Don't underestimate the Safari and lactae hevea sole. I've done a lot of miles in mine. Admittedly in Florida, no rocks and mountains, but they're phenomenal as a minimalist hiking shoe.

[@BlueSpirit.]

🌟Dude! You need to do their famous Appalachian trail story boot with the Lug Sole! It’s the best! My apologies, I think it’s the back country. Should’ve watched further. 💙

[@mattmatthews5414]

It’d have to be a big special episode where he and the team all go do the Appalachian trail in the AT boots.

[@jeremycorvialis4085]

I'm so glad you pointed out their sizing app! I ran into that a few days ago and couldn't understand why more businesses weren't using something like it. Brilliant innovation.

[@NickyB0718]

Russell makes great boots. I have the back country in the darker leather and I love them. For me they fit perfectly true to size. Outstanding quality and very good customer service.

[@w.c.russellmoccasinco]

Thank you! Glad to hear you are enjoying them.

[@NickyB0718]

Right on! Outstanding boots! I was glad to see these on the ready to wear selection now. Very good idea! Thanks for the great products!

[@Templar112299]

FWIW I've never worn Russell's before but I ordered a pair using their sizing tool and the boots fit perfectly.

[@raphaelkarpeles7447]

Talking of the Rose Anvil Builds channel. Haven't seen a new video there for a while and I miss them. 😔 When will there be new videos?

[@michaelzakas4055]

Ok Weston, you have enough Russell’s now. Let’s see the inside of one.

[@donculver8671]

I have three pairs: single buffalo moccasin, PH Safari (canvas upper, buffalo lower) & most recent the Fishing oxford. The single vamp buffalo moccasin & PH Safari's are custom fitted back when they did that (you send in your foot tracing and key measurements) and it took over a year to receive them after ordering but they fit perfect. The "under new management" fishing oxford is beautiful but not custom fitted and they fit the worst despite using their fitting guide. I would rather wait over a year to get truly custom made (& fitted) boots than ordering off the shelf as they are now offering.

[@janibeg3247]

i have a pair of Russell upland bird shooters purchased in 1971. They are beatup but still functional. Vibram soles. Burn marks, blood stains (mine).

[@HariOmRadhaKrishna]

The Russell Moccasins look awesome, but are out of my price range. I did just order the Jim Green African Rangers in Barefoot/Green.

[@kart182]

I love mine, much more foot conforming than any of my Goodyear welted boots

[@cannedcoochie5886]

Have had my pair of weathered oak backcountry as my first high quality boot for a few months now and I absolutely love them!

[@dufferjuice]

I have a pair of Weathered Oak Backcountry and they are so good!

[@w.c.russellmoccasinco]

Glad you are enjoying them!!

[@tr_vmi4844]

I have a pair of Backcountry's....and they are damn amazing!! I love them!!

[@w.c.russellmoccasinco]

Thanks! Glad to hear you are enjoying them!

[@ivanheffner2587]

I have been curious about when the Rose Anvil team would get to the Russel moccasin boot. I expected it to be some October because *obvious*; but these, unlike all of the “mock”-toe boots are actual moc-boots. I’d love to see a good shop tour of the construction on these boots as well. Maybe that video already exists and I just need to put in the effort to search for it.

[@Jared-Kreate]

Those boots are so sick

[@cwr8618]

Kershaw has tremendous value. Love the action and dimensions of mine

[@kilee-8136]

The ice plunge always makes me crack up! 😂

[@billystpaul8907]

Glad to see a Russell unboxing. These are on my radar. They are made 3 hours away from me. So, I will await your verdict on them and they are worth the price. Thanks again for all of your content you put out.

[@Benjels480]

Awesome!! I’d love to see these side by side with Gokeys

[@curtshelp6170]

I found that exact model of Kershaw on the trail in green.

[@nicolasbaldwin2367]

Love Russell! Be careful with sizing, however. I was sent a pair of the backcountry marked as an E width, but they were actually their D width. This has not been a problem with my other 2 pairs, but the customer service was difficult to get ahold of. I ended up paying shipping back. My other two pairs are my most comfortable boots, so readers should definitely consider a pair!

[@ddpsf]

If you want another of those knives it is called a Kershaw Leek. Great knife with a partial assist opener.

[@BrentonCarr]

That scale material is called Ultem. California legal automatic. Kershaw makes great autos for a reasonable price.

[@johndobbins8051]

Those Hanes socks arent bad by the way, wearing some myself today.

[@CrispyFrenFry]

Wow, price increase within a month of video release! Awesome info.

[@starkparker16]

My SAS side gores are supposedly true moccasins and they're supremely comfortable.

[@curtisjarrell6725]

Would you do a video on some James Bond shoes, Church's - Diplomat & Chetwynd? That would be super cool.

[@gqfiend]

I just got pecos south 40 seconds. VERY soft under foot. Wore them to work rather than hiking. Not a work boot. Will save for the hikes.

[@gqfiend]

Oh, and I went with my sneaker size. I couldn't size down. Not right for me.

[@gqfiend]

My uppers close shut. I think they are just generous up the leg.

[@curtshelp6170]

I believe Gokey makes a hiking Moccosin.

[@randydutton4038]

When cutting these in half, please talk about their ability to be rebuilt.

