    These ones seem like a good deal as well, $14 after credit: https://www.rivers.com.au/shop/men/shoes/boots/pu-boot-lace-…

    Judging from the feedback on the website, avoid their synthetic leatherish shoes, but the leather shoes are good quality.

    • pdtmathieson on 28/06/2019 - 08:49

      From memory when I got the chelsea boot last time it was too big, so went a size down from normal.

    • Glittrfist on 28/06/2019 - 09:39

      I'm usually a solid US 11. However in receiving the goodyear welt boot last night I would recommend sizing down as they are way too big.

  • cheepo on 28/06/2019 - 08:53

    Thank you OP. Was contemplating spending over $120 for a pair chelsea boots in the last few weeks so happy to try these given the price.

    Maybe I've missed something but is free shipping now for orders over $80?

          If you buy less fast fashion, buy things that cost more but can be repaired, and buy them far less often, your impact is significantly smaller than if you buy Rivers or Nike.

          I.e. a pair of Rossi boots with a replaceable sole and some leather treating skills will see you not have to buy boots for 10+ years vs buying a new pair of Rivers boots every year.

            @[Deactivated]: And to get the sole replaced at your local bootmakers will cost 3 times more than a pair of Rivers boots.

            • Shiny Mew on 28/06/2019 - 11:11

              @aussietivoman: Because outright cost is always more important than the environment when considering fashion purchasing decisions…

            @[Deactivated]: You obviously don't know what you're talking about. These boots have a goodyear welted sole - which is perfectly replaceable.

            I've only ever owned one pair of rossi boots, they were motorcycle boots, and they fell apart because they were made from cheaply from cheap materials - and couldn't be repaired economically. They had a moulded sole which quite literally split apart and crumbled.

            • [Deactivated] on 28/06/2019 - 11:52
              +2

              @macrocephalic: Moulded soles are garbage, period, so your bad on buying those.

              I do know what I'm talking about, actually. I was speaking more generally about fashion rather than these particular Rivers boots, which may well last a long time. Though I doubt the quality of craftsmanship or inputs are as high as a more expensive shoe. A Goodyear welt doesn't mean a good boot necessarily.

              I also consider the ethicality of the purchase too - if Rivers are happy to sell for $50, how much can the workers possibly be getting paid? Not enough is my guess. And under what conditions?

                @[Deactivated]: They are. However I didn't buy them, they were a gift from my father who had thought that Rossi boots were all good quality (because he's old and remembers when they were).

                Rivers do sell their fair share of junk products, although I'm not sure that it's more than most other clothing retailers. My point was that these particular boots, from experience, are good quality. They are not fast fashion, they're not really even fashion, they're a sturdy work boot.

      Yes, they're called clothes.

      These leather boots are every bit as good quality as boots costing four times as much, and they're made from the same things (leather and rubber mostly).

  • xyron on 28/06/2019 - 09:00

  • Meconium on 28/06/2019 - 09:15

    Damn, just bought two pairs from the $50 deal a few days ago!

    Good quality boots, sizing isn't great, 9 was too small and 10 too big for me, but got both pairs in 10 anyway. Good for wearing anywhere you're likely to damage a nicer pair of boots.

      I've ordered the black ones and will try to exchange them for brown or tan ones when I turn up. That's what I did when I ordered my Goodyear boots a couple of months ago. Will see how I go

        Worked. Bought the black ones and swapped them for the tan ones at the counter, didn't have to pay any more :)

  • YellowKnight on 28/06/2019 - 09:52

  • Hinee on 28/06/2019 - 10:43

    Reviews for the Chelsea are pretty terrible

    • macrocephalic on 28/06/2019 - 11:01

      They mostly complain about them being too narrow. I'm wondering how wide these people's feet are. I have a slightly wide foot with a low arch and high instep (basically a thick foot) and I can wear these just fine. It should be obvious from the pictures that these are not a shoe designed for people with very wide feet.

      • Hinee on 28/06/2019 - 11:02

        Interestingly I bought some Hush Puppies chelsea boots in a very popular deal a while ago. I bought my normal size 10 but they are absolutely huge and even with inner soles are just too wide.

