RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[Jykaes]

Rm cutting costs? If they were made for the memebers sale I wouldn’t be surprised if they were made cheaper anyway.

I've had a couple of pairs with 1/4 lining rather than the full lining. They were older pairs though. Only difference was they seemed to wear in a bit better.

Interesting. I've owned a few pairs of both standard and comfort from 2011 up to last month and those were the only ones with the 1/4 lining. Seems unusual to reward your members by giving them cut cost boots... I wonder if there's some story there, in any case they aren't doing it to the current lineup.

Yes those were the leather mate. They’ll not get a shed of wear so probably won’t send for Topy, large rotation now...

Had rum and black yearling Comfort Craftsman pairs arrive today, $500 each Australian ($345 USD) and as a result of this thread had a look at the insoles.

The rum has the white edged insole and is stamped 3/19 while the black has the blue edged insole and is stamped 2/19. And again my 5/19 havana suedes have blue as well. So it seems probably Feb/Mar around that time they transitioned to the blue edge but wearing two identical new pairs with the two colours they are indistinguishable in comfort, the blue isn't better it's just a slight manufacturing change.

Rm have new styles in their website. Couple look nice, and good to see they offering more boots in the H fitting ?

Is it me, or has the shape of the craftsman changed?

On the website, it just looks like the top of the boot isn’t as predominant.

Hahahaha RM, I love the boots but the company is unreal sometimes with how unorganised they are. Not even a month ago I e-mailed their customer service asking if they could do a pair of the Havana suede in Comfort Craftsman and I was told no they wouldn't be able to do that and I would have to buy a Blaxland. I ended up buying an "out of season" pair at the warehouse sale in a half size up from my normal.

Look what's on the redesigned website as of today.

Also they've removed the old Bespoke Flash editor (Which sucked anyway) and replaced it with a Made to Order page that implies they'll now do literally any combination you can come up with. Curious to see if they'll stick to that because every time I've asked it's not been the case.

I kinda see what you mean, maybe it’s the photo ?‍♂️

I think it's the photo, all the photos have just been retaken and reuploaded for the site redesign. The boots look the exact same to me.

I asked the same a while ago, and was told the only way I could get them is to go bespoke, st s cost of newly £800, also been told recently that to get the heel pads changed I would have to send my boots off and wait 2/3 weeks for repairs! (I’ve brought some for £5 and jsut stuck them in)

Rm customer service is either a jokes/useless or jsut money grabbing!
