Bronze Chamois Backcountry ^Sale

This was my first pair of Russell's, so I wasn't sure what to expect. One I got them in hand and on my feet, I immediately knew they were keepers. Seriously. Somehow, they are more comfortable than my "go-to" adidas Ultraboost. I am a 10D Brannock, wear 10.5 Adidas and most Nike and wear 9.5D John Lofgren. The recommended 9.5D was spot on. Do yourself a favor and try these! Only your wife and wallet will regret it.

Right out of the box you can feel and even smell the quality of the leather. With new boots, you would think there is a break-in period and suffering through it. I was surprised there was no break-in period and the comfort level right out of the box is amazing. I used the sizing tool which told me to order 11D and it was spot on. Last but not least, the lactae sole is more quiet than sneakers but provides comfort like sneakers. Can't recommend this boot enough

Chose these as my first traditional-made moc. The lactae sole reminded me of a desert boot and had me interested. I was heavily eying the traditional build with the lug sole but I have too many boots with vibram units or 100's. These have a certain "bounce" to them like many modern sneakers but being built like tanks. I'm a 12.5E Left/12.25EE Right and took the 12E's. With medium wool socks they are perfect. Might try some PH's next.

I am a 12.5 Brannock and typically wear 12 or 12.5 in boots. Occasionally a 13 with an insert. These I went with 11.5D. Fit is snug but good. Boots are light and comfortable. Leather is thick but not stiff. Love Lactae Havea soles. I originally had the Safari sent out in 12D but it was just too big. Am very happy with these Backcountry instead. Just as light and a little more rugged.

I used the online fitting tool and was originally skeptical as I am typically a 10, but was told to buy 9D. Went ahead with the purchase and it is as if they are 90% customized to my foot. It took 2 or three long walks before they totally conformed, but now I cannot take them off. From long days of work to hikes, to hunts, I simply cannot get enough!
