Bronze Chamois Backcountry 7E

Sizing tool worked perfectly. Beautifully made boots reeking of quality. Go ahead and get the matching kilties, makes the boots even more comfortable. Just wonderful.

These are seriously the most comfortable boots made. They are beautifully constructed, soft and supple leather, and my feet thank me every day for switching to them. Also, for reference, I am a 13.5 and a 13.9 on the brannock and I went with a 13 EE because I have a very natural foot shape. So, why did I give it a 4 and not a 5?? I really wanted to give it a 4.5, but it would be a 5 every day if they went with a more natural toe box, like a Munson last. Or at least had that option. These are hiking boots, and when hiking your toes need room to splay out and these are not quite anatomical enough. They are wider than most shoes, but the big toe is still pushed inward. Like I said before, these are wonderful, but anyone with a correct foot position will have some discomfort after all day wear. They are worth every penny and I am thankful for this company!

Weathered Oak Backcountry

Best boots I have ever worn

I purchased these boots 2 months ago and did my first hike in them recently, i have to say they passed the hiking test with flying colors.
They're comfortable like sneakers and tough like nails. I really didn't have to do any "break-in" like traditional boots, the leather is thick and soft.
The fit is generous and allows me to wear thick cushioned socks and still have enough room in the toe box to walk steep downhills comfortably.
The sole has the right amount of rigidity and thinkness to the point that it neutralizes the terrain. You'll walk comfortably regardless of what you walk on.
For me walking miles on rocky terrain on steep uphills and downhills was a breeze.
When I purchased them I used the mobile app, i repeated the measurements 10 times and ordered the size the app suggested the most out of the 10 tries.
I also watched the fit video on the Russell youtube channel to get an idea of what the right fit is and how to they should wear. It was very helpful.
All in all i think the boots are worth the money.
My only criticism is about the lacing studs, the inside retaining ring is sharp and will grind the leather of the tongue in no time.
That's an easy fix that Russell should definitely implement.
