The Safari, I've taken my time to really wear these in before I shared my thoughts on them. These boots exemplify the absolute wearability of this type of construction and what that offers. The combination of the Russell build quality, coupled with the lactae hevea sole, is for every day wear, unbeatable. Dead silent, grippy, with just the right amount of cushion and surprisingly wear resistant. These are made to wear daily, they aren't a stout logger boot or a red wing moc toe boot. They are supple, comfortable, agile, they offer plenty of protection, more like a glove than a gauntlet. If you're looking for shoes that offer a minimalist wear that gets better with age, these are the answer. Thanks Russell, I'm proud to wear your boots.
