Which RM WIlliams Boots Do You Recommend?

Thranrond on 08/08/2023 - 04:08

I have decided to buy myself a pair only to learn there are quite a few options.

Which do you recommend? I work an office job and want to wear it every day that I'm not working from home (2-4 days in the office).
I want black and I want a pair that I can re-sole in the future if needed.

I've done some research and it seems the Comfort Craftsman is good but also read good things about the Dynamic Flex and Comfort Macquarie.

    Go in store and ask the reps for help - no pressure to purchase.

    I need the extra wide fit so I only get one option in boot

    Choice comes down to fit. Follow @Shadowsfury's advice.

    Black and chestnut comfort craftsman

    Chestnut Comfort Turnout Boots - these suit me.

    iirc a Macquarie is a Craftsman but with a lower heel and more pointed toe box

  • Drakesy on 08/08/2023 - 10:32

    All of them

    I didn't want the Dynamic Flex, I didn't like the idea of a softer less durable on my soles if I could help it. I didn't think it was that necessary, the comfort craftsman is comofortable enough

    Comfort craftsman, all day comfort.
    Had mine for over five years worn every day to work best $500 spent. Most people bork at the price but for the time you will have them weighed up against the price it is good value.

    Dynamic flex if you need arch support, otherwise you will find them very uncomfortable.

    Comfort Craftsman, Have resoled my black ones once as have been worn weekdays for 7 years now, and have a pair of the Chestnut ones for informal occasions. Be aware that they take a while to soften up and flex. The first few weeks won't be very comfortable.

    Craftsman is the one you see everyone wearing. Chestnut and Black are the most common colours if you want to fit in with the Big4 crew. They come in various sole variations. Anything is good. Would warn against leather if you are going to wear daily, as leather soles need to dry between uses if they get wet.

    Would recommend buying from the Salisbury outlet for factory seconds (half price). If you can't make, they posted mine to Sydney for $15.

    Try on the Comfort and Dynamic Flex. Whichever fits best is the one for you.

    Comfort's sole will last a bit longer usually, but Dynamic Flex sole isn't too bad either. Fit is king.

    are people sizing up with craftsman? seems like it jams the shit out of your toes heh

    • smhbruh on 08/08/2023 - 23:07

      Likely sizing down as RMW run small. I am a US11 and wear a 10 RMW

    Wow, RMW get ripped on Productreview. Have they really gone downhill that much?
