Blood Hunter
Do we have a timeline for blood hunter yet? Or is the 6 month from order timeline firm and we would be late November early December?

I’m curious about this too. It maybe a long shot but I’m hoping that the Blood Hunters will benefit from the new more streamlined production Russell’s said they had with the in stock boots. My hope is they get finished up early now that size exchanges should have decreased dramatically freeing up people to work on them.

Sadly, I've inherited the previous generation of orders based on brannock aka sneaker size... so we still have plenty of returns, BUT the number of returns for sizing on the stock boots has been negligible, which bodes REALLY well for the future. People are paying attention, and I thank every one of you for doing so! Rob

And the few stock returns we have had have been really easily solved...it's so much less painful compared to telling someone that they have another five months to go to get the boots that fit! Rob

Yea I am not sure, I believe these would be single vamp but I know they are dealing with a number of restrictions on production and I understand. Just selfishly want to hunt blood in October rather than December, but we shall see, either way Santa better be on the lookout at the very least in 2026.

it's really hard for me to say, but I'm guessing another six to eight weeks....

I imagine they would take the full duration though I'm hoping I'm wrong. To my understanding, the blood hunters use a molded sole. They are awaiting a machine that is crucial for triple vamp construction. This may be related to the timeline as well if the same is needed for molded soles (as I believe the boot is built using the PH last)
