No thanks. Tries buying a pair and it was the worst experience I've ever had. The boots looked like they were drawn by a toddler. Unless you're a TH-cam content creator, you get trash quality. It's Filson 2.0.
Wow, the old ones really do look better...the shape of the last, the stitch density and the double stitch with a row going through to the outsole. I wish i could get a pair like this made to measure like they used to do
My favorite videos to watch are the clomps and April fools videos. Thanks to the whole team, the chemistry is rad.
The older pair had a much higher stitch density than the new ones!
Great vintage leathercraft!
Ps don’t f them up by cutting them in half…no secrets hidden in them, that could bring you anywhere further…thx 4 sharing
🐸I’m excited about Jim Greens new moc toe! It looks like a wrap boot like Russel moc. 🤞
Are they actually introducing a moc toe ?
@@TylerSnyder305yeah they just did a custom boot video where they showed a couple samples
@@usmnt4423 do you have a link ?
I could find nothing.
The older boot is more refined, better craftsmanship.
Old ones have definitely more anatomical last!
Gorgeous boots/piece of history. Keep them in tact, no need to cut something so irreplaceable!
Ah, the fabled 1930s sport boot that both the Alden 403/405 and Red Wing 8075/8076 are modeled after…
See how close together the eyelets are? That means the laces aren’t forced over the top of your foot. Something a lot of expensive NW boot manufacturers still haven’t learned. Old Wescos did a great job with this small but important feature. Can’t say if they still do but some popular newer companies that make NW style loggers, definitely don’t. Russell was awesome back when they measured your foot. 👍🏼
The scale on the knife is a material called ultem
Can you please review and cut in half the Drew's 10 Inch Logger pls pls
He only cuts them for 20K + in fee now.
Wow they look crazy elegant! I wonder will they bring that last back. Interesting that they have stitch per inch tigther overall on hand stitch and machine stitch as well on the fringe. And wow they seem like your exact size, crazy
So many comments saying not to cut them when the company that made them sent them to you specifically to get cut and to keep as an example for their archives 😂😂
Excellent Video 😊 This is your Wheelhouse 👍
I'm wearing my Rancourt mocs and that construction can't be beat. The sole looks very different with Russell.
Don't cut either!
I believe they want it as an example for their personal archives.
I'm guessing they'll probably put it on a special display of some kind, and regardless they're probably a little too old to ever really be a functional pair of boots considering the cracked leather.
Hard disagree. Most leathers only last a 100 years or so. If there was money to store then in a hard vacuum or some other storage method I'd agree. There's not so this is the best thing, and honestly these videos may actually become a really good historical source.
Why not try to restore the leather and do some more videos first? What's the rush? Those boots are sweet.
You’re watching the wrong channel…
Yep. They are only original once. 👍🏼
Cool Tee👕
I’ve had 2 pairs of back country’s and they’re top notch quality.
Holy smokes over $1K new. They’re almost as much as the Italian designer boots.
The boots Indiana Jones should have been wearing!
I wish RM would make more width options, like a EE for in stock boots.
They do, but you have to go in person for a custom fitting
Those are custom, I'm talking about the in stock boots. The in person fitting is a joke too, you should be able to send them your measurements.
@@s54bmwand they don’t do fittings at their store🤷🏻♂️. Not impressed with the interactions I had with them trying to get fitted for EE.
How do they compare width-wise to the Jim Green AR or BFAR last?
Can you please test the Rosenbauer Boros boots? They just put out a video less than 48 hours ago with some really cool looking boots
Def get a historian to join the channel for micro documentaries. Theres actually quiet a few PNW historians. Would be alot of fun....
Can you please do a review of QLTY’s moc toe boots. I’ve been looking for a pair of comfortable work boots because I walk all day at work and I need them to be all black for my uniform. And they’re the only decent ones I could find with a black wedge sole but I didn’t want to buy them without knowing how quality they really are so I’d really appreciate a review.
Are you gonna cut the old birdshooters and a new pair at the same time?
The vintage boots have a much nicer shape than your new ones. Better, more refined stitching and those beautiful soles. Don't cut 'em!
I have a pair of Russells love them dont cut that fantastic piece of history it would be a crime.
How about a collaboration with Russell for a barefoot outdoor workboot. I think that would be hard to beat.
The old ones looks a bit more dressy than the new ones. Nice boots really
Just be you, dude.
Very interesting, 1 would love to see a modern version of the old soles for 🏹 hunting.
Dont cut them in half!!!! If you have to then wear them for 9 months or longer at least.
please why this lost by cutting the boots why donot use x ray image or something like this to see the interior
Don’t cut the boots… take them to a MRI for scanning….
I wouldn’t cut those in half
Not sure what comment to leave here, but if I walk that far, my feet gonna hurt no matter WHOSE boots I wear?
Ohh yeah these will be alot more fun if you can get a historian to add some of the narrative and add some B Roll of historical footage. Nicks attempted to do this but the narrator Kid was awful at reading a script... A historian will be able to tell a story in real time...
