R.M Williams sale of Boots at $250 per pair (normally $495 RRP). Sale is on at PADDINGTON TOWN HALL 249 OXFORD STREET PADDINGTON , NSW 2021. 8am-6pm 8th-10th July. 10% further discount for proving you have subscribed to their newsletter. Many leather boots available and not just suede. Get in quick as the popular ones will sell out soon. Not sure if these are first quality or seconds (couldn't see anything wrong with the pair that I bought). Sydney has no DFO outlet for this brand so a sale is very rare.

    How much cheaper is it than the RM Williams shop at Sydney/Auckland Airport?

      Hi based on what I know Syd airport would be about $450 (being GST free), don't know about Auckland.

  • flashi007 on 08/07/2016 - 10:29

    Cheap. Will last ten years of looked after properly. Get them resoled and they will last last even longer

      The leather might last, but won't they get stinky inside? A lot of bacteria could grow there over 10 years!

      • tomleonhart on 08/07/2016 - 11:40
        +7

        That's why you have cleaning product for the inside.

        And socks and why you should wear your socks only once then wash them.

          great advice on the socks!!

      • ninetyNineCents on 08/07/2016 - 16:37

        Leave your shoes in the sun every so often that clears out the bacteria…

        • rockman117 on 08/07/2016 - 16:43

          not sure if sarcasm. won't that ruin the leather?

          @rockman117:

          If your shoes get ruined from being in the sun a day here and there, then they are hardly worth trying to keep.

    • DrStinge on 08/07/2016 - 15:09

      I wear RMs daily in an office, the leather will last ten years easy but you need to get them resoled every two years for about $200.

      They are a great and comfortable shoe but I find the durability claims always farfetched.

      • Jake D on 08/07/2016 - 17:16

        But I could buy a brand new pair of boots from any other brand every two years for $100..?

        • heatseeker424 on 08/07/2016 - 19:17

          Try finding a $100 pair of boots that are as comfortable as RM's are.

        • Jake D on 13/07/2016 - 15:50
          +1

          @heatseeker424: I have a feeling it's not as hard as you (/the rest of the commenters here) think it is.

      • Baghern on 08/07/2016 - 21:18

        WTF resoled 200…

        I assume you go to RM Williams themselves.

        Most shoe repair resole using RM Williams for much cheaper, I think 100 RM Williams or 60 for normal soles

        If you're in Sydney, go to the one in Martin Place, downstairs, 30m from the train station entrance

        • DrStinge on 09/07/2016 - 07:21

          Most places in Melbourne CBD won't resole them any more, there's a place near Collingwood that does it for $140.

      • kahn on 08/07/2016 - 21:42

        It is not recommended to wear the same pair of leather shoes for multiple days. Have a rotation so that they can dry.

        • DrStinge on 09/07/2016 - 07:22

          I rotate them but it's the heel that wears out the quickest.

    • superadmin on 08/07/2016 - 15:20

      Yeah. They use good quality leather. I resole them overseas. In my opinion it last a lot longer than the current shoes always on sale from Julius Marlow which I only get up to 1 years wear.

      • ankor on 09/07/2016 - 17:01

        Julius Marlow are just terrible. Lasted less than 6m! All I did was walk 10min to and from work..

    These boots are amazing. IF you are even considering getting some, I would not even think about it and go and get some if you are close by. Get in as early as you can. A word of caution.. I would not recommend getting a size that is slightly "too small" for you and thinking they will stretch. It will not occur. If you don't have your size, then don't be tempted by the cheap price. This is the cheapest I have seen these boots for.

    Make sure to buy the leather conditioner and do it at least once every fortnight.

    • DrStinge on 08/07/2016 - 15:07
      +2

      They do stretch on the width and height, just not the length.

      • k120 on 08/07/2016 - 16:01
        +3

        only up to just before your toes start, they will not stretch width-wise around the start of your toes

    Any equivalent sale/store in Melbourne? Would be very tempted to pick up a pair at this price.

    • nowlan on 08/07/2016 - 18:08

    • pakkapie on 08/07/2016 - 11:41

      Go to the factory outlet at Salisbury and they're $350 everyday, but 2 for $500. They're seconds but not by much, nothing a week of wear won't make anyway

      i have a leather jacket from them which was made in Morocco.
      Boots are made in Australia
      a pair of jean was made in Fiji
      another pair of jean was made in Australia

      So it's hit and miss… Boots are made in Australia that's for sure though.

      • jenkemjunkie on 08/07/2016 - 17:00

        This is correct, only so Louis could use the crocodile skins and stuff for their wallets and handbags

    • heatseeker424 on 08/07/2016 - 19:18

      Made in Adelaide, but the leather for the $500 boots is tanned overseas.

    • Baghern on 08/07/2016 - 21:22
      +1

      Unfortunately they outsource their Tanning process to China…

      Which means the leather flakes easily,

      I've got 2 pairs, a black pair 10 years old I've never looked after them still fine.

      A chestnut confort one, 8 years old, within 2-3 years had some flaking/chipped off…. always take care of them …

      Now, the black one looks maybe 4 years old, the chestnut… probably get rid of soon, even with a new coat of polish it quickly fades to a decrepit state within a week… that includes thinning of the leather on the left toe so thin an ant could probably bite though

      Very undecided about a new pair for $500

      Was told about the tanning thing by a girl who's family are from the country as in outback 5 years ago when complaining about the flaking

    Thanks op. Bought Durack yearling boot for $225 and leather conditioner as suggested by commenter. There was same Craftsman but looked like a few people had tried it on. Shoes are made in Oz.

    Better be quick - I was told they are not getting any new stock in over the weekend.

  • pei on 08/07/2016 - 14:11

    Thanks op bought comfort craftsman - been waiting for a good deal on these!

    FYI - lots of sizes in different widths too - but heaps of people also so don't think there'll be too many nice ones left on the weekend. If you just want black or chestnut reg boots there's tonnes of those

    • shaiguy on 08/07/2016 - 14:55

      Ditto - just bought a pair of comfort craftsman and an all rounder $225 each for mentioning the newsletter. It is upstairs in the town hall with tables by sizes (silly me took a while to figure it out). Seems to be quite a lot of people there but not enough to be overly packed and enough seats around to try on shoes.

      Been waiting on an offer for shell cordovan and missed out on a massive us bargain (pricing error) last year so these will do for a while.

      Any recommendations on care instructions or just go by as instructed? Worthwhile to get shoe trees?

      • tomleonhart on 08/07/2016 - 15:06

        just go by instructions. Apply conditioner every month if you'd like.

        I don't think you need shoe trees, if you look close enough, there is a line running from the tip of the boot to front tug. That should keep the shoes in shape.

        • shaiguy on 08/07/2016 - 21:21

    Just left, definitely not worth going to with all the good stuff gone and everything just thrown on the ground. Like going to a street market but for expensive shoes.

    • tomleonhart on 08/07/2016 - 21:14

      Yeah I went there at around 5pm.

      Shoes were every where on the floor, place was packed with people. Everyone was basically lurking at boxes on the floor to find their sides. Didn't leave much to be desired.

      Suddenly paying $100 more to get mine fitted and a nice experience doesn't feel too expensive.

      • shaiguy on 08/07/2016 - 21:25
        +1

        Wow left at about 230 and it was still tables stacked about 3 boxes high everywhere. Admittedly people were buying 1-3 pairs and there was a lot on the ground.

        Guessing they may bring in more stock tomorrow and sort all the stuff back on the tables.

        Noticed a lot on the ground - think it's a bit of poor form… Not that hard to put shoes back in boxes and back to where you found them.
