RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[InaYan]

Hi Inayan, its the length my toe is just too close to the top, I'd hoped they would stretch but with just one wear I knew they were too small, I tried 2 different sizes at 50 delivery each time, still no joy. I'm gutted but need to sell to add something else that works. I was told they are very close \ identical to Loke sizes but loake are bigger, I picked up a waxed rough-out pair of Loake Chatsworth in 7 they are wider \ bigger in size (a great pair of boots better value then Crocket & Jones)

Thank you

For something like this I recommend using a shoe tree that's one size larger to get the right size for you. It should stretch it out a bit

Sure you're right,but the toebox is made of fibreglass that don't stretch.

Sorry no, this is absolutely false unless you have a steel toe boot, which as far as I know, rmw does not make. Maybe you're joking about the stiffness of the leather??

Either way, it's reinforced leather. They use leather stiffner paste for the upper to get the toe shape, then a super thing layer of canvas (I could be wrong here and maybe this is just for the heel before the heel stiffner?), then the glove leather liner.

You will never be able to stretch the length of a shoe, but width is doable, and maaaybe a little bit in the height as the insole depresses.

I am not a RMW specialist and zI am only saying what the much more devoted fans to the brand are insisting in a matter of the boot's construction. I do really want to believe that in a month or teo my left feet eill feel much more comfortable and will not experience new "kind"/ of pain every time I put my RMW on lol

Thank you

Sorry I tried them on again for the first time in a while and its the top of the toe box that pushes down on my big toe, not technically the end of the boot, so there is a bit of space there from the toe to the end of the boot, but the toe box pushes down on the toe.

Haha,I meant yo say " much more devoted than me",didn't want yo underestimate your love for the brand or your knowledge about RMW?‍♀️

Same here but just on my left feet. Thing is,I already had the 6G (after that I ordered the 5.5H ) and the heel slip was too much. Now,I never tried the 6H and wouldn't know how that size would fit me . My next RMW pair will be chosen much wiser I guess

Where did you end up buying from?

ABC. Your experience with BootsOnline convinced me! I don't mind the price difference. They're a good store, knowledgable staff, and were very helpful. Complicated try-ons convinced me of the value of hands-on, too!

My first pair RMs. Comfort Craftsman in tobacco suede. The color is lighter than I'd expected, but nice nevertheless.

Nice pair of black slim denim, rock star chic! That’s how I wear mine.

That's definitely light for tobacco suede.

Late reply, just scrolling through the thread, what suede is this Crafty? I'm in love. I've got Havana and Bone pairs and these are perfectly in the middle. Unless it's just your lighting!
