Has RM Williams ever made a tan suede Macquarie? Is there anywhere I can get one made?

Been weighing up whether to go for some Comfort Craftsmans for a while. I have a couple of questions, if anyone is able to provide some input I'd really appreciate it.

One of the big selling points for the RM boots that people often refer to is the durability - "I've had mine for 10/20/30 years". This sounds great, but I'm also curious to hear whether anyone who has had a pair for a long period of time has had the chance to compare to the boots being sold today, particularly since ownership has changed hands. I feel that this is particularly important, given the price bumps in recent years - I'd like to know that there hasn't been any sacrifice in quality in recent times.
Second, regarding the Rum yearling - I've heard both from employees in-store and online that the Rum marks more easily, or at the very least the marks are harder to conceal due to no polish being available that is able to replicate the original Rum colour. My concern here is that the leather is going to get scuffed up to the point of not being presentable - particularly after the decades of use that you're supposedly able to get out of them! Has anyone that's gone with the Rum got any input on how they've fared?
Really appreciate any input - it's a big investment!

... fit like a glove through the heel and arch but the toebox was too short/tapered for my forefoot. Sized up to the 7G, a little bit loose in the heel and arch but the toebox is a good fit...
Hi - I just received a pair of Rum craftsman in the mail and while I understand the leather is bound to have some marks, this seems excessive. View attachment 802232
Thanks, will give it a shotLooks like superficial scratches, probably the result of the boots rubbing against each other in the box. You should be able to easily get rid of it with a horse-hair shoebrush.
Thanks, will give it a shot
I trried size 10.5g and it was to roomy and heel slipage. I putted in a insole and all was good but with heel slipage. So my question is would 10.5f work for me? I also heard that you can buy from a heel support, correct? Any experience with that?
Size 10g is perfect but to short in the lenght
What products do you recommend me to buy If i had some heel slipage im size 10.5
The new sydney boot sounds interesting!
