RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[Jykaes]

Are these your shoes?

Nah sorry I should have been clearer, those are just the top google result for "rm williams shark" - I remembered the name. My suede pairs are Black, Havana and Bone MTO.

I ended up returning my 8G pair as it seemed, from multiple sources, that it was not going to give enough to be comfortable. I was also advised against trying to stretch them out with alcohol or anything.

8H fits like a dream.

Does anyone have recent experience with BootsOnline? It seems like they rate highly, and I'd be looking to ship them to Canada. The online reviews just seem...too good?

I got my Chinchillas from them a couple of months ago; very smooth transaction, and their sizing recommendation was spot on.

Got some new joints today from the ssense sale. Turn in what they khaki suede, but it comes as sage irl. Beautiful color, works well with black and indigo jeans which is what I wanted most.

I was looking at these and the cola turnouts before I saw the grey ones

Has anyone had a pair relasted and resoled? My wife has a high top pair made years ago (come up to top of calf and have no elastic). I had them relasted and resoled and just got them back. The inner back leather lining on the heal area is still all worn out and hasn't been replaced.

Very happy with the outer resole work but it looks to me like just a resole, when I asked and paid for re last & sole.

Should the back internal lining have been replaced (as it was damaged/worn through) in a relast and how could you tell if a re last was done. The internal parts including innersole looks to be original and not replaced.

Thoughts?

Below are some images to go with the above. You can see the boots look great, but the inner heal and inner sole has not been replaced or repaired. I expected that would be done in a re last and re sole but never had a relast done before (or anything on this type of boot actually). Does anyone know if this should be done, or were my expectations misguided? Maybe it is not possible to repair that part of the boot?

Got these in today, I’m guessing the center crease settles after some time?

It should settle in with some wears.

Thanks, that's about the price they are from bootsonline usually.

Posted about this back in March just after lock-down, for obvious reasons never had the issue addressed but maybe its time.

Recap: had new gores put on my 20 year old Gardeners back in January..but on the first walk back in March the leather split at the back next to the seam on the right boot, but oddly just above the heel, so no direct pressure.


Yep....nasty. : (

Not too sure it can be re-sewn or maybe a custom strip of leather can be applied up the back.


The boots otherwise are still in pretty good shape.

Hey everyone, new here and just got my first pair of RM's. I've found a small cut just second wear in and I'm wondering whether I should 1) be worried and 2) if there's anything I can/should do to make sure this doesn't turn into something big or 3) is it nothing to worry about.

Thanks in advance
