South 40 Premier Build ^Sale

The Boot:

The tale behind the South 40 was written in the pheasant fields of South Dakota in 1983-1984. Our team realized the need for a boot that could hold up to a broad variety of conditions and tackle long miles with comfort, all in the lightweight package the Russell Bird Shooter model is known for. Introduced in 1984, the Russell South 40 Bird Shooter was an instant success and continues to be the best in class 40 years later.

The Construction

The South 40 is a Double Vamp with a Molded Sole construction, commonly referred to as Triple Vamp, which is the most water resistant and durable construction we offer. It boasts a fully leather-lined upper, pull loops, a Poron sock liner, and quick lacing studs. The South 40 also has a hand molded oak-leather heel counter, which locks your foot in place to help prevent against rolling an ankle. The South 40 is a 9" Boot.
