How do you Russel fans keep the stitching that holds the moccasin sole to the main boot leather from wearing off? That stitching wouldn't last me a week in the heavy brush, especially around the toe. I rub aquaseal into all boot stitching to try to keep it from wearing off. Some heavy mountaineering boots USED to have shallow slits cut between the stitching holes so that the stitching was below the leather surface and not exposed where it would wear on the rocks. That worked very well.
