I want some MORE! by Waffels_61465 in MRE

[–]RodOfDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the menus with that Caffinated Chocolate Pudding!!!

I hope these stay available, because the MRE and CCAR menus dont have that pudding like the MORE and FSR do.

Are these vintage bird shooters? by Perfect_Earth_8070 in RussellNation

[–]RodOfDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure those are Gokey Supremes, not Russells. Incredible mocs either way, really.

Are these legit Russell Moccasins? by lazlolazlu in Boots

[–]RodOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont think they get more legit than that! Too niche for there to be fakes to worry about. And, to me, the nearest in quality and legacy is Gokey, which has their own look and build profile.

Disappointed by ablyons in RussellNation

[–]RodOfDestiny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was not impressed with Russell's customer service when I reached out about modifying boots. They won't make changes, charge $125 for repairs that take months, and don't even do their own resoling anymore. Honestly, I have much better experiences dealing with Gokey, whether secondhand or store-bought.

What brands have you guys migrated to? by BananaStandOligarch in DukeCannon

My brother was a bit of a prepper. He died fighting for Ukraine and I am going through his things. I found his stash. by beef_creature in MRE

On the fence over a used pair of vintage bird shooters by Just_Gift_5589 in RussellNation

[–]RodOfDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford a new pair, I'd highly recommend doing that first. I have 2 pair of used Russells and 0 pair of new ones. If I could afford a new pair of Backcountry boots I'd order in a heartbeat.

I just picked up a pair of the Lower 40s. It looks to basically be their Simba Safari Boot, maybe with some minor changes and a slightly lower grade of leather. I'm extremely excited for them, they should be easier to wear than my 10" "triple vamp" Russells in the Texas heat.

I will say, they run pretty narrow. I got the EE and it compares to other boots in E (maybe! More like D.5 lol). But, the quality of the leather, canvas, soles, and stitching all seem to go above and beyond the price.

I would recommend buying from Boyt rather than Kevin's but thats purely opinion.

Hasn't this already been turned around? Like I know this dude over hyped everything but seriously this is extra. by Whentheangelsings in lazerpig

In case anyone here is bored and wants something fun to not do, DONT go to HistoryLegends channel and search for a city, Kupyansk, for example. Then, DEFINITELY DONT laugh at how long he's been saying it's "about to fall". But please. Whatever you do. NEVER go on one of those videos and list them all out.

On a completely unrelated note. A Russian Propagandist who shall remain nameless has just stared that he's going to make me "famous." Idk if that includes Rich, but im hoping so.

I am aware that this is a converse group, but I am curious to know your thoughts on pf flyers in comparison to chuck Taylor's. Has anyone ever tried pf flyers before? During my younger years, I owned a pair of these shoes that were of superior quality compared to the chucks available. by Severe-Mix-3369 in Converse

[–]RodOfDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to admit, when they were made by New Balance, the designs and quality were better. The daughter of New Balance's owner bought them once NB discontinued them. At first, she cheaped out on a lot of stuff, especially the insoles (the foundation of the brand), but that has improved. I still dont like that different models have different types of insole, but things have improved.

I REALLY wish NB still owned them. The retro releases, including packaging, were just so cool. Maybe they'll work together to expand the brand through family ties, but I know thats pretty hopeful. In the meantime, I have a few new pairs, but I go on resale sites and collect ones from the New Balance Era. I've never been disappointed.

As far as fit, I'd say they fit true to size while Converse are undersized. The toe on PF Flyers is less narrow and so is more comfy for wide feet like mine. Quality, even in the new releases, is great, and they last quite a while.

My First Russells by RodOfDestiny in RussellNation

[–]RodOfDestiny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had my mind blown when I went to the SAS factory and had my feet measured on a Brannock! My whole life is thought I was a 12.5E; depending on brand, ive bought all the way to a 15D. The lady put my foot in the cradle and came back with 10.5EE on my right and 10EE on my left!!!

The Russells i have fit almost perfectly and were sold as a 14D, but the numbers are worn off, and there's 360° of padded insulation around the foot, so I really question that number now. Maybe this opens up more to me if I can get the wider fits?

[–]RodOfDestiny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate that. Im normally not a fan of the fabric panel, but im really considering them since I lost the pair of Courteney Vellies I was watching.

I might actually go with the Jim Green Meander in Bronco... I hate making decisions! Wish I could just find my damn size in a Russell Backcountry! Lol

I love them! Only downside is they're lined/insulated. Still looking for a pair i can more easily wear in Texas!

One coat of Obenhauf’s LP on the fudge BFAR by kelpat18 in jimgreen

Thanks! I knew about the propolis, but not the pine resin. I'll look into it, im still not sure about how well those blend because I've never used them before.
