Exceeds expectations
Beautiful boots, RM has been around since 1932. Construction and quality appear outstanding. The yearling leather used is super soft and molds around your foot. The oil resistant sole offers more traction and longevity vs traditional leather soles, looks sharp. The toe of this boot (comfort turnout) narrows considerably so going slightly loose versus a bit tight was recommended if you are in between sizes. Slight heel lift already going away after 1st day of wearing. "G" width on RM's is the equivalent of "D" in the USA. One full size down from Adidas runners seems about right. The chestnut has slight bit of burgundy tint but looks great. Very fair price from Bloomingdales. Go for it !... Show more

Great service, perfect boot
I wanted some Comfort Craftsman boots, but no store in my area carries them. Using the info provided by Australian Boot Co and the size equivalents during the order entry page, I was able to select the perfect size. The shipping option I had chosen at checkout was unavailable in practice at shipping time, the store called me to make alternate arrangements and the boots arrived the day after they shipped, well packaged.The chestnut colour on the site is almost exactly like the real thing; no colour gimmickry to make the boots looks more attractive online. You get exactly what you ordered.The boots themselves are everything I read about them: beyond comfortable. I discounted most opinions saying these are the most comfy boots ever, but to me they truly lived up to ... MoreI wanted some Comfort Craftsman boots, but no store in my area carries them.

I am working on my
I am working on my second pair of the Gardener for everyday out and about and was tired of wearing uncomfy shoes to work- I’m on my feet all day in a healthcare clinic. But I wanted a dressier looking boot in a finer leather for work, so I invested in the Comfort Craftsman. I don’t know how many women typically buy these boots for office attire, but I can wholeheartedly recommend these as a chic Chelsea with crop pants. And they are very, very comfortable. I was literally thinking today that my feet were very happy! I wear the same size in the comfort craftsman as I did in the Gardener. The Gardener is a bit more roomy in the toe box but since I normally wear merino socks in the Gardener and trouser socks or knee-highs for work, the same size worked for both ...

My Favorite Boots for 20 years
I discovered RM Williams almost 20 years while traveling through Australia. With limited US venders, I’m glad a few US companies have discovered the boots. The fit, quality and longevity of this boot brand is incredible. From Fall through Spring, these are literally worn daily. I rotate two pairs, but until a week ago, my newest pair is 15 years old. Indestructible with a little care. Easy RM approved resole in US with Jim’s Shoe repair at CobblerConcierge. Have sold many colleagues and friends on the style, and versatility of the boot. My go to footwear for dressing up or down. Thank you Nordstrom. AU 11 is US 12... Show more

Review of Comfort Craftsman Boots
My second pair of RM Williams, just as comfortable and great quality as my other, more worn, pair. I still wear my older pair which have survived over 5 years & around 10kms of walking per day of wear, and they look good for another 5 years at least.Expensive? Yes, but the quality is obvious, and the style is timeless. If you divide the cost by their lifespan, they’re a bargain.... Show more

Review of Exclusive Comfort Craftsman Boots
I have been thinking about buying some RM Williams boots for a number of years and finally made up my mind. These boots are superb quality and a perfect fit. They are extremely comfortable straight out of the box and need no breaking in at all. My only regret is waiting so long before buying them.... Show more

Review of RM Williams Yearling Comfort Craftsman Boot - Dark Tan
Very disappointed. Having spent £375 on some new RM Williams Boots for Christmas, I had to pay additional postage (£4.95), other comparative retail stores were free but I wanted to support a local Banbury firm.Once received I realised they were slightly too big. To make matters worse I have now had to pay £10+ to return them. This is not acceptable and completely unfair (£15+ in postage costs)I will never shop with William Powell again and shall buy all future boots & clothing elsewhere.... Show more

Review of Suede Craftsman Yearling Boots
I have two pairs of rm Williams both with the comfort rubber sole. I decided on the leather sole option in suede. The suede was of a good not great quality as the nap was longer in places. The leather sole is flexible and only time will tell if it is of high quality. One of the big differences between the comfort and classic versions is the insole. The comfort has that fixed cushioned insole and the classic has the traditional leather insole. I prefer the leather insole as I do worry about the longevity of the cushioned insole. For first timers I would recommend the comfort over the classic as it can be worn all year round. One negative point is the heel. For a boot with a 270 degree welt they could have made the width of the heel more narrow as it extends past the ... MoreI have two pairs of rm Williams both with the comfort rubber sole.
