We are often asked questions regarding the
different leather and sole types for our range of RM Williams Boots so thought we would design a page that detailed the
main differences in the Boots we sell. If you have any questions regarding the different Boot styles,
please just call us on 01573 224620 or e mail enquiries@ahume.co.uk,
Craftsman Yearling Boot

The
Craftsman Yearling is the
iconic RM Williams Boot made with one piece of yearling leather upper and is fully leather lined. The sole is a welt sewn sole made of leather. The leather upper is stitched to the welting strip sole with hot wax dipped thread for durability and strength. A granulated corkalene filler offers increased cushioning between the insole and outer sole.
The Boot has a chisel toe, flat heel and has pull-on woven tugs firmly stitched between the front and back heel lining, with signature RM Williams branding.
Comfort Craftsman Boot

The
Comfort Craftsman Boot is made with one piece of yearling leather upper and is fully leather lined. The sole is a welt sole made using
a Longhorn non-slip composition sole and a comfort innersole. The additional padded heel lining increases the superior comfort of the insole and helps reduce heel strike.
The soft durable microfibre "sock lining" draws moisture away from the foot, allowing the foot to breathe. The leather upper is stitched to the welting strip sole with hot wax dipped thread for durability and strength.
The Boot has a chisel toe, flat heel and has pull-on woven tugs firmly stitched between the front and back heel lining, with signature RM Williams branding.
The Comfort Craftsman is identical to the Blaxland Boot - the only difference is that the Comfort Craftsman has a comfort inner sole whilst the Blaxland has a leather inner sole and no comfort inner.
Suede Craftsman Boot

The
Suede Craftsman is made using a
suede finished leather upper and is fully leather lined. The sole is a welt sole made of leather. The leather upper is stitched to the welting strip sole with hot wax dipped thread for durability and strength. A granulated corkalene filler offers increased cushioning between the insole and outer sole.
The Boot has a chisel toe, flat heel and has pull-on woven tugs firmly stitched between the front and back heel lining, with signature RM Williams branding.
Lachlan (or Drover) Boot

The
Lachlan Boot (renamed from the Drover Boot) is a more casual boot in comparison to the Craftsman style. It is made of
Vesta leather which is a waterproof leather with a matt water repellant finish. The leather upper is fully water resistant and has a treaded welt sewn Longhorn composition sole and a flat one piece composition heel.
The toe is chisel shaped and the boot has pull-on woven tugs firmly stitched between the front and back heel lining, with signature RM Williams branding.
Gardener (or Yard) Boot

The
Yard Boot is a working boot made from
Greasy Kip leather which is heavy chrome tanned hide - during tanning the leather is impregnated with special oils to make it water resistant. The
sole is a treaded, glued, stitched and screwed Longhorn composition sole with a flat one piece composition heel.
The Yard boot is very similar to the Gardener Boot - the only difference is in the sole - the Gardener Boot is a treaded welt composition sole whilst the Yard Boot sole is also screwed.
The toe is wide and the boot has pull-on woven tugs firmly stitched between the front and back heel lining, with signature RM Williams branding.
