    Nicest colour. Not a fan of the arch support on thos. Definitely try it but just know the arch is very prominent

      You do get used to it pretty fast.

      The whole boot generally takes a few weeks to wear in anyway

      • fleetfeather on 16/03/2022 - 00:27

        Tried on a bunch of RM's in store a few months ago. Couldn't find a Dynamic Flex that would fit my remarkably-normal feet.

        10.5G's in Comfort Craftsman's fit perfectly. Every size of Dynamic Flex I tried would either rub horribly on the heel, were too long and my foot dragged, or were too wide and my foot swam. As such, definitely worth trying a few pairs on in store before you buy online.

        I agree that the arch support is comfortable, though

      • maverickjohn on 16/03/2022 - 09:26

        I own two comfort craftsman. 1 Tanbark kangaroo and dark tan standard.
        Both of these shoes are super comfortable.
        The dynamic flex would never work for me. My foot is flatter and thus the arch support is actually a hindrance. Hence why I tell people to try it on first

      I was thinking that this morning! I pulled out a shirt and thought, why do I have so many of these? Clothes in general. I could donate 90% of my wardrobe and just use 1 or 2 shirts and a pair of shoes the one day I go into the office every month or two, and it wouldnt change a thing

      • scottishdave on 15/03/2022 - 12:03

        The elastic in mine has gone saggy after eight years. To get new elastics is very expensive. I'm wondering if I should just throw them in the back of the cupboard and get a cheaper brand for the price of getting the elastic repaired or just pay to get them repaired?

        • gakko on 15/03/2022 - 12:10

              @scottishdave: I'd replace the elastic. Cheaper, brings the boot back to good nic, good for the environment.

              Anything RM william = exy but its cooler to have the same boot for so long. Not that I own any.

        • samyall on 15/03/2022 - 12:10

          Getting them serviced basically brings them back to being a new boot so you'll get another 8 years out of them.

        • WatchSnob on 15/03/2022 - 12:11

          The leather will still be way better than what you’ll get with a cheap brand. It’s worth fixing them, especially considering that’s the option that’s better for the environment.

        • solidice on 15/03/2022 - 12:26
          +3

          If you buy a cheap pair, you might find that the elastic goes after a year. 8 years for the elastic to go is incredible!

        • entropysbane on 15/03/2022 - 19:10

          Since I got my first pair of RMs at twenty I have been rewarding myself with a new pair every decade. One year away from my fifth pair.
          Comfort craftsman dynamic flex are my favs, particularly as you don’t have to take them off when walking through airport security.

        • mathematicalcoffee on 16/03/2022 - 09:44

          your local cobbler will probably do it cheaper, mine quoted $60

      Definitely don't need to get anything so durable. I've got a couple of nice looking pairs of Rivers boots, I know they're not going to last like a pair of RMs but given I am going into the office less than once a month they will do me. I'm more likely to be wearing my Redback steel caps in the backyard at lunch than being seen on the town in a pair of RMs.

        I've got about 5 pairs of RMs currently, I got my first pair around 15 years ago - one leather sole, two rubber and two comfort flex. I would not buy comfort flex again, the soles breakdown much faster in my experience. One of my pairs broke in half twice and were repaired by RM. They are pretty comfy, but so are most RMs.

        If you want a durable sole that's comfortable and better with wet weather, get the rubber sole - its the pick of the bunch in my experience.

        Or you know, you can listen to the randoms who negged me or the bloke above who linked you to a website trying to sell you something.

        • Gonltruck on 15/03/2022 - 13:14
          +3

          Not sure how to read your response it seems like you're confusing comfort and dynamic flex as "comfort flex"

          But then you say the rubber sole is the best - which to my understanding is the "comfort craftsman" which you earlier said was no good and broke down early.

          Keen to hear your feedback as you seem well versed in RMs, thanks for your help

          • Bargain Slut on 15/03/2022 - 13:40
            +2

            @Gonltruck: Yes you are correct - i've confused the two terms. Please read 'comfort flex' as 'dynamic flex'.

            Comfort - the rubber soles - are great, they wear well all around and are much more durable and cope with wet weather much much better.

            Dynamic flex - the hybrid soles - great concept, very comfortable and you can swap the inserts for something that fits you better if you need to - which was the main reason I ventured into them originally, however, I've found that the soles are weaker and prone to breakage

            Leather - the OG sole - I love a leather sole but they honestly just aren't as practical, they take more to maintain and are more prone to wear, you'd think that office workers might be fine with this sort of set up but they can also be slippery as hell on wet tiles or concrete, even some carpets unless they've got some decent scuffing on the soles.

            Get what you like, but if you can only afford one pair, get rubber soles.

        No, its going to be too narrow. If youre going to drop $400+ on boots you want them to fit like a glove….or like a boot.

      Personally I would go to RM Williams direct. They can do full service including reshaping the leather upper, new elastic sides if needed. It's probably half way to the cost of a new boot but worth it if you wear them every day

    • Hugh G Rection on 15/03/2022 - 13:27

      rm williams, or any shoe cobbler.

  • Cheaplikethebird on 15/03/2022 - 13:14

    IMO if you're buying to wear to an office there are more impressive GYW shoes at the same price point.

    • Gonltruck on 15/03/2022 - 13:40

      Definitely keen to hear if you have some good options available in Aus or at least shippable without crazy import costs at the moement. Just recommended brands would be fine no need to link styles etc.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 15/03/2022 - 15:27

        Loake 1880 are probably the easiest to find in Aus. The Iconic stocks Church's and has stocked Trickers in the past. You'll have to look around but it's worth it IMO to look like you're able to dress yourself without looking at the guy next to you.

      I find any leather shoe made in Portugal and on sale is a great ozbargain option. Usually end up around the $200-250 range and the quality is significantly better than the made in china crap you get sub $200 these days.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 15/03/2022 - 17:56

  • Hugh G Rection on 15/03/2022 - 13:31

    i really dislike the Dynamic Flex line, unless you have orthopaedic insoles that you need to use. these are always on sale because most people don't use it. i guess you can't afford it and want to get into rm williams, i guess this would be good to buy. i always say, buy once, cry once. get the one you want, and you don't have to buy twice. which actually comes out more expensive.

    i love the comfort craftsman, i went to the rm williams at the QVB in Sydney and tried on a pair to see what the hype was about. no i understand, they are amazing, and i highly recommend you get fitted properly at the store. its different for everyone.

    • timbo83 on 15/03/2022 - 13:54

      Personally I just found them a better fit for my foot type which also provided a softer feel while walking.

      As mentioned above don't buy without trying them on first. Once you know they are good then just purchase at the next similar deal (I got my black and brown pairs both from DJs in seperate sales).
