Russell Moccasin Co. Backcountry

I put these boots to the test over the last month. I wore them everyday - hiked in them, hunted in them, collected firewood in them, wore them to the office, and everything in-between. Hunting season is over for me and winter is setting in for the next 5 months here at altitude in the Rockies. I suspect this is the extent of the scratches I'll see on the leather, but hope to continue to see some great patina develop. There was literally zero break in period. They wear different than PNW boots - you feel more in tune with the ground. I might just be a Mid-West Boot man now.
