Oneida Moccasin

MODEL DETAILS

The Shoe

The Russell Oneida has been continuously produced since the early 1900's. During WWI and the following years of the Dirigible's use in the military, the Oneida was purchased by the U.S. Army for the workers building airships. The smooth but tough molded leather outsoles were essential to prevent any tears in the fabric skin as the balloons were produced.

After more than 100 years, we have found quite a few more uses for this utilitarian design. The heavyweight bullhide leather Molded Sole provides plenty of protection while maintaining excellent ground-feel. It is for this reason that the Oneida makes a wonderful driving moccasin, and many bowhunters bring a pair for situations when silent stalking is necessary. After a day in the field, it is the perfect shoe to wear around the camp or lodge. Factory re-soleable. Built on the 77 last.

The Leather

Made from water-resistant, full-grain Walnut Timberjack leather. Over time it will patina and darken to a beautiful deep brown. Condition with Obenaufs or Pecards.

Like buttah. I did a lot of research. I mean a LOT. I spent nearly a year hovering over the purchase, looking up more information, and finally pulled the trigger. Now I dont want to take them off. Beautiful, comfortable, classic.

Own 2 Pairs!

I own two pairs of Onieda Moc’s one sized to wear with heavy wool socks that I wear outside daily until we get a significant snow,to and from work (driving), then I wear them as house shoes through the winter. My other pair I wear sock less all summer for casual activities. Big fan of both and would highly recommend.

Dream come true..

The only thing about these moccasins that I regret is having to occasionally take them off.. this is my second set of Russell’s along with my pecos south 40s.. I’m officially hooked and gonna pull the trigger soon on some back country’s next to round it off on all three. But now I know better than to think that’ll satiate anything.

Excellent quality and comfort .

Fantastic quality

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.
