Russell Moccasin Co. – A WWA 2019 Bronze Level Sponsor!
By Bruce Ross, Executive Director
In the fall when I’m not not duck hunting, I’m frequently found wandering the north woods flushing (and usually missing) grouse. Or pushing through North Dakota CRP fields, trying to keep my dogs close so that rooster they’re trailing flushes in range. These hours afield equate to many miles on my feet. I’ve gone through a lot of boots and spent many hundreds – probably thousands – of dollars to replace them after they’ve worn out in 3 to 5 years.
But last year I started hearing about Russell Moccasin hunting boots. Custom made boots – what a crazy idea in today’s age of mass production – that should last a lifetime and be handed down to our children! I visited the Russell Moccasin workshop in Berlin, WI a few months ago, and saw the purpose-built machines operated by the handful of craftsmen and women who dedicate their lives to craft each shoe or boot to the client’s individual characteristics and tastes.
And when I’m selling UTV tickets, I’m quick to point to the Russell Moccasin “consolation” prize, describing the built-to-your-foot customization that has garnered a cult-like brand following around the world – and based on that observation, I frequently “close the sale”!
Russell moccasin has closed the deal with me. I’ve decided my feet warrant the same level of quality I make in my shooting irons and clothes, and all the other equipment that allows me to enjoy the outdoors. And by the way, my next pair of loafers will come from them too! Check ‘em out: http://russellmoccasin.com/.