Cutting those is criminal.
ffs dont cut them in half
I wish I wasn't skivved out by used boots, love the craftsmanship but whenever I see a nice pair at vintage shops I just can't buy something someone else had their feet in no matter how sterilized they are.
Just have to take the plunge lol. You won't get used to it till you start.
The Russells look nice and comfy... up here in Canada, we have far fewer makers of great quality footwear. Pity.
Regarding your affection for knives - I do like to carry a good knife, but Must warn your viewers about the negatives of carrying a knife, or any object that can be perceived as a weapon in Canada... If a policeman asks why you have a knife in your pocket, you're best to say you use it as a tool for work(opening boxes), and absolutely never say it's for in case you need it for self defense in a tough neighbourhood. That will then be called a weapon and the holder will be arrested. There is no self-defense in Canada! Now our customs officials are seizing and destroying every knife that has any sort of assisted opening, springs, gravity knives, push daggers, even knives with just a flipper on the blade, including thumb studs. Carrying today's knife would get that person arrested, tried and incarcerated, then deported and put on the "Never to come to Canada" list by our Border Protection Agency officials. So, if you come here, Beware of carrying a knife. Same is true for guns...
1st
You cannot even button it up or pretend to be professional for a moment. They told you to send it back and your initial selfish thought was “come on let me keep it 😨” Grow up.
I bought a pair of the Backcountry boots, based upon your assessment. The company has obviously went seriously downhill. The garbage clogs I received were so laughably bad - if they didn't cost $700, one could laugh about it that is. The QC is either extremely lackluster or the company takes the time to cautiously sift through their stock to send their best to social media influencers. I wouldn't recommend buying from this comapny to anyone I cared about.
That's a real shame I've heard several people online singing the company's praises. what was so bad about them? did you send them back?
@@joewellfair8238 The top stitching looked like someone with a head wound did them. They looked nothing like the ones Weston shows in his videos. His have a nice semicircular curve that follows the outline of the foot. Mine looked angular - like a triangle with the top 1/4 cut off. The stitch on the right foot looked identical to the one on the left. So the right toe looked like it was pointing away from the centerline of the wearer's body. One of the shoes was 1/2 inch wider than the other across the ball of the foot and about 1/4 inch narrower in the arch. But wait! There's more! The stitching was done so hamhandedly, that it actually chewed up a toe until it bled.
Russell Moccasin told me the boots couldn't be returned for exchange or refund. But they did offer to inspect them - which I declined outright. I ended up mailing them back to them, at my expense, and told them to keep them, as I refused to have them in my possession a day longer, and I was fully aware I wouldn't get a refund. A few days after they were returned, I got a full refund. Apparently, Russell Moccasin couldn't live with keeping the money. So they at the absolute minimum have that going for them.
thank you let everyone know what your experience was like paying $600-1000 for a pair of footwear just to have a bad experience . I had herd of Mark Albert and paid over $300 pair of shoe just to have soles come off 5 months with little wear if some you would said some thing i would not spent the money on them Thank you
@@johnversluis3084you're welcome. Companies, like Russell Moccasin, send top-tier examples of their stuff to be shown on social media, and then send their garbage to everyone else. The influencers make money, the companies make money, and the customer gets the shaft. It should also be noted that "handmade" does not equal "well-made". It really sucks to have the expectation of getting something wonderful, only to be sent something that makes you hate yourself for trusting someone who seems reputable. I should have learned my lesson on the ND3s. Was told 5 months to get them, but SEVEN months later, they still hadn't been made. At least Nick's made getting a refund easy. I won't buy anything Weston recommends or collaborates on again.
@@phraktl Wow it almost sounds like they accidentally sent you rejects. Glad you got your money back man.
first
Don't cut them! I'm sure you can find a pair of wrecked boots beyond repair that you can do your autopsy on. This is the one time doing nothing will please your subscribers more.
Don't cut them!
Your channel is about to cut boots but I feel this time is completely unnecessary we all know everything was better made long time ago so no need to cut them
LOL!!! Now owned by folks who actually killed the history, discontinued iconic models, discontinued their custom shop, transitioned to cheaper materials, but maintained and in some cases significantly raised the already super-premium prices. A customer since 1969 with my first pair of high-top Bird Shooters, discerning sportsmen like myself never cared that these iconic boots cost an arm and a leg; but that's when they were worth it; and would last ten, even twenty years or more. The current line-up of models are just barely worth half what they charge today........... when just about every custom maker in the business like White's, Adams, and even JK, will make boots for you, hand made at almost half the price. You can't even talk to these youngsters either; mention your concerns about the trajectory of the historic company and they'll delete your comments and your e-mail list account and/or ban you from their social media sites like they did to me for being so bold. Typical modern American business model; maximum revenue, with a minimum of production cost is all they are concerned with. They should pick up a pair Russell boots made in 1930 like these in the video, and see how many seconds it takes to embarrass themselves......... Trust me, I have a new pair, and they are quite a disappointment.
