Today my wife and I drove down to Berlin Wisconsin to visit the "showroom" and get measured for new boots at Russell's. The factory was older and smaller than I imagined and full of friendly busy people doing what they have done for a long time. We each got special annotations on our foot diagrams, me for a growing bunion and Barb for a little toe she broke as a child- so our boots will fit our individual foot foibles as well as our idvividual foot sizes (for me, R>L).

This company sybolizes so many things that were right about the world I saw as a child. They deserve our support.

I hope you have better luck with them than I did. They measured my feet, etc at that same factory some years back and, after a few months, sent me a pair of boots that fit fine......if you wore 2 pairs of socks on the left foot and 4 on the right. Nice people, they refunded my money when I returned the boots and I hope my problem was just an aberration.

I wear Russell's just about every day of my life. I LOVE Russell boots, plain and simple.

But I've had problems myself before with them. I've had them come in too big, and I've had them come in too small. Most of the time, they're just right. A few years ago, I had two pairs of Imperials made that were just too tight through the toes. I sent them back, Russell relasted them, and they fit perfectly.

The folks at Russell asked me which pair of their boots fit me best. I told them about an old pair of Imperials in French veal leather. They looked those boots up, and assigned a new pair of Safari Mountain PH boots I ordered to the same crafstman that made those old Imperials. When the Safari PH boots were delievered, they fit perfectly -- just like those ancient Imperials.

So that's my tip about Russell: Once you get a pair that fits to your total satisfaction, make sure the same person builds your next pair.

No matter what, I've never known Russell to not make things right........

My experience has been the same. Most times they fit like a glove except sometimes they don't. They will make it good or give your money back.

My first pair lasted 30+ years. Last pair fit great. Am very sorry that I didn't buy more from them along the way. They're great folks.

Gatogardo,, Send them back. Tehy will make them right. I am having my third pair made.

They are the very best

My PH II's are hard to put on (tight at the ankle) but fit like a glove once I get past that bottleneck.

I ended up getting mine from Cabela's...I know that may not have been the best way, but I only had $75.00 out of pocket. I got them with some rebates and points from booking my flight to Namibia. I think they are really comfortable with the proper socks. I might have picked a different sole rather than the huez, but I can always change that later. I'll end up buying another pair from the factory later on. The break in time seems to be nothing. After a couple of days wearing them at home and in the office they fit like a glove. Thanks to everyone here recommending them, I ended up with a fine pair of boots.
