Backcountry Premier Build

Beautiful belt. The leather is top notch. This belt will be braving the concrete jungle of NYC.

This is my third pair of Russell's. I started in 2019 with Chukkas, then Backcountry, and now Traveling Sportsman. I was measured at the Dallas Safari Club convention for the first and used those measurements for the second. I used the measuring app for the Sportsman which gave me a full size smaller than my Brannock size.
The Sportsman fits just fine. What a beautiful, solid feeling, and comfortable boot/shoe. It is not a light boot, feels like it could go anywhere short of high mountains, and yet is classy enough to wear to meetings at offices and goes well with jeans, work pants, and khaki dress pants. The laces are on the short side but work. I look forward to wearing them for many years.

Still wear a pair of custom Art Carter Traveling Sportsman Chukkas made in veal leather in the 1990’s. Very comfortable.
I wear them three seasons at least once every 10 days and they still look like new. Just clean them and put a coat of Pecards or Obenaufs water proofing on occasionally. Mine are a tan colour. Great shoe.

Russell Moccasin you did it again! These Joe's PH boots in chocolate bison with the coffee twill turned out absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for a quality, hand made boot, it doesn't get any better than this. The soles are quiet and very grippy. The inside of the boot hugs your feet, NO pinch. I was looking for a daily wear boot I could also take hiking. Russell definitely delivered. I plan on getting a pair of the bird shooters as well. I am a customer for life.

I bought a cotton quartered pair in 1977 for a 6 month trip to Kenya. Soles and heels completely wore out and counters tipped from constant wetting and drying (I wore them every day) and I had along a can of wax polish and a rag so I could shine them up to masquerade as dress shoes for entrance into nice restaurants. I can see how the double vamp would be an advantage. PS: while thorns gave me many flat tires they never got through my boots!!!

The best boot I have worn yet. I have a PH on the way and these make me more excited for the ones coming!

I hope Russell brings back the Lactae Havea soles they used for a while. It would make these perfect.

Love the belt so far. Is very attractive and perfectly matches my walnut timberjack fishing oxfords. It has a nice thickness and is very tough. The leather has yet to mark up at all, even when having it tight around my waist which is one thing I look for in a good belt.

Great hat, got a compliment from my dad - the king of baseball caps - so it was high praise.

Sheila Johnston assisted me with this order and was very helpful. The product itself has worked well on my fishing oxfords and smells nice to boot.

I had initially ordered the wrong size, but Sheila Johnston at Russell Mocassin kindly assisted me that same day I had an issue and ensured things were shipped that day too. Sheilas customer service was excellent. I am very happy with the shoe so far, looking forward to the adventures had with it.

I often find myself just admiring the craftsmanship of these boots, or the rich leather smell coming from them. I think it’s best to just wear them though, that’s where they shine. You can’t truly appreciate the craftsmanship of these boots until you receive them, they’re worth every penny.

As with all my Russell Moccasin products, the quality is fantastic and it is very comfortable to wear. One of my favorite shirts now.

I'm very glad I bought this extremely nice T-shirt. Sometimes T-shirts are a bit small for their stated size, this one is nicely sized. A large is exactly that, not too small or too big. The material appears to be very nice, not the usual cheap cloth of a regular T-shirt. I also really like the archival print and it's a very nice size and exactly as shown on the webpage. You won't be disappointed in this T-shirt.

I’ve enjoyed a pair of 9” Russel boots for years, extremely durable and dry even in the wettest of conditions. I bought the moccasins primary for driving but I wear them all over the place. And again, over the top Russell quality. It’s rare something exceeds my expectations but for the second time Russell’s do.

I cannot remember what rationale I employed in the purchase of my Oneida mocs. I'm sure it was for something specific, like house shoe/slipper, or maybe driving. In fact, this summer they have become my all-purpose shoes.

These are some seriously comfortable shoes. Unmatched by my other slippers, loafers, and sandals; and easily more convenient than oxfords, etc.

I spent a career wearing dress shoes from another Wisconsin shoemaker. Great shoes, but with limited utility in my retired life. Funerals, weddings, inclement weather, and so forth.

Onieda mocs are all about comfort and leisure. I will need to get another pair for socks and cold weather.
