Russell Boots, various styles.
The leather wraps completely around the foot in one piece for a slipper like comfort. since you are in the desert, a single vamp will be sufficient with a lightweight Vibram sole.
I have a pair of 'Birdshooter's with double vamp and pullons for bird hunting. Just great.
I also have a pair of PH Safari in full elephant.
Custom made to your feet, still made in Wisconsin in a small factory using 20th Century techniques by real people you can actually visit and talk to.
Many big companies have tried to purchase Russell but Ralph just won't sell.
All they would do is close the factory and move the production off0shore ruining a great brand and tradition.
I llive close enough to go to the factory for fit.
It's a real treat!-Richard Would that Ralph be Ralph Fabricius (sic)? I've had my pair of W.C. Russell Imperials for 25 years-along with a 20 year [pair of Gokey's- Any man who served in the Infantry will never scrimp on the fit and quality of his hunting footwear-and Russell boots are like an Armani suit-that great.
