Collection: RM Williams Craftsman Boots

The Craftsman is distinguished by its unique single-piece leather construction, which creates a more durable boot with fewer potential failure points. While other brands offer similar Chelsea styles, the R.M.Williams process involves over 80 manual steps in an Australian workshop. This heritage, combined with the ability to have the boots fully refurbished at the factory, provides a level of longevity that global mass-market competitors rarely match.

Blowes Clothing is one of only three retailers authorised to sell the full R.M.Williams range online. This means you are guaranteed an authentic product, access to the latest seasonal releases, and the support of a traditional Australian family business. We provide expert fitting advice and ensure your investment is protected by the official R.M.Williams repair and warranty network.

The Comfort Craftsman is our most popular model, featuring a non-slip rubber sole and a comfort insole designed for those on their feet all day. The Classic Craftsman uses a traditional leather sole, which offers a slightly thinner profile and a more formal "click" when walking. For most Australian conditions and frequent use, the rubber-soled Comfort model offers superior traction and longevity.

Yes, particularly if you choose a model with a rubber sole. While the leather is naturally water-resistant, we recommend regular conditioning with R.M.Williams Stockman’s Boot Polish to maintain the hide's protective barrier. If your boots become saturated, allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat to ensure the leather remains supple and does not crack.

R.M.Williams offers several widths to ensure a custom-like fit. A 'G' width is the standard medium fit for most men, while an 'H' width is designed for those with a wider foot or higher instep. Because these boots are crafted from a single piece of leather, they should feel firm but not painful across the bridge of the foot when new; they will soften and stretch slightly with wear.
