Gustin Bird Shooter Premier Build
DESCRIPTION
- The Boot
- Originally called the Mascoutin, after the tribe of Indians that inhabited the Fox River Valley, the Bird Shooter model is one of our longest running patterns.
- Updated in the late 1920's by Russell's President, Bill Gustin, the Bird Shooter was marketed to the outdoor community with great success in the subsequent decades.
- Sold by Abercrombie & Fitch, Eddie Baur, and V,L&A of Chicago, the Bird Shooter found its way onto the feet of some of the most consequential individuals of the 20th century.
- Two pairs of this model are now housed in the Smithsonian Museums.
- One is a pair worn by Wiley Post who was the first man to fly to the Stratosphere in a fixed wing aircraft, pioneering the use of pressure suits.
- The second was worn for 2,050 miles by Earl Shaffer in 1948 when he became the first person to complete the Appalachian Trail.
- King Edward VII wore a pair on safari with Denys Finch Hatton in the 1920's.
- The WWII hero "Terrible" Terry de la Mesa Allen wore a pair when he led Allied forces into Sicily and North Africa.
- President George Bush Sr. favored the Bird Shooter for hunting and hiking.
- Adventure writers Robert Ruark and Bruce Chatwin wore the Bird Shooter collectively on every continent but Antarctica.
- Nearly all Russell lace up boots can trace their lineage to Gustin's Bird Shooter, including the Backcountry and PH models.
- Attempts to copy the iconic lines and aesthetic of the Bird Shooter have persisted for decades, but the unique performance and craftsmanship has never been replicated.
- There is a solid argument to be made that the Russell Bird Shooter is singularly the most accomplished boot model in History.
- The Construction
- The Bird Shooter is made with our famous Double Vamp Moccasin construction.
- You can learn more about this unique two-layer moccasin construction on our Process page.
- The entire boot is leather lined for support and added water-resistance.
- The Gustin is 9" tall with Army Studs, top eyelet, and a pull loop.
- A hand-molded oak leather heel counter makes the boot lock onto your foot for ultimate control and stability.
- Please note that the boot itself takes very little break in, but there may be a short break in period for the heel counter to mold itself to your heel shape.
- This typically takes 2-3 days of wear.
- Leathers & Sole Options
- The differences between the leathers and soles we offer can help tailor the boot to your style or environment.
