Customer Reviews
I just bought a pair of the Professional Hunter and was so impressed that I decided to buy the Weathered Oak PH Boots. If you are holding back and unsure of getting these boots, let me tell you stop thinking and start buying. These boots feel like clouds on my feet. I'm already saving up for the Pecos Boots as my next purchase. Great Company, Great Boots, and Great Service. These are American made top of the line boots. I promise you will pat yourself on the back for buying these amazing boots.
Amazing boots, I love the look and waxy feel of the boot. I wear thick socks and insulated pad so I went with my regular fit. I have hiked on really rough terrains, the canvas is surprisingly strong and durable, has held up perfect in the multiple environments. At first the boots were very slippery, as if the ground I walked on had oil, but after some wear the outsoles found its grip. The brass eyelets had burr, I did have to file them down and put a pair of tongue savers to avoid the eyelets from digging into that world renown leather. Beware of over-pulling the boot's tongue, I am starting to see some minor tears on mine.
Edgar, I think there is some confusion here as to the purpose of the PH boot. It is absolutely not a boot for wet or steep conditions as the product description clearly states. This is a trekking boot designed for the plains of Africa where breathability, durability, and comfort for stalking long distances in the bush is key. Steep and muddy is a perfect application for the Backcountry, but not the PH.
Super confortable
Without a doubt, Russell Moccasin Co. offers high quality American made boots. Yes, they’re expensive. But you get what you pay for. I have several pair of these boots and have been a customer for 25 years. I recently purchased a new pair of Weathered Oak PH boots with the new “360” sole. What a disappointment. These soles are flat and flimsy. Reminds me of a pair of bowling shoes. Definitely a deal breaker for me. Im all for trying new things but it feels like I’m being force fed this new sole, like it or not. It appears that, all but one of the new leather choices in the PH are offered with this sole exclusively. After receiving my new boots and giving the “360” soles a try, I promptly boxed them up and sent them to Appleton Cobbler Shop to have the soles replaced with the Aspen Gumlite. It’s good to offer new options, but I think it’s a mistake to abandon the tried and true components that established Russell as a premier brand in professional footwear.
It’s not my intention to de suede anyone from buying these boots. I’m merely trying keep the spirit the “original” company alive so those who share my sentiments can enjoy Russell boots for years to come.
Thank You.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your input. Just to be clear the Vibram 360 sole has been used at Russell for well over a decade in many of our models including the PH.
