Hi,
Can anyone recommend a shoe cobbler (Sydney based) who can remove the dye transfer off my boots ? I've looked up old posts and tried cleaning them with the RM Williams shoe cleaner however no luck.
I've contacted RM Williams for some tips, they haven't been too helpful and advised a go to a professional "leather specialist".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe these may be 2014 Comfort Craftsman but not 100%
I am looking to find them a new owner so wanting to make sure I have the right details :)
G’day gang,
Love RM Williams boots, and am considering purchasing a pair of chocolate brown ladies suede boots. Do they hold up as well as the leather? Or should I give up on the dream.
I’ve included a photo for reference.
Cheers for your input
They look like RM Williams to me. Pretty cool to see him wearing them day to day in the UK if they are.
Noticed a picture of a group of Victorian police officers all donning similar footwear.
Bought these craftsmans in 2021. Only worn occasionally (Max 20-30 times) as a default formal shoe since then (as evidenced by the intact logo on the sole). I throw them on a couple of days ago for a business trip, and the sole starts to crumble at the stitching as soon as I step off the plane! I've had hiking shoes that cost 1/3rd of the price that have lasted longer with 10x more wear!! These boots were stored indoors, leather conditioned 2x year.
Has anyone else had this problem/know what to do?? I don't want to pay what is effectively a $190 "subscription" to RM to have my boots re-soled every 5 years.
Any advice on what to do with these?
They got wet quite a while ago and didn’t dry properly.
I’ve since tried cleaning and using some mould products but it seems to just keep coming back.
I’m just about convinced it’s a battle I can’t win.
Got given these, pretty sure they are from the mid 80s
Hey everyone - just thought I’d add another sizing question to the mix.
I’ve just purchased a pair of the new gardener boots (greasy kip) in a size 8 which are too large. I’ve then exchanged for the 7.5 which are alittle tight around the side of the toes.
Unfortunately the greasy kip only comes in regular width in each size….id normally go with the wider version but can’t in this case.
How’s everyone’s else’s gardener’s holding up?
Picked up a pair of CC last week in a colour very much along the lines of what I've been after. Pretty sure they're not Nutmeg, Caramel or Mid brown, Tan or Dark tan. Any ideas on what the official colour name might be? Date code 2/16. A nice colour that I'm really liking. They sometimes look a bit more orange as in the 2nd photo, but that's fine by me. They replaced a pair of tan boots I bought from some online retailer in 2016 for $100 (and shocked me by lasting 10 years with two sole refurbs, but they finally died). Comfortable straight out of the well-stored box. I'll give them another drink of leather conditioner next week and they'll be better.
All the boots ive worn in the past have no arch support which ive never had issues with and feel comfortable to me. After a few days of wearing the dynamic flex I feel regretful I never tried CC. I purchased at an outlet store 2 weeks ago and forgot to ask to try on CC as i was going between leather sole and DF. Im finding it hard to find an insole online that wont feel like a small lump at the base of my arch. My right foot in the DF feels perfect it only is affecting my left foot.
Has anyone had the same issue and found a flat or low arch insole they like? Id like my DF to be less orthopedic and more like what id imagine a CC is. Any advice would be much appreciated. The shoes are 14 days old and have some slight creased from walking so i dont think i have a chance at a full return exchange if i tried on and preffered the CC at a regular non outlet store or the outlet store of they have CC in stock.
Forgive my ignorane, ive owned my Craftsmen for about 4 months now and only now have i begun to wear them as a daily work boot. I noticed these tiny little wrinkles on the back and want to know if its going to become an issue.
Advice is appreciated 👍
Deseo saber si las botas R.m. Williams Gardener Chelsea. El largo de sus botas que menciona su tabla de tallas en CM se respeta, es decir es fiel el largo de su tabla de talla ala construcción o son ligeramente más largo . Es true to size?"
Mi pie mide 26.1 Cm de largo. Y deseo comprar en talla 8 us - 25.9 CM que sale en su tabla de su talla?
O debería ir por 8.5 us (men) que es 26.3 CM
Agradeceré su respuesta en base A su experiencia.
Hey everyone, I've had my cc for about a year now and I just noticed this today. The little toe side of my left boot and the big toe side of my right boot have stitching going into the heel. For the big toe side of my left boot and little toe side of my right boot, the stitching stops where the heel starts.
The pictures are of the left outside, right outside, left inside, and right outside respectively. Is this normal?
