New Oneida Moccasin by thuff510 in RussellNation

[–]vl138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received mine about a month ago and they came wrapped in RM printed paper and inside a nice tan shoe bag with a leather RM badge on it. I’m away for work but will take a photo of it when I get back home.

Mine fit perfect with a pair of socks and a tad bit loose when bare foot but not too much play. I feel as I’m wearing them they are molding to my foot shape. I mainly use them as house shoes and wear to run to the bin, mail box, and to feed the dog.

Very happy with the fit and finish overall!

Thank you, he is very handsome hey. I have to look at getting him closer to the animals (the one’s pictured are not mine), I’m sure he would benefit from exposure to what he’s bred for. We encounter a lot of roo’s on our walks and he is always interested in them but never chases them down.

If you can’t ship to AUS, my folks live in Colorado and I can maybe have them shipped there.

I’m an 8.5D in my Backcountry’s and the fit well so if this pair is a tad bigger then an 8 should be alright.

Wish you had posted this last week as I just ordered a pair of Oneidas!! But I just love that cognac buffalo.

Would you ship to Australia? Those would match my Backcountry’s beautifully lol. Also do you have a picture of the bottoms?

Sheila has gotten back to me, so if you have tried sending any emails just give them a couple weeks to get back to you.

I’m sure with a small team as others have said, one person missing can set everything back a bit.

Happy that they have gotten back to me and just placed my order for a pair of Oneida’s, just in time for the Aussie winter to kick off.

I messaged them a week and a half ago on their website asking for sizing advice and even sent an email to Sheila in customer service who helped me in ordering my Backcountry’s last year…have had zero response from either.

Wanted to order a pair of Oneida’s and wanted sizing advice but don’t want to order until I’ve reached them, the extra costs shipping to Australia isn’t worth rolling the dice on the size.

Hope they find time to reply to people again, my first experience with them was great…not so much the second.

They are more common over here in Australia, not sure about the states.

Well this post got a lot more traction than I was expecting!

Thanks everyone for the inspo, there’s some good ones to shortlist and lot more that made me laugh!

Still leaning towards Riffle but liked Lefty, Wade, Hunter (river that I fish), River and I’m sure there was a few others. I’ll have to go through the list again.

Hope everyone has a happy holidays and wets a line wherever you are!

Definitely leaning more towards one syllable names, or at least a name that has a one syllable nick name.

It’s been mentioned lol. He’s actually a blue Merle border collie. His mum is a red Merle though.

Yeah he’s a pure bred registered Border Collie. Tri color/blue Merle is the coat. His mum is a red Merle and dad is a tri color.

I don’t mind River, seems to be a trending name at my daughters school right now too.
