1) These really are excellent people. Im glad to give them my business. You can go buy from a box store or you can purchase from legitimate salt of the earth people who *actually care* about craftsmanship and customer service. Easy decision and I will be recommending them to my friends. > also, take pride in purchasing from a business that is 100% American made.
2) I purchased a pair from their website and have been 100% satisfied with their product. I am about to purchase a second pair

The customer service is okay, but it isn't anything too fantastic. With that being said, the shoes that I ordered fit perfectly the first shipment (other reviews have not said so). I would recommend getting leather honey branded leather cleaner and conditioner, this has served me well over the 1 year that I've had these.

For many businesses, on line reviews tend to be rather unfair. For for custom or specialty items, reviews are rarely posted by satisfied customers; They are often posted by those who are dissatisfied, for reasons often of misunderstanding rather than real issues. Russell Moccasin is a shoe factory, not a retain store, one cannot hold it to the same standard as Payless shoes or Walmart. one goes to Russell for custom fit, hand crafted footwear. I went to Russell Moccasin Co. about 5 years ago and bought a pair of boots. I have worn them every day since and other than an occasional oil treatment

Bought two pair of shoes over 20 years ago. Those shoes are the best fitting and most comfortable I have ever worn. The fit is perfect, and considering I have a narrow heel, this alone is an accomplishment. I am still wearing them, although I will need to get them resoled in the not-to-distant future. I try to keep them clean and oiled, and just wish I had bought a pair of hunting boots also, because the cost has gone up quite a bit. I would highly recommend them for their fit and durability. Great products.

Hands down the best shoes on the market. Get your measurements right and you've got reliable shoes forever. Customer service is top notch; they will spend tons of time making sure they have the details right with every pair. Love this place and thanks for the great shoes! Small business doing things the old school way!
