Slightly off-topic: is the 50% off at CB a one-time deal? They told me (@ Oct 2nd) there was still 1 week left, but it didn't work.

Also (which is the main reason me being skeptical), how can they sell RMW for so little? After discount it's £180 ex VAT shipped to Norway -- and my local store sell RMW for approx £505 (incl VAT, but still..)

Coupon still working now just checked.

It’s only my opinion but I’m guessing as a new supplier they had to commit to a certain volume and maybe selling at cost to help cash flow but that’s purely a guess!

Great to see a topic on my favorite brand of boots! I wore and wear them a lot, I bought these about 10 years ago, the stitching nose to sole needs a repair and some heel work, but further more there fine. I never ever polish them, they look worn but to my opinion these should look worn. After a few years I called the retailer for another pair, AUS$ vs € wasnt favorable, I paid around €250 for mine in sale, at the time I called retailing around €450!

Wow, yes - it still works. I noticed I didn't type it in with capital letters LOL

Is this a new supplier tho? Seems like they started a couple of years ago, and they have a big IG following.

Thank you! This topics makes me want to hunt for another craftsman pair. They are hard to get by in The Netherlands, only one retailler which dont shown them on the website. Might take a risk ordering online, no idea which fitting mine are.

There was talk of a retailer in england having them for 50% off a few pages back.

Also, please throw just a bit of conditioner on them. The leather's gonna start cracking soon

Hi guys - I don't do a lot of posting around here, but now I have a question, hoping someone might share their thoughts on this. I just received a pair of comfort turnouts, but to me the leather seems very sunken around the caps on heel and toe - is this normal? Am I being too sensitive in thinking this is not quite how it should be? (Sorry for the

Looks to be how it was packed, I’d try a shoe tree in it for twenty four hours and see how it looks.
