The construction process

R.M. Williams boots are crafted using only fine-grain leather, that is both tough and durable whilst also being comfortable and supple. Moreover, their boots are long-lasting and resilient, carefully crafted from one singular piece of high-quality leather. 80 pairs of hands work on each pair – from choosing the leather and stitching the boot to adding the finishing touches, R.M. Williams does it all by hand to ensure precision and quality.

Men’s boots

They are perfect for daily wear, light work or formal occasions. They boast a fully stitched and welted heel unit which allows for easy repair. No wonder it’s the number one best-selling boot in Australia!

R.M. Williams Rugged Leather Comfort Craftsman Boots

What sets this pair of boots apart from the rest is their rugged look. They feature ‘Crazy Horse’ leather, a full grain cattle leather that improves with age. The best thing about these boots is their naturally waxed leather upper and rubber outsole that makes them supremely comfortable. They provide excellent arch support, while their classic chisel toe and flat heel design are perfect for daily wear and special occasions.