        • thatonethere on 28/06/2019 - 14:29

          I got them too - I'm pretty sure they were the wide version so I wear thicker socks.

    • dcep on 28/06/2019 - 11:02

        Yeah it seems we are - I only noticed the reviews while looking at the light tan which got a whopping 2 x 2 star.

  • orly on 28/06/2019 - 10:49

    Went to their store to check out the shoes..you get what you pay for honestly. Feels and looks cheap and they don't feel particularly comfortable..but the price is good so there's that.

    • macrocephalic on 28/06/2019 - 11:05

      On the goodyear welt boots? I'm yet to find anything which is even close to the quality for anywhere approaching the price. The goodyear welt boots are made from good top grain leather which lasts a long time (although requires effort if you want to shine). I still have the original pair that I bought 4 years ago, they look beaten from being worn outside all the time, but they haven't deteriorated at all.

      • lordezekiel on 28/06/2019 - 11:58

        Same story here, about 4 years on my first pair of goodyear welts and there isnt even a seam or bit of glue out place anywhere.
        They have weathered nicely, but if you want them to look a bit more like they did when new, you can just put a bit of dubbin polish on and they shine up real nice!

      • aussietivoman on 28/06/2019 - 14:30

        I agree with macrocephalic - show me a better pair of boots for the price than the Goodyear Welts.

      • orly on 28/06/2019 - 14:49

        Hence the qualifier, "but the price is good so there's that". I haven't bought any so can't comment on durability, just on the aesthetics and the initial feel putting them in store. Certainly not trying to dissuade people from getting them if they see value in them, just not for me.

        • macrocephalic on 28/06/2019 - 17:11

          A few years ago I realised that, as long as the outer of the shoe fits your foot, then most of the comfort comes from the insole (obvious exceptions excepted). I buy replacement insoles for all my shoes now, and switch them from one set of shoes to the next as required. All my shoes are comfortable for their uses now.

          I find that the Masseuse brand insoles from kmart ($16) are pretty good, better than the pricier ones from the chemist, but YMMV.

  • JaySu on 28/06/2019 - 11:00

      The look like work boots because they are work boots. If you can wear work boots to your office then, yes. They are not formal or fashionable boots.

    • railspider on 28/06/2019 - 11:43

      Bought a pair for the office and had to return. They're high quality, but definitely more for manual labour than sitting at a desk. Quite large rounded toes that wouldn't fit in with the Chiseled RM Williams crew.

      • MementoMori on 28/06/2019 - 14:09

        Thanks for the comment. I've been considering a pair of RM's, but hate the idea of buying them and never wearing them (never having worn that style at all).

        I thought these would be a good way to try before I buy - to see if I like and actually wear them.

        Any other suggestions for a more basic boot?

        • piston3461 on 28/06/2019 - 15:17

          I never thought I'd wear my RMs either but they are so comfortable and can be worn with anything that I wear the almost every day .

    The good thing is you can wear the welted boots anywhere and not feel like an overdressed (profanity) (real estate agent) or and underdressed bogan (tradie) - they straddle the line nicely i reckon.

  • sween64 on 28/06/2019 - 12:14

    I bought a pair of welteted leather boots in tan last week. Will take some wearing in but are good for a wide foot. Will have to make a Price Protection claim. Thanks.

    • macrocephalic on 28/06/2019 - 14:05

      Yeah, I bought two of pairs of the chelsea boots a couple of weeks ago and paid $60 for them - I feel ripped off. I had planned to choose my favourite and return the other, but when I fronted up at the the local Rivers store it had closed down. I guess I could make the effort to drive to another store, but I'll probably just keep them as a spare.

      • jaypee06 on 28/06/2019 - 14:49

        They're a good boot and I would hand over heart pay $60 for them if I needed them then and there.

        • macrocephalic on 28/06/2019 - 17:12

          Definitely, I'm just disappointed to pay $60 and then see them for $40 a week or two later.
