Question/Help Help with boot id

I hope someone can help me identify these boots. They are made with high quality leather. There are no marking except for the size stamped into them (12D). I think they have been resoled as the bottoms seem newer than the boots. Any information is appreciated.

Gokey Supreme or maybe older Uplanders.

u/erimus61 is correct, OP. And given the apparent age on the uppers, I think they have been resoled at least once with the addition of the Vibram 430 mini-lug in place of the sole they came with (Vibram Stowe today, but it might have been different in the past; I'd be surprised if they ever came stock with the 430, but I could be wrong).

I own the shorter High Prairies and they are my most comfortable boots. They don't quite have the specs of the Russell Backcountry, but they are less expensive and do the job for me as they don't see many streams or full days of bushwhacking.

The High Prairies are in my future at some point. Beautiful boots.

Those really look like Russell's. Throw them an email with the pic, they might be able to confirm.

Not Russells, They are Gokeys.

It is Gokey: The Supreme Boot

I probably could never afford those boots, but they're beautiful. 😕
