RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[EdoubleD]

If you message them they can get you most sizes. I messaged them and they said basically go in rm Williams website and choose a boot you want! I’ve orderd another pair on burnished and cc in dark tan. They are almost a week late on delivery but should be with me tomorow!

I’m not fussed on the late delivery considering the prices I paid!

Whaaat how can they do that? They must be making some crazy margins if they're gonna offer size restocks...

I did miss out on the tan suede version so went with black suede. No harm no foul

Pretty sure it's UK sizing since Collier Bristow is a UK site, but can anyone confirm?

Thanks! Just got a pair of the chestnut craftsman. Between this and the Harrod's deal, in the span of a month I've gotten the black and chestnut Craftsman for $540! Sacrificed the comfort sole but I'm excited to put these two to work.

Tremendous work! I got the Chinchilla, Chestnut and Brown Suede for £540 so to add to my kangaroo off eBay (new) for £220 (thanks to a promo code too) managed to get a nice collection for £760!

Much prefer the practicality of the comforts but leather are very comfy as well.

Has anyone got the garden set and comfort crasftman? If so how to they compare for fit?

I jsut tried on the gardener in 11h and fits perfect, wondering if I could get the Cc in the same size?

I current have the cc in 11.5h and it’s jsut a tiny bit loose now they are well worn in

Was wondering re the care on the burnished boots. Says neutral polish only no conditioner ?
I find that odd as conditioner is a must with boots in my opinion

It’s because the burnishing will be removed by the conditioner.

Thats what concerns me though, they can`t be conditioned. I think boots crease badly as it is its the conditioner that helps reduce this. Wonder if trees would help does anyone know where to buy trees for RM`s Thanks in advance

Ooof. Just got the suede black craftsmans. Not very happy with the suede...feels rough and not as thick as my 4yr old comfort craftsman. Def not as nice as the suede on my Alfred Sargent chelsea, also in black. Will take some more comparison pics and try to show it in more detail

 

[BROWNSOUND]

Is it me or does that leather upper look thinner than usual?

Perhaps this is finally the LVMH changes coming onto the market

It wouldn’t surprise me! Pretty sure you could grantee the boots are not as durable as nose made 5/10/15 years ago!

Think it’s the same with a lot of conpanies theses days. If they can shave 1/2mm of leather off over all their products their margins would sky rocket

I'm gonna do some comparison pics and post them up. Tbh I'm half a mind to just return them even though they were a great deal
