David Jones have discounted a few R.M. Williams boots including the Sydney Boot and the Yard Boot.
Multiple colours and sizes available. There are also a few $99 boots available but with very limited sizes.

It does too - I managed to check out at $250. I'll update the title, thank you.
The tan colour is still $250.
Sydney Tan are $250.
Leather soles.
Thought I'd scored a bargain with the Adelaide boot. Only size 11 left, just what I needed! Go to add to cart; "Sorry, this colour / size combination is not currently available."
Damn. Wasn't meant to be.
Thought the same until realised it's ladies boots
Hahaha, I totally missed that important piece of info.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
@entropysbane: Only wrong size
"may I have one of those, madam?"
these are my favorites for when im mustering on the station!
You don't see heels like those much nowadays.
you get excellent horse response from those. giddyup!
Depends on your order or who knows what. They have a lot of sales items now. Made couple of different orders and everything will be refunded. Oh well
Managed to get a pair of Sydney boots, what's the difference between Sydney and Comfort craftsman by the way?
lower cut upper
Lower around the ankle. No front tug. Leather soles (not rubber)
Thanks guys, just got order cancellation email :(
Must be trying to clear all their yard boots. They are a bit odd.
They look ghastly
Indeed they do. I think a couple of weeks ago I received the RM email discounting them by $100. I happened to be in a RM William store getting fitted and someone actually bought them whilst I was there.
So for the right price they can sell.
So I had my order cancelled by dj and refund processed already.
Any great reasonably priced Australian made alternatives?
Mongrel boots, very similar design. I had to get them through a workwear store, they were a bit hard to find. Got both black and chocolate for just over $300

Being made from Genuine Leather
Hmm,
For $159 bucks what would you expect though? You're not getting full grain for such a bargain price IMHO.
@ThadtheChad: What's the difference in the leather you'd get on an rm Williams boot, versus this?
"Genuine Leather" is always a confusing term to me.
@cheesecactus: Oh I bet its intentionally so!
RM Williams will likely be full grain leather
Here's a decent explanation from reputable leatherworker:

@ThadtheChad: I believe most of the RMs are a top grain
@cheesecactus: Bit of simple googling helps
You know this is quite nice but then I go to purchase and it's not a pair of rm..
One of the not many left made in Australia icon
which ones the best - I know some of these are super comfy which probably look a bit relaxed
what about for corporate white collar office environment
For the office you're best to go with the comfort craftsman
thanks mate. That seems to be really popular on ozbargain too. Will keep an eye out
For anyone who hasn't fitted these before, I'd strongly recommend trying them on in-store first. I'm a pretty reliable 11.5 US shoes size, but a "10G" in a Comfort Craftsmen.
^ this. I am the same.
My partner is the same. Usually Size 9 AU for all other shoes, size 8 AU in Craftsmen
Be mindful as well that RM williams are Australian sizing and not US - Aus sizes are usually about 1 lower
Ordered, and now have had it cancelled and money refunded
All gone now or is my browser stuffed…..?
Sydney price changes to 415 once you select a size (all sizes)
