Best Praise

“RM Williams comfort craftsman are significantly more comfortable in my opinion. Objectively they are much more formal and subjectively I think they are a lot better looking compared to blundstones as well. However they are quite pricey, but worth it imo.”

“RM Williams aint gonna cut it for any wet outdoor conditions. I tried walking with it on a short footpath with mud and had water ingress. The leather soles don't have traction and will get annihilated by wet and rough terrain.”
