    a lot of people forget that price is also about the time that it takes to get a job well done
    I've seem people try to cheap out on construction cost by going to the cheapest construction workers resulting in jobs done half-assed because the guy rushed everything, while good professional workers take their time to properly plan and do their jobs to ensure quality and safety

    *There's hate in the comments that dont make any sense lol 😅! The level of work should be appreciated! The company isn't dead. If you watched the video, you'll know why it's very much alive. They won't squish your toes. He did say this is the Munson last being used to help for more spread of the feet. The company has also made zero drop shoes in the past. People are forgetting to realize how much handmade work is going into these boots! Really? Someone is hating on the fact that Weston notes that a "small team" is a factor in the price? He isn't a sizist (as the person claims lol 😅). He simply stated how it's a small team making boots. The company has people who have taken years for their skills. So the company cares about having high quality made boots. So having very skilled skilled staff is essential. I feel like some of the people in the comments section aren't recognizing the talent that goes into the making of these boots. The staff really need to know what they're doing, in order to craft high quality boots. Russell Moccasin cares about having very comfortable boots, and wants to carry on their legacy of their lengthy process. There's nothing wrong with it. That's just what they do and what they want to keep doing 😊!*
    *If you hate the price and don't like the boots, then don't get them. Simple lol 😅! No one js forcing you to buy them. Go and find a pair of boots to your liking.*

    Another great video Weston. Keep ‘em coming please. I own a pair of Russell boots that my grandfather bought 40+ years ago. I wear them when I shoot clays. They are very waterproof especially for not having any fancy modern synthetic crap. They are the most comfortable pair of boots in my collection of Red Wing Heritage, Wolverine 1000 Mile & Rancourt boots.

    My Russell Moccasin boots from the mid 1980's have the same moc toe stitch all the way to the back on both sides. I wonder when they switched to the flat stitching on the sides of the boots shown in the video. As a side note, my boots are still going strong 40 years later.

    Love seeing the care put into a hand-made moc-toe like this! I'd love to see you cut a Parkhurst boot. They review well and seem to make a good entry-mid level boot for those who want style similar to Grant Stone with a bit more robust build. There's also some conflicting info between their website and Bootlosophy, so I'd love to see the true components of a Parkhurst boot in 2024

    I got away from moccasin toe boots when I started riding and racing motorcycles. Shift levers destroy moc toes. The price is high but the quality justifies it. Hope they can make it in this market.

    I know that it is not the topic today. However, I wanted to thank you for your review of the CAT Second Shift work boot. I purchased the steel toe model. With heel inserts, just great. Being retired, I wear heavy work boots almost all day. Wearing solid work boots does work on the cardio as well, if not better, than wearing $300 sneakers when doing the daily exercises.

    @scalwi 20 днів тому

    I would love to see these compared against boots from Rancourt and Quoddy. Not everything that both of those companies make is true moccasin construction, but I believe they both make boots that are full moccasin. I have some shoes from both companies that are very comfortable and that have held up well, but they aren't made to be "rugged." I'd be curious to see their boots that are intended for outdoor use put up against these Russells (which look absolutely awesome!)

  • @jj4483love

    Leatherboard has always been a good building material. It's why all the greatest shoe builders around the world use it. Would a fine Italian chef use fully intact chunks of steak for meatballs? Or would he grind the steak to give it a better texture? Everybody is sending their perfectly good meatballs back to the kitchen claiming that they want full grain meatballs.

    I have a pair of moccasin style loafers from Vinny’s but they cost me significantly less than this boot. I assume they aren’t made in America but still wondering what else makes it different..

    To be honest, these were first boots I didn't want to be ripped apart.

    I had a pair of Rocky boots called Outback that look just like these boots. They were waterproof and lasted almost two years in the railyard where I worked. Even if these boots lasted just as long what are you willing to spend for a boot?

    What about Gokey?? There are several other manufacturers of true moccasin boots.
    I have two pair of Russell’s. They are truly great but they’re pricing them selves out in my opinion. Just a few years ago they were in the $4-$500 range and now they’ve almost doubled.

      Right. That’s what happens when a company gets bought and “restructured”. Like Whites

    "LAST BASTION" would be a great name for a boot company.

    Are Gokey boots out of Tipton MO made this same way?

    Curious how they dial in your shoe size before you place the order? Would hate to spend the money and they don’t fi't perfectly?
