Upper leather

LeatherOur iconic full leather sole is crafted from premium cowhide, stained in homage to Australia's red earth and finished with the R.M.Williams gold foil stamp.
Insole
LeatherA full vegetable-tanned leather insole and integrated foam provide underfoot comfort and arch support for all-day wear.
Welt

Care instructions

Cleaning
Our R.M.Williams Leather Cleaner is specifically formulated to help you look after your R.M.Williams leather goods, ideal for removing dirt and grime from your boots and shoes.
- Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove mud, dirt, dust or salt.
- Apply R.M.Williams Leather Cleaner directly and evenly onto any excessive marks in the leather.
- Rub cleaner evenly over surface with a damp cloth until clean.
- Remove any excess cleaner with a dry clean cloth.
Conditioning
R.M.Williams Leather Conditioner should be applied regularly to finished leather footwear to maintain and preserve the leather and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
- Apply R.M.Williams Leather Conditioner evenly to finished leathers with a clean cloth or hands.
- Allow the conditioner to penetrate for approximately one hour.
- Note: be careful not to over condition; leather also needs to breathe. Therefore, if you clean your boots every week, do not use conditioner each time (we recommend every 2-3 months).
Polishing
Use R.M.Williams Stockman's Boot Polish regularly to maintain the colour of your boots and remove scuffs. This keeps the smart finish of your leather boots, particularly for dress boots.
- Apply R.M.Williams Stockman's Boot Polish to finished leathers with a clean cloth or brush and rub in well.
- Allow polish to rest on the surface and penetrate leather for a minute.
- Buff briskly with a shoe shine brush and finish with a buffing cloth to obtain a high shine.
- Note: for boots which are badly scuffed, optimum results will be achieved if the polish is left on the uppers overnight. This will ensure the pigment is absorbed into the leather.

Key Features
Craftsman boot
Handcrafted in Australia
Handcrafted by our skilled craftspeople at our iconic Adelaide workshop, this boot was made using one piece of leather with over 80 time-honoured techniques and processes.
Goodyear welt
The Goodyear welt has been used by bootmakers since 1862 due to its enduring strength and ability to be re-soled, allowing you to enjoy your boots for years to come.
Leather sole
Timeless and distinctive, leather soles have been used on our boots since our founding in 1932, offering a classic choice for everyday wear and more formal occasions.

"The Craftsman is our iconic R.M.Williams boot; beloved, sought-after and imitated around the world. The iconic chisel toe shape has redefined perceptions of the Chelsea boot for many people - it's sharp and refined but comes with an ingrained ruggedness that feels inherently Australia."
Rachel Allen, Chief Design & Product Officer
