Avid outdoorsman, Bill Gustin purchased the W.C. Russell Moccasin Company in 1928 and directed its fortunes for 55 of its 108 years. During his tenure, Gustin designed and introduced the famous Russell Birdshooter and a host of oxfords, loafers and casual shoes, many of which are still made today.
The name W.C. Russell Moccasin has been synonymous with quality for more than 108 years. Gustin often displayed his company's handmade product at the largest sports shows in the country.
Russell's gifted craftsmen tend to stay a long time at Russell, says company president Ralph Fabricius, which is how we maintain our quality and satisfaction level with our customers you don't just teach somebody off the street how to become a master boot maker overnight it takes time.
The Advantages of Being a Small Company
Russell has never grown into a large multinational marketer of theme-type footwear preferring to remain small and turn out the finest handmade product possible for a unique group of outdoorsmen and women those who recognize the quality of a handmade product. If we were larger in size and scope, we simply could not do the kinds of things we do. In order to respond to specialized demands, we must maintain a close knit group of highly skilled craftsmen. Mass production techniques are simply not possible.
Who is a Russell Customer?
bucks.gifYou if you recognize quality. So is your wife. Hard to fit outdoorsmen who sport very narrow, very wide, very large or very small feet are too. Add too, the outdoorsman who wants the very best money can buy. Luminaries like President George H.W. Bush, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Norman Schwarzkopf, the King of Nepal, Harrison Ford and Robert Redford are customers. Avid hunters, professional hunters and guides who demand the best in mountain footwear, safari shoes, birdhunting boots are as are men and women of all walks of life who know the value of high quality, comfortable, custom fitted shoes and boots.
What Happens if You Try a Pair of Russells?
This is the dangerous part. Many an outdoorsman and woman has tried a pair of Russell's but once having tried a Russell boot or shoe, nothing else willl do. It's a problem to be sure, because once you've worn Russells and put them to a true test hunting the high country playing 1,008 holes of golf birdhunting endless miles of tall grass prairie or wearing them on a 28-day African safari there is nothing else. There are no other choices.

The following is a reply from Russell Moccasin to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"
Our footwear is all made here in Berlin, Wisconsin.
How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.
We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.
To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.
What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.
Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