[@dgoodman1484]

Pretty much the perfect designed overall boot in my opinion. Now if I only knew how to get a pair to fit my 9c foot like when they were made to your measurements. Although to be fair, mine took forever to get and didn’t fit. The second pair didn’t take as long but did fit perfect. Loved the boots but sadly got stolen soon after I got them in the middle of nowhere fishing! Go figure 🤦🏻‍♂️🤬

[@enriquekahn9405]

I'm too poor/cheap to afford these but dang those are the best looking hiking boots I've seen

[@JackyTang-tu2if]

Hi Rose Anvil, at 17:52, you said 9E is better for you. but when you stand up, you said 9.5E is better. In the Mountain PH boots video, you said, 9E is better for you as well. Not sure if Moccasin sizing is consistent? I think I have a similar feet size to you ( I saw your Red wing 875 video), I am good fit at 9D redwing 877. Do you think 9E for Russell Moccasin is okay for me? btw, your said you are 10C to D in the 875 video haha. I think it really helps people to understand the sizing of Moccasin. Thank you.

[@drd8251]

I have a Kershaw automatic that looks like the same size. Automatic knives with a blade of two inches or longer are illegal in California, where I live. Therefore, the blade on my Kershaw is 1.9 inches. 😊

[@TylerSnyder305]

I really wish they hadn't discontinued their plantation birdshooter, those are my dream boots that I was saving up for but they got discontinued .

[@cwr8618]

Wait, so how'd the sizing go? At $680, I want to make sure I get the sizing right

[@casuallyworked4698]

The E width is definitely going to be too wide if you wear a C width in Alden Trubalance

[@johndobbins8051]

Gokey is another.

[@Highland_Paddy]

If I've bought "custom" boots and they didn't fit? You mean like the ones YOU designed last year that should have been wider? These don't seem to have the arch support, though.

[@Highland_Paddy]

And, by "custom" he means MADE TO ORDER [or "measure"], fyi.

[@Highland_Paddy]

Reminds me, I still have to call back one company and haggle about partial refund and then other company that IS NOT MTO still hasn't shipped my order from three weeks ago already.

[@thesheepthemightythecrazy]

I got curious and checked the brand out. The brand got like 30% more expensive and they took out the custom option.

[@phraktl]

They also don't make good shit. Unless you're a KZbin content creator, you'll get trash "quality".

[@thesheepthemightythecrazy]

@@phraktl So they went full filson. Bad quality at a higher price. Can you recommend a good moccasin brand? or even a maker that does mto?

[@Mikey_556]

Trill those R’s lol

[@WPive]

Hello Iron Snail

[@michaelzakas4055]

Knife-head terminology? Weston once reminded us that “ALL words are made up.”

[@Bayou987]

If you don’t like knives we can’t be friends

[@rogergirouard]

does russell do resoling?

[@phraktl]

They have a company-approved vendor that does resolving. It's on their website.

[@williamolliges2622]

I don't like moc toe boots. Damn. Those are beautiful, but they'd better be at that price.

[@thebermudatr1angle]

That is an expensive pair of boots 😮

[@tutes0133]

Aye. Quality will set you back a pretty penny but they're worth it

[@chunliisthebest]

weston bath water lfgooo

[@Kingfisher1215]

The reviews are aligned with how much the maker kicks back to him.

[@davidcarpenters7031]

Have both Russell and Gokey…. Russell not what they used to be..new guys left the quality that mad them superior boots.. Gokey a much better boot. as is Schnees JMO but own all three

[@joejulian3594]

You are wrong. You are going on hear say.

[@davidcarpenters7031]

@@joejulian3594 Called them to see about getting a new pair made . In 9 on boot and 8.5 in the other like you could have fitted in the past..told the no longer do that! Maybe I used the wrong term ..quality..should have said service..again JMO… Im sticking to my Gokey and Schnees…and Meindle you go your way again I own all 4 brands and jmo

[@davidcarpenters7031]

@@joejulian3594 I If that’s so how did they reduce the wait time to having ready mage boots. Also wanted to see if I could get a new pair made in slightly different size ing. One 8.5 and one 9…like the pair I have..told they don’t do that anymore….that tells me you are just getting standard sized boots..no longer custom made to your exact size… Where am I wrong in my thinking?

[@joejulian3594]

@@davidcarpenters7031 they will make a custom pair, but require you to be measured/remeasured in person, by their staff. The old way of sending in measurements did not work before. Russell ended up losing money when the measurements were off and had to make multiple pairs using the customers measurements. With the liability being so high for a custom pair of boots, they have to make sure that the boots could be produced to the customer’s satisfaction. As much as everyone loves the old way, it simply did not work. People are welcome to tour the factory and get measured properly. Also, Russell has many events throughout the year that they will answer all your questions and give you the personalized experience youre looking for. I hope this helps.

[@ObelixCMM]

Please don't cut them as usual, cut the seams down and show us construction of the boot.

[@jimmylarge1148]

That’s what cutting it in half does. 😂 I get what your sayin and it would be cool as well but u can’t see everything u need to see abt how it’s made by cutting it in half.

[@ObelixCMM]

@@jimmylarge1148 No you can't, you can see materials used but now how and where are they stitched

[@jimmylarge1148]

@@ObelixCMM u can see how they are stitched. U can tell if it’s a real good year or stitch down or glued my man.

[@ObelixCMM]

@@jimmylarge1148 I make shoes/boots as a hobby, and thrust me you don't see how these boots are made without cutting down the seams. There is a sock like liner inside and you don't see how they finish heel counters

[@thebeyondwordser]

​@jimmylarge1148 he's referring to a unique layered construction in these boots that isn't easy to visualize from just a cross section. It's possible to see how they were made but not really appreciate the whole design.

[@tonynimmons111]

They look extremely overpriced for the style that they are

[@frankrice1253]

"does anyone want to buy my bathwater" CRINGE !

[@jerrydeanswanson79]

Right off the bat...you lost me. When I heard you say you "were supposed to ship them back...but you didn't". says it is all about your integrity and word. For me...That is a loser not worth listening to. Sorry.
