Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Outdoor Activities
Other

I had been looking for a casual boot that is also competent for outdoor activities. Based on Russell moc's reputation, I thought these would be perfect

How I sized

Recommendation for Foot Shape

Big guess. I've used the scanner on Russells' website about 10 times and gotten between 10.5 and 12. So this was just a guess based on the availability of a good deal

Fit

Satisfied with the Fit
Toes Too Roomy
Too Much Volume

In trying on, it is a little long and a little narrow. I think I'm gonna try a kilte on these. The last isn't very shapely. Pretty rectangular

The construction is fine.

Sole & heel

Traction
Comfort

It is very light and has very good traction. But it also doesn't have any support.

Final thoughts

Other

I don't believe these are made to the same standards to the main line RM as they're a smu for a store. I won't wear these on a serious hike. I'll just wear them around town. They're fine and I'm happy for the price I paid. Had I paid $700-800 or whatever new RM'S cost, I'd be disappointed.
