Testing the water resistance of Russell Moccasin's Double Vamp Construction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Russell Moccasin boots like the Backcountry are created with a unique multi-layer moccasin construction found nowhere else in the world. This Double and Tripple vamp constructions were invented at Russell over a century ago, and are still preferred by outdoorsmen due to their unmatched durability, comfort, and water resistance. In this video we explore what that looks like. Without any Goretex or synthetic waterproofing layers, how water resistant can a Russell be? Watch to find out.

I just made a video the same as this one this morning. Testing my boots the same way. My video will be available next week on my channel. But the boots worked the same. Some moisture did enter. But my feet stayed dry. These are some great boots.
That's awesome! If you look at a cutaway of the boots on the Process page of our website it makes a lot of sense. Once you get above the inner vamp where it joins the quarters, there are needle holes that will allow water to seep through. Below that, it actually has to soak through both leather layers, which would take a very long time. Glad your are enjoying them and can't wait to see the video!
@@w.c.russellmoccasinco I watched your video explaining the boot construction today intact.
Great job on this! You made up my mind on spending $700 on these, worth it, thanks for the work you put into this.
Glad it was helpful!
For $700 they should be 100% water proof. I can buy 4 pairs of the Irish setter wing shooter boots that are 100% waterproof for the price of one of these! I’ve worn the same pair of WS since 2014 I’ve worn the soles nearly smooth still no leaks. You can by a $40 boot at Wallmart that only lets in “some” water lol
