    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    They’re a bit fuller than most Chelsea boots you see out there. I don’t really like slim footwear as I wear straight legged jeans and they look a bit odd. I’ll pull the trigger once I’m decided on sizing.

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    I think for the price I’m going to give them a shot. Skimming the thread it sounds like the toe shape on the wider last Gardener is not as round as the normal width? I like bulky looking boots (in an ideal world I’d get some Rolling Dub Trio Chelsea boots, but they only make up to size 10 or so)...

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    @troika Boots Online in Australia has them for $275 plus ~$25 shipping brings them to right over $300 with current exchange rates: https://bootsonline.com.au/gardener-b530g-our-1-workcasual-boot I think someone on Reddit posted about buying through them previously.

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    Thanks for the quick reply @troika, that sizing advice seems about right from what I've read up on so far. I hate when boots are too snug so I think the H width would be beneficial. And with the price of the AUD right now it's hard to beat a pair for $300 shipped.

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    Been a long time since I've been around these parts, but I'm looking into a pair of Gardner boots in brown. They seem like a good chunky Chelsea boot, just looking for some sizing advice. I'm a 12 in John Lofgren boots (Combat boots and engineers), 11.5 in Viberg 2045, 12 in most RW and Alden. I...

    I don't adjust the forefoot buckle on my pair when I take them on and off, but I undo the shaft buckle. A lot easier to put on or take off than say my Boondockers.

    Yeah I think it would be nice in the natural waxed flesh too. Cap toe or no cap toe, doesn't swing my vote too much. I've just been looking for a nice casual oxford in a brownish shade of leather with a wedge sole. Maybe we'd work up enough interest, I just know Fok shot down the idea of a...

    So it seems like the Millwright might be dead, and we won't be entertaining the idea of an oxford at all? I'd love to see a 145 oxford in crust CXL, antique brass eyelets, with some kind of wedge sole. Or maybe another brown leather rough out. Just an idea. I'd love to have a casual oxford like...

    These are awesome. Wish I could find some Vibergs in a makeup like this.

    Oh, well given that news maybe I will be able to get a pair! I thought we were looking at full payment with voting in the next week or so. Given that time frame I think it's doable for me.

    Thanks for the quick reply Fok, I understand the streamlined method of 100% payment. Might make my decision a bit easier though, I'm sure the boots will come out looking good. Just not in the cards for me right now I don't think. Luckily I have a pair of Hoppers to keep my feet happy for quite...

    I think I've about talked myself into these boots. Do you have an idea of price yet? Also, will you allow a 50/50 deposit like the Hoppers? Would make my decision easier...

    I'd like to see the Chelsea boot (no side zip) in tan horsehide personally. Any sole would do it for me really, I think it would make for a very nice boot.

    Saw this too, and it convinced me that the 310 doesn't look so crazy. I'd like a commando sole on the Millwright, but it won't deter me from getting a pair.

    Starting to think I could get with the 310 last. Reminds me of White's boots toe profile and doesn't look too exaggerated on the foot.

    I think I'm warming up to the 310 build. The short shift would get my attention in another color.

    Does anyone have more photos of people wearing a 310 boot? I've been wearing straighter legged jeans so the 310 could work for me, and when compared to other boots it doesn't look as bizarre to me as it does when sitting by itself.

    Not sure I can get with the 310 last myself. I have big feet and I fear they'll be too clown shoe looking for my liking. Wish this workboot was going to be on a different last.

    Crust cxl gets my vote for the work boot. Would look great on a work boot last like the 2045, 110, etc. Tan horsehide would get my vote for a Chelsea, don't think I'm fashion enough for a side zip.

    I got my Hopper boots in aged bark in today as well, they're great! I went with a 12 (half a size up from my 2045 Boondockers) and the fit feels good in the left foot, but is just a tad big in the right. I think it will settle with some wear, maybe I'll throw some insoles in there at some point...
