High Fashion Mountaineering Boots...

[blackgrass]

I had a pair of Filson Uplander boots that were hard to get my foot in and out of...even totally unlaced....they had a pretty soft leather lining and eventually I wore through that while getting in and out of them...Just a heads up. Not sure if the Russells are lined in such a manner or not.

At any rate...congrat. Classic boots...nice review. I'm jealous.

Cali, great looking boots there!

[broneck]

still kind find any non-japanese shorts for winter-wear. . .am i retarded?

yes

no

maybe

doesn't matter, help me out!

Great thread people.

About the packaging of the Russells: I wouldn't mind that box either.

On the contrary: I tend to like it better than yet another exercise in expensive branding. We are constantly being bombarded with marketing and packaging bogus that distracts from the products themselves. Not here. To me, that plain box says "no bells and whistles, these boots speak for themselves".

Agree with the packaging. I'd rather them put the money into the boots personally.

One of my favorite old shops used to wrap up your purchase in brown kraft paper and tie it with twine. That was one of the best parts about shopping there.

Canadians get bored of wearing seal skin and polar bear fur all the time.

It appears so, but I have seen vintage suede ones on ebay before. Their factory store carries some of the japanese stock, but they don't ship and you'll need a proxy, plus the sizes/stock seems to be limited.

I'll have what he's having

[heBAY]

I'm not drunk. Two things.

I'm still set on some Limmer Light-Weights...but I was wondering if anyone here knows much about Alico Summit boots (I posted them a few pages back). I've read some good things about them...one being that they are tough, yet require barely any break-in (comfortable out the box). Also, where the fuck can you get a pair in the US? Sierra has been the only spot online where I've seen 'em...yet they don't have stock at the moment.

2nd. Let's talk laces. Heavy, bright-colored jawns. This being dropped after RBW's lace post. Do I have to be Japanese again? I need some electric blue stealth orange canary yellow and eggplant wizard purple multi-striped brain mashing glowworms colliding into people's optical lenses. Please.

I'ma try to contribute ...sad links ahead:

I haven't seen Alico boots for us retailers other sierra trading post.

you can try mailing the people from alico to ask for stockists, the website is in english, so maybe they can respond you in english.

[bryanayrb]

Hare.. dunno how long they'll last you though =P

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Bottom ones are tolerable. The profile is a little to slim for my liking though...

[Servo2000]

Also, they're Hare.

[~Stangzorized~]

Anyone put a different insole in their RW 875's? Last winter I got like 50 calluses.. want to try and avoid that this winter with something more comfortable.

[grilled cheese]

^ superfeet, my dude. that's all you need, just drop them in (easier if your boots are a little roomier).
