I have three pair of Russell boots. Got my first pair 34 yrs ago. They are still going strong. My turkey hunters are 18 years old. Still with the original soles. Waterproof, comfortable as slippers. Best boots period. My buddy is probably on his sixth or seventh pair of boots since I got mine. Russell has all of their custom turkey boots on sale now at 20% off until December 31st with guaranteed delivery by March 1st, 2019. Pretty good deal
