US Men's Brannock: 9.5D
Unknown Last: 9D
I should’ve gone a full size down from Brannock. These are only 1/2 down. They still work perfectly well, though. The laces and the pliable uppers allow me to get a perfectly snug grip with no heel slip or discomfort.

These are the boots I reach for when I know I’ve got hard wearing ahead. Hiking, camping, or just working in the yard.

Love this sole. Somehow both squishy and tough at the same time. Doesn’t make sense, but they’ve held up through two years of hiking and other wear. Great ground feel. Super comfortable. Great traction, even on wet pavement.

Russell Moccasin Zephyr Balderas in SB Foot Roughout Pecos ChamoisBy grantini • April 5, 2026"I got these boots specifically to wear hunting quail in the south, which I never managed to do this year. I did however wear them for several days of grouse hunting in New York and Vermont. Those days were particularly wet and or snowy. They also spent a few days in our Pennsylvania dove field. Other than that, they just got every shit detail that called for wearing boots. Oh, they also made the trip to Berlin, WI and to Boot Camp!..."Read the full review
