R.M.Williams dynamic flex sole

After rigorous research and testing, R.M.Williams created and developed Dynamic flex comfort technology which is available in the popular Craftsman style. The Dynamic flex Craftsman boot features a combination leather and rubber sole for added flexibility and softness underfoot.

Dynamic flex is ideal for frequent travellers due to the fibreglass ‘airport friendly’ shank that is used to reinforce the shape of the boot.

The lightweight rubber footbed insert is removable to allow orthotics to be inserted.
