The Boot
Named after the experienced trackers who guide dangerous game hunts, the Russell PH series boots have been stalking the plains of Africa and Australia for over 40 years. An excellent boot for warm weather situations in any country, the PH is the go-to boot for hunters and guides on safari. Breathable, packable, and extremely durable, the PH is a unique boot that is equally suited for daily wear. The Joe's PH variant is the favorite configuration of longtime Russell COO Joe Gonyo and features a cushion collar for sealing out dust and a rear pull loop for convenience.

The Construction
Configured as a lightweight Single Vamp moccasin with a Molded Sole, the PH provides excellent footing for a wide variety of terrains. This unique construction supports and protects the sides and bottom of the foot, while allowing the boot to stay light and flexible for ultimate comfort. Designed for breathability in hot climates, this construction provides excellent durability and amazing comfort, but is not ideal for wet terrain. This newest version features an upgraded Vibram 360 outsole with a 3/8" wedge. In addition, we have equipped the Professional Hunter with Army Studs to speed up your morning and make more time for coffee.Â
The Scottish Twill Quarters
18oz cotton twill quarters, woven in Scotland, allow heat and moisture to escape in the blistering heat of the Savanna, making it an extremely comfortable and breathable boot.
