Some People like Fords, Some People like Chevys and some like Dodges.
For myself, for a general 3 season outdoor boot I like Russels. I have a pair that my father inherited from his uncle who passed away in about 1948. They were sent back to the factory to be restitched 3 years ago. Although they are old I still use them on occasion. My basic boots are a pair I purchased at the Spring Southern 2 years ago. They are great for general outdoor use. I would not like to climb mountains, go duck hunting or into combat with them but for general outdoor use they can't be beat.
