At R.M.Williams, we make products built for more than a season and crafted for the journeys in life. Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams was disappointed in 1932 by the riding boots and saddlery accessible at the time. They were not worth wearing if they could not stand up to difficult Australian conditions, so he went on to craft better ones by putting function first and design second. That thinking remains our guide even now, which is why every piece is made with purpose, with quality materials chosen for their resilience. We select robust leather, dependable moleskin, hard-wearing denim and fine Australian wool for years of regular use. Our leather boots, in particular, remain proudly made in Australia at the Adelaide workshop, shaped by expert craftspeople from premium Australian leather and built for the conditions you actually face, on the land, on the road and wherever work leads next. Over time, we've expanded into complementary pieces, from dress boots and belts to leather bags and wallets, all made with the same considered intent. If you've been looking up 'Australian leather bags', you want goods made to endure, and that's exactly what we offer.
Some things are worth doing properly, so we at R.M.Williams use reliable Goodyear welt construction to strengthen and extend the life of our products. The leather welt is stitched to the insole, which offers an established base for attaching the sole securely. The result is a structure you can rely on through long days, uneven ground and repeated wear. This also means that, when the time comes, boots can be resoled and repaired, extending their natural lifespan as opposed to shortening it. This construction sits at the heart of our most recognised styles, like our women's Chelsea boots and men's Chelsea boots. From hard-wearing rubber soles built for demanding conditions to refined leather soles suited to formal settings, all pairs are created to withstand tough wear. Beyond boots, the same practical thinking carries through our collection. When you're searching for quality men's clothing or premium women's clothing, you will find dependable staples like shirts, jeans and trousers, and rugged coats, jackets and vests, all made to work hard. Whether you're browsing for 'Australian made leather goods' or 'Australian Chelsea boots', every piece we offer is grounded in function, built for daily wear and shaped to keep pace with wherever the day takes you.
When you're set on ordering your boots, the process is straight-to-the-point: choose your ideal style and colour, then select a sole that matches your day-to-day. The Comfort rubber sole delivers added durability, shock absorption and traction over varied terrain, while the Classic leather sole makes use of premium cowhide, a full leather insole and light padding for breathable wear. The right fit should feel straightforward as well, and that is why we bring you a wide range of sizes. Women's boots run from 5 to 11, while men's boots range from size 3 through to 17, with multiple fittings to match. A practical way to prioritise comfort from the start is to choose narrow, regular or wide for men and regular or wide for women. After you have settled on your fitting, size and style, just enter your information to place the order. If you would rather shop in person, you can find one of more than 90 stores across Australia using the store locator.
