Harrison Boot Redux

Typical high quality, materials, craftsmanship, and customer service from Rancourt.

I mean, look, I don’t typically spend $300 on anything except my car payment, but I had a years-long love affair with Rancourt boots on the internet. I’d look on the site and swoon and think, “Maybe one day, Rancourt, I will be able to justify spending that kind of scratch on footwear.”

Let’s face it though, I waste tons of money on crap I don’t need all the time, so when I finally made myself go to the shop in Lewiston, it was a foregone conclusion that I would buy some Rancourts.

The sales guy was nice and helpful, and helped me try on a few different pairs before I pulled the trigger. It’s nice to know that I can get them resoled right up the street when the time comes – which might be sooner rather than later, since I wear them every damn day.

Thanks for caring about quality, craftsmanship, and dope footwear. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase, and I’m looking forward to wearing these bad boys through the years.

Fit, comfort, materials and craftsmanship are fantastic. Pictures don’t do them justice.

I own Red Wings, Aldens, Quoddy, and others. The craftsmanship is equal to any of these brands, the comfort is unmatched.

Zero break in period throughout, the Reltex Lactae Hevea soles are like pillows.

This is my second pair of the same or very similar boot. The first was too big in terms of length and the 1/2 size smaller has overcome this. I went from EEE to EE and it is now a bit too narrow so I let the laces out and hope it stretches somewhat. I would really like to know if the Kudu on this boot is different from the rough out of the first, I think the leather is suede on the new boot and it doesn't feel quite as soft or as thick as the first boot which also included what was referred to as a mud guard and horse leather lining and this doesn't apply to the new boot. The lining has not been stitched close enough to the edge of the leather so If you are not careful, the edge of the lining can fold and I am going to try to glue the edges in place. The hand stitching on the new boot is very good.

I have heard a lot of people talking about how comfortable this sole was...but I finally ordered a pair and they were underselling it. It legitimately feels like walking on pillows. Fantastic pair!
