's and was once purchased in volumes by the US Government during WWI for the U.S. Army workers building airships. Get yours now only $450 a pair... 😮 YIKES!!!

Bean Moc for indoor use only. Russell for both indoor & out. Different use, different consumers. Both are great for their price points.

Wait a second, if you look closely at the shoes Harrison Ford is wearing in these pictures.. thats a slightly different shoe. It laces up. I was looking at the Russell website and it looks like all their lace up options have rubber soles, the only option with this sole is the Oneida. Did he order a custom pair? I kinda want the shoes he's wearing. They look great
@adamr63
@adamr63 Ай бұрын
Until recently all the Russell footwear was custom ordered, of course they had a few favorites that were more commonly ordered over the years. You could pick the height, the leather, the soles, single or double vamp, etc.
