\u003cli\u003eOriginally 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpdated 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold by Abercrombie \u0026amp; Fitch, Eddie Baur, and V,L\u0026amp;A of Chicago, the Bird Shooter found its way onto the feet of some of the most consequential individuals of the 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo pairs of this model are now housed in the Smithsonian Museums.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe second was worn for 2,050 miles by Earl Shaffer in 1948 when he became the first person to complete the Appalachian Trail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKing Edward VII wore a pair on safari with Denys Finch Hatton in the 1920's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe WWII hero \"Terrible\" Terry de la Mesa Allen wore a pair when he led Allied forces into Sicily and North Africa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePresident George Bush Sr. favored the Bird Shooter for hunting and hiking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdventure writers Robert Ruark and Bruce Chatwin wore the Bird Shooter collectively on every continent but Antarctica.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNearly all Russell lace up boots can trace their lineage to Gustin's Bird Shooter, including the Backcountry and PH models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttempts 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThere is a solid argument to be made that the Russell Bird Shooter is singularly the most accomplished boot model in History.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Bird Shooter is made with our famous Double Vamp Moccasin construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou can learn more about this unique two-layer moccasin construction on our Process page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe entire boot is leather lined for support and added water-resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Gustin is 9\" tall with Army Studs, top eyelet, and a pull loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA hand-molded oak leather heel counter makes the boot lock onto your foot for ultimate control and stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlease 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis typically takes 2-3 days of wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeathers \u0026amp; Sole Options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe differences between the leathers and soles we offer can help tailor the boot to your style or environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you would like to learn more about the specifics of these materials and their applications, follow these links:\u003c\/li\u003e\n
