Gentlemen: I hope this is not going too far off topic...... Don't jump to conclusion and think I am posting something that should be in the For Sale threads, because a sale is not my goal...and I hope no one takes offence at my offer....
I have a pair of Russell Moccasin boots in the "McIntosh Bird Shooter" configuration. Size 12.5 C. They are not my "cup of tea" simply they don't really meet the requirements of footwear on my ranch....
They are double vamp, padded top,like new soles, made without heel counters. One could get on their site and get the details etc,. and see photos....
I will gladly send them along gratis to anyone here that can use them or might have a friend or hopefully a newer /younger shooter of their acquaintance that would benefit from some footwear.
I have had them for 3+ seasons and not tried them on in 2 years....I can see them for South American shooting like Mr. M mentioned in his endorsement or, in the upper Mid West Grouse woods that I recall from past years...
If width is a question let me confirm what Russell points out in their catalog....Just because you normally wear a D width for instance you may well wear a C or even B in their products.
I shot this morning in Irish Setter 13 D boots and I feel the Russell's are even wider.....
Enough time on non Double gun matters..... Let me know if anyone is interested in them....

No thanks, but I will stick with my green Browning field boots. Had them for years and put a few more miles on them this past Friday; they are still the best bird hunting boots that I have ever owned.

What I thoughtful gesture. Well done Paul.
FWIW, I wear boots 12hrs plus every day year round. Technology has advanced. Old designs just can't cut it for me.
Molded footbeds are where it's at.
Mocassin toes are passe'. At least molded toe caps will make it through a season walking prairie grass.
Just like guns, there are "club boots", and using boots.
I'm wearing Doc Marten's Corvids in great comfort these days. I've walked over 220 measured miles in them since Dec 10, 2017, on polished concrete, with limited foot discomfort. (Composite toe isn't a perfect choice on concrete)

To those who responded via PM, Jeremy who posted here in the thread was the first PM asking for them.
I'll head them his way this week. I hope he wears them many Happy miles with gun and dog.....

That was more than kind. I still wear various versions of Red Wing Irish Setters, have for years. The last pair I bought were a chuka style boot, because after nearly 50 years of doing it, I've learned I can simply turn around instead of finding out how deep the water is, and how far it will go over my boots. They may be the most comfortable pair of boots I've ever owned. I also have a ten inch pair for when I know it is going to be wetter. And a set of Red Ball rubber boots, for when I find out the hard way it is going to be wetter. Use the boots in good health.
Best, Ted
