Will this grow into a problem?

Will this grow into a problem?

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 👍

Necesito su ayuda

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.

Stitching in heel portion of boot?

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?

Heading out tomorrow to buy my first pair of RM Williams boots and want to get it right.

What should I be paying attention to in-store? Mainly deciding between leather vs rubber sole, sizing/fit (I’ve had issues with shoes being too tight before), and which Craftsman variations are actually worth it vs marketing differences.

Also—any advice on what a proper fit should feel like for these? And anything people usually get wrong when buying their first pair?

Appreciate any practical tips before I pull the trigger.

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting a pair for work and one for casual, which silhouettes do you recommend? How long can I expect it to last? How many times over the years have you taken it for a repair and how has that been? Is it something I can own for a long long time by taking it for repairs instead of new pairs?

Honestly any info is helpful. New to Aus, see these everywhere and would love to take some pairs back to the UK, I've read these are half the price of comparable quality there!

Appreciate you

Is this crease a defect?

I just received these mid-brown pull-up leather Craftsman boots - and both have this vertical crease mark in the front from the fabric pull tag at the top of the front down to the mid-ball of the top of my foot.
Is this normal? It doesn’t match the photos on the website. Will it go away with wear and polishing / conditioning?
Many thanks!

Hey all,

About to buy my first pair of RM Williams Comfort Craftsman in Mid Brown Pull-up.

Main use will be:

- casual (jeans/chinos)

- occasionally business casual

Just wanted some quick advice from owners:

  1. Colour & leather – is Mid Brown Pull-up a solid versatile choice, or would you go for a different option?

  2. Sizing concern – I’ve seen quite a few “brand new, wrong size” pairs on Marketplace.

    How does that happen even after in-store fitting?

    Any tips to avoid getting the sizing wrong?

Tried them in-store and they felt good, but just want to make sure before pulling the trigger.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Had the upper leather of my RM Williams boots punctured a couple of days ago after some metal shrapnel stuck out at a train station that went straight throug the boot.

Has anyone had something similar happen? Can this be repaired by a cobbler/RM, or is buying a new pair the only way?

Hi all, I’ve had a black and chestnut pair for almost 5 years now and just noticed they’re starting to lose their shape a little. Wondering if you can point me in the direction of a good quality pair of shoe trees that aren’t the RM Williams brand? I don’t fancy spending $200 on shoe trees when you can get them much cheaper elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Has anyone been there? I’m in Adelaide next week and was planning to go and see if I can snag an extra pair of boots.

Edited: Thanks for the suggestions. DFO it is.
