leaky Russell Moccasin boots - 04/21/11
I have ordered 3 pair of Russell boots over the years. They are guaranteed not to leak. My 1st pair were their High Country Sheep Hunter boots ordered in 1994 I believe. Those boots leaked at the bottom of the tongue. My second pair were ordered in 1998 I think. Those were basically the same boot except 10" tall with no insulation instead of 14" tall with insulation. The 2nd pair also had some upgrades but they still leaked in the same area. Last July I ordered their Grand Slam Sheep Hunter boots with toe cap and poron insert and additional Water-Loc taped seams but when they arrived in December I found that they also leaked in the same area. I have long narrow feet and I pronate and have never had any luck buying off the shelf boots so I have gone the custom made to my measurement route. I like the fit and the life span of these Russell boots but sure have been disappointed in the fact that all 3 pair have leaked.
Here is my question- has anyone of you all ever had a pair of Russell Moccasin boots that have not leaked? They have offered to make me another pair but I just do not have much confidence that they can make boots that are waterproof. Thanks, Rufous.
