This is my second pair of Russell mocs, I've spent hard earned, dirty hands money on them. I love the fact that the money I'm spending is going to a company that is supporting people like me. With glue and tape on calloused hands, making a living and carrying on a tradition, thats what I want to support. These boots are comfortable, durable and handsome. These are for slippin through the woods on a stalk, scouting for a hunt, hiking and looking good while doing it. If you wear them to work, your customers will recognize your excellent taste and your feet will love you. These boots represent a substantial investment for me, if you're questioning the value, I'd like to put your mind at ease, you're getting what you pay for. I want to thank everyone at Russell, keep it up. God bless.
