Head of Footwear Development, David Cook, likens the Randwick’s profile to the popular Rickaby boot, but says the finer silhouette gives it a more cosmopolitan edge.
“The Rickaby is a true work boot with its heavy-duty treaded rubber sole and metal lace eyelets, making it more of a rugged hiking or military-style boot. In contrast, we’ve given the Randwick a sleeker urban feel that’s more refined and classic with a very soft polished Aniline leather, blind eyelets, finer waxed cotton laces and a lighter rubber sole that’s both oil and acid-resistant,” David says. “It’s more formal and elegant, but it also feels quite fun.”
