RM Williams boots are rarely discounted and while you can find look online for factory seconds, the official store has a father's day promotion where you can get a pair of boat shoes with each pair of mens leather boots. Boots like the Craftsman aren't cheap, but can last a lifetime with the right care.
No boat shoes are worth $130
Give me an open-necked polo shirt, a pair of navy-blue shorts with a belt, and a pair of me old boat shoes and I will pull them like ripe peas down at the old sailing club. It worked for my old man.
You forgot the Ray-Ban Clubmasters.
ugly boat shoes, overpriced boots
RM Williams are hand made.
It takes 4 weeks start to finish to create just one pair of boots.
They are without question one of the finest shoes in the world.
The quality of these boots are legendary.
If you look after these boots they will last at least 5 years or more like ten.
I can say that because I know, I'm the proud owner of 4 pairs.
Its hard to compare RM boots to any other shoe because they are in a league of there own.
They are a red hot bargain at $425.
Anyone that has a pair will agree.
You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes.
Its time to step up.
Its time for your first pair of RM's
Should you checked the rep box?
:)
They are good shoes. I have a pair. They're not the best though.
What's with
the double
line spacing?
You are without question one of the finest marketing reps in the world.
The quality of your spiel is legendary.
It's time to step up.
It's time to ask for a raise.
I'm not a rep.
I'm just a man that's found something truly amazing and think its only fair that others share in my happiness.
Truly great products are so very rare these days.
With everyone else is cutting corners on quality RM still make every boot by hand.
You can see the love and care that has gone in to each boot.
RM is timeless. RM is ….
I could talk all day and it still would not do these boots justice.
You sound like a paid shill.
It's really more embarassing for him if he's not a shill.
It's time to step up? Seriously?
they are good, yes. But overpriced! Wolverine 1000 Miles are much better looking, and cheaper. Can be found for $200-$250 at times. Seconds go for $120-$160.
The Wolverine 1000 miles are an attractive boot but it's nonsense to compare a lace up boot like the Wolverine to the the chelsea style Craftsman that RM Williams are famous for worldwide.
They used to be hand made taking a couple of weeks, (not sure where 4 weeks comes from) when they were made in AUS. It is all or most mechanical since they moved to China. They are good shoes but the price is completely unjustified. I have 2 pairs of Julius Marlow that are getting close to 10 years old and still are not going anywhere. How is the normal price a bargain, they are always in that price range? May be a good deal but usually it is better to get an Oil Skin coat as that is legendary too! My 2c in the big picture.
Just to confirm NO rm Williams boots are made in china
RM boots are Australian made
The only thing made in china are the tshirts
The rm factory is in SA
Still made from one single piece of leather
Any other questions?
Humm interesting, lets see for how long though.
But, so what other items are made here apart from the boots?
… t-shirts, caps, seasonal shirts/shorts, polo shirts and some leather wallets. I assume the range may increase in the future as RM Williams is 50% Australian owned since April.
nice boots, ugly boat shoes
If in Adelaide, well worth going to the Seconds Shop in Salisbury, tons of discounted boots for 200-400. Not much for boots that will last 5+ years.
Nice boots, ugly price.
I swear they have gotten more expensive. Thought they use to be about $350 each
Colorado Trench… $159
Tempted… how dressy can these be?
Might want to mention the minimum spend is $425 for the leather shoes…
