Russell boots are overrated, theyre really no better than the other choices recommended here. Ive been wearing Russells off and on for 20 years and my sons have also worn them and worn them out. Ive had mixed results with having them made per my measurements and have had better luck buying them ready made off their website. Delivery time on custom orders is ridiculous and repairs are expensive. Stick with Red Wings or some of the other recommendations made here.
