How are you finding the fit? Did you get your normal size?

They look quite light in colour?
They are light, like a pale grey in reality.

I got normal size but they are a tighter fit which I’m hoping will slacken off with wear. Ok with thinner socks, I’d get a H if I wanted to wear with thicker socks.

Yours do seem at lot lighter than mine tbh, though it maybe down to lighting
Yeah, I took that picture inside my office so only artificial light present. I will say that, while they can look darker, I've never felt that they were close to black. Really just my opinion though.

Not seen anything.

Their seems to be a new kangaroo boot and looking at a uk retailers site suede craftsmen where they are putting a leather mid sole in which looks amazing but price is consistent with current stock.

I’ve seen a couple of Aussie sites stating the price will increase but can find anything out of/when it will hit uk market

I reckon maybe they are changing the Roo upmarket to align with the burnished boots.

WHat style/colour boots would be best for summer?

Would like my next pair to be more of a warmer weather boot.

Tobacco suede or maybe cognac?

Dont know where you live, but even here in wet-and-cold Scandinavia I would not wear Chelseas during summer. RMs are typically Oct-April footwear.
But if you absolutely love sweaty feet I guess the tobacco suede could work. Or chocolate for that matter.

I think a summer color is going to be tan or straw. Like the GIlchrist above, or some of the gardeners I've seen.

Usually I can still wear boots (especially unlined) well into May. I work in AC, so even if I spend some time commuting/lunch, at the end of the day, I'm indoors with a constant comfortable temp.

This came up of my facebook feed: $49 RM Williams Boots:
http://vipsrmwshoes.online/
They have a full range of styles and sizes
Has anyone bought from here?
Is it too good to be true?
It is too good to be true. 100% Scam. Please report it if it comes up.
Had the same thing with Mountain bikes. Carbon copy of a legit website. Similar URL.
Don't give your money away.

I’m uk based. Yes I wouldn’t be wearing Chelsea when it’s to warm, but was thinking for cooler summers tempts/evening
