Hi everyone,
I am in the process of buying my first pair of RM Williams, and I wanted to know if anyone has had experience buying from RM Williams store/online vs. resellers like the Iconic. Is there any difference in quality etc?
Iconic has the advantage of higher cash back and the Amex offer currently.
Thanks!
Yeah, typically those type of shoes have a break in period. So you want a snug fit. After that break in period it'll feel really comfortable. If you get a comfortable fit to begin with, then it'll be looser after the break-in period.
Go to an RM’s store, try some on and find the correct size, then buy online.
Nope
Why nope? This is what I (and most other OzBargainers) did with the recent Qantas Store promo
See above. If you want the correct fit, you need to try them on. Each pair is different.
You need to go and get fitted.
My normal shoe size is 13. My RM size is like 12E or something
No point having something you can’t wear.
Especially if you are going to drop hundreds of dollars on the damn things.
Hi Guys just been told that all the orders that were waiting are now being shipped and you should have or will be receiving tracking numbers from UPS.
Check of their DFO stores so you can get fitted and avail of random sales or further discounts
Shoes are the same, but fit isn't. They are hand made boots, so each fit is slightly different. I usually spend an hour or so in the RM Williams store trying on pairs until I get the exact right one. One thing I've noted over the years is that if you don't get a perfect fit, the shoes move around too much and start to fall apart/get more wear and tear. I currently have two pairs. One pair I bought in the UK and they didn't stock half sizes. That pair hasn't held up that well. The other pair I got a the RM Williams store here, and they look like new after several years.
