RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[Snorpley]

Their oily black distressed leather. Someone on these boards had more or less a similar shoe MTO in black suede though. Looked great - go back a few pages and you'll find me quoting it.

Ha, Mykii I think that might be me!
Those are a fantastic pickup. I haven't seen that combo ever!

All the best,
S.

Anyone know if a black suede option is still available on comfort craftsman?

I think so, yes. Ahume have them. Bootsonline have confirmed to me that they can do suede on the Dynamic Flex sole also.

Thanks!

What's the consensus on comfort craftsman vs dynamic flex?

 

[Blake Stitched Blues]

I'm not sure. I'm holding off on ordering the DF until I get the chance to try one on in person. The regular Comfort Craftsman fits me well and I'm concerned the padded insert in the DF might make things a little too snug.

Still waiting for mine to arrive.

Well, they arrived yesterday while I was at work. Longest day ever knowing that they were at home waiting!

^great boots, enjoy them.

It seems there are many more options to RMW today, then when I first bought a pair of gardeners. I assume this is the LVMH impact on the business?

While many are aesthetics, I wonder as I look for my next pair, which are functional benefits. I like the 360 welt but, I don't believe that adds a difference on what is already a Goodyear welt. Same I guess for the 270 welt to heel. plus somewhere I read that the 360 welts are not made in Australia. The Nubuck skins I saw in the prior fall line also add a lot of great new color depth to the line.

THANKS for listening.

Does anyone know if any places have a classic craftsman in roughout?

Just had a family member pickup 2 x RM boots (Comfort Craftsman for me, Adelaide for the wife) from a clearance store in Australia for the grand total of $370 USD. Shipping is going to be crippling, but damn am I not satisfied with a bargain like that!

Well you gotta share where!

RM William's outlet at Harbor Town on the Gold Coast. Standard pricing for the outlets. There were only 2 shoes in stock in my very normal 9G size apparently, so the mens stuff seems to fly off the shelves irrespective of model. Wife got a nice pair of Adelaides. It looks like the pair picked for me may be a rarer seasonal color from 2013. The only pictures I can find of the boot have been on Pinterest (all the same picture) and a picture posted on page 235 of this thread, from 2014. The shoe had no box, unlike every other shoe in the store apparently, so I'm curious to get them in hand!
