R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boot

R.M. Williams / Vintage Brown

Crazy Horse is pretty easy to deal with, and still pretty nubuck-y. I’m curious to see what it’ll look like with a saddle soap… but it isn’t ready for that yet.

Have the CC in Black Yearling, and while it has broken in is pretty snug. I ordered these a half-size bigger and at least for the first slip-in, they feel pretty good.

More about this item

I’ve never had crazy horse leather anything, so let’s see what happens.

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Stock Model

The main reason is that I wanted a pair of Chelseas that I could wear like a sneaker, and I figured since it aligned with the Thunderdome timeframe, why not? I like the comfort and weight of the RM Williams (I have a pair in black yearling), and while the leather on these is pretty uninteresting, I thought it would be cool to document a “basic boot” and see it progress over time.

How did you determine your size?

H Last: 9.5HUS Men's Brannock: 10.5E HTB/10 HTT

Chatted with RMW support, who gave me a pair of 9H (black yearling) that has broken in, but fit pretty snug. So I got these in a 9.5 (10.5 US). I’m just a touch over a 10 H2T on Brannock, and an E width. These fit much more comfortably than the 9H.
