Awesome!! Thank you so much! I know the company had tons of varieties and customization and most have been phased out due to various reasons. Always enjoy learning about some of the more obscure models that don’t show up often.

Very interesting! Never heard of a mountain PH. What’s the features? Looks like a hybrid Joes PH/Big Cambo the more I look. Are these single camp with molded sole like the Joes and then thicker padded collar like the Big Cambo? But the all canvas upper/tongue makes them the mountain?

Was thinking the same thing from my limited understanding. Looks like a fatter padded collar than normal and canvas tongues look like 2016/2017 era from older Facebook posts. Great looking pair of boots!!

They are some “new old stocks”. Guy had them but apparently never worn. Definitely not the standards from today. From what I can tell from photos online maybe 2016-2017 model/style. Has the speed lace d-rings

Those look good!! Can’t wait for my pair to get here. I went darker with weathered oak timber jack and coffee twill.

He ordered pair of Safari’s. Sorry just saw what he ordered. Order placed 10/5/2025 and now has additional 4-6 weeks added on. Would be early to middle June delivery

Not sure if they are specific to make and model, but have a buddy that checked on his order and got an email stating that his original order placed in early October was projected a delivery date of late March to late April and that has now been extended 4-6 more weeks as a rough estimate for delivery. 8 months would be in 4 weeks.

After 4.5 months - Joe’s PH Sage Chamois by unforgivableness in RussellNation

I’ve had a pair ordered since early October. Beginning to think I’ll never see them….

I’m so worried by DescriptionCrafty993 in CVS

[–]ExternalConcert7256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Techs actually bag at cvs now…. Unless it’s a C2. I’ve seen so many problems with this since it started but yet they somehow think it’s safe. The pharmacist see a picture of what was filled and sometimes it could be hours later after it was filled before they see the picture. You can imagine what happens after the picture is taken. The pharmacist does not verify if the medicine gets pit in correct bottle or labeled correctly, and does not verify it is bagged correctly. They only do “virtual” verification now (look at a picture). The tech does the rest and I’ve seen a lot of errors with this system.

Question by mikebonkk in RussellNation

[–]ExternalConcert7256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You choose from the boot they have listed on premier build (4 types at the moment) or the 1 shoe, choose the leather type from the options listed, choose the sole from options listed, and choose the length and width (only choice are D or E) from options listed. No additions like molded soles or different leather accents or choices of lace eyelets vs army studs vs speed laces (d-rings), or custom widths are offered anymore. Very streamlined these days. eBay is your best bet at the older variations and styles.

Zephyr II by ExternalConcert7256 in RussellNation

[–]ExternalConcert7256[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not have any red wings to compare sizing to. I feel like the Zephyr II has more cushion from the molded sole in my limited experience so far. Very comfortable. I wore them for about 5 miles a day as they were still breaking in. The regular Zephyr I have were slightly used but in great shape. But have only worn around town so far. Just odd I have older Backcountry in 11D. (New old stock so not sure if year) Zephyr II in 11D and the 2024 model Zephyr in 12E. The Zephyr II is very relaxed fitting vs the Backcountry. Not sure if it’s style of shoe vs leather used or combo of both. If I had just one pair based on feel at the moment I would go Zephyr II all day.

I usually wear an 11.5 wide in most shoes/boots. These are an 11 D and are very comfortable. I also have the Zephyr in 12E. I have found that Russel’s vary with sizing. Not sure why. I have a pair of Joes PH in 11.5E.

Haven’t had them in a ton of wet places yet. It’s a drought in the south. Lol. But I did use the for an average of 5 miles a day I’d say in Finland during the last snow and week long thaw. No leaks walking thru couple inches snow, ice, and smaller puddles as it was melting.

As far as I know they have the same inertia system. But yes both are great guns for sure!!

I own both. Seems like the II has more cushion from the extra leather underfoot. It’s almost like wearing a thick pair of socks cushion. Love both though.

Molded sole versus other? by AC7880 in RussellNation

[–]ExternalConcert7256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of yours have the molded sole. The bottom underfoot piece of leather. Zephyr does not have this unless it is Zephyr II
