CUSTOM FITTED RUSSELL MOCCASIN HIGH COUNTRY EXTREME HUNTER BOOTS
The High Country Hunter Extreme is equipped with a new single piece Air Bob Sole that bridges the gap between the arch and the ball of the foot for added support and vastly improved longevity, plus an outside cleat pattern that helps stick to the mountain when side hilling. The Extreme is built with a True-Fit® fiberglass shank, (68% lighter than steel but equally strong), that solidifies the arch area and makes the boot more rigid for sure-footed traction. If you have ever stood on a 12” wide ledge at 14,000 feet and looked down...seeing that the first time you would bounce is 5,000 feet below...you will immediately understand the “walk anywhere, sure-footed traction” provided by the combination of the Air Bob sole and a rigid walking platform. For significantly more walking comfort during long tough during days in the mountains, a thick layer of Poron Technical Foam, (that doesn’t compress under walking pressure), is built into the bottom of the boot. The uppers of the High Country Hunter Extreme are lined in Turtleskin and leather...providing superb lower leg and ankle support and protection from jagged rocks. Double vamp, made in a fine grained wear resistant Ebbtide leather. Available in women’s sizes too. Value $567.00 Fully Donated by: Russell Moccasin Joe Gonyo New Berlin, WI (920) 361-2252
