Big hat

Discerning shoppers look for lifestyle items that hold up, and that's exactly what we've been making since 1932. In the Flinders Ranges, Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams observed that stockmen were using boots that split, blistered and gave out at the worst possible moments. This pushed him to create quality men's leather boots that focused on simplicity rather than embellishment. He built footwear that did its job, ensuring that each one was fiercely durable, comfortable and ready for whatever the day held. R.M.Williams starts every pair with the same mindset: boots worthy of the journeys they'll be worn on, year after year. We still create our boots in Australia, following time-honoured techniques that favour longevity rather than shortcuts. Continuing to champion principles like durable craftsmanship, local manufacturing, and connection to land and community, we remain one of Australia's most loved boot makers. The boots we have are designed to be worn, repaired and lived in for decades, supported by our Crafting a Better Future strategy that focuses on circularity and sustainability. If you value things built to last, you'll find yourself in good company with us, whether you're looking up 'big hat' or 'rugby shirts for men'.

There's no substitute for a boot that reliably performs across work, travel and everyday wear. Each pair of R.M.Williams men's and women's boots begins with premium hides that are cut in the clicking room, shaped with a blocking machine, and completed with a set of branded tugs and a sole. Our one-piece leather construction also cuts out weak points and lets the leather's natural strength and flexibility become the highlight. Your boots will mould to your feet over time, with the leather easing and settling for a more comfortable fit. Include the Goodyear welt, a method that allows us to resole and extend service life beyond the first seasons, and longevity becomes a real feature, not an empty promise. Best of all, we offer various sole choices in our women's and men's boots to suit what you do and where you go, whether you're considering refined leather soles or durable treaded rubber soles. You then get a boot that moves as one, fits as it should and holds up, no matter what's on your agenda. When you're browsing for 'big hat' or exploring topics related to 'merino knitwear' and 'long sleeve rugby shirt', you'll find considered options across our collection.

Our founder has often said, 'The only thing better than a new R.M.Williams boot is an old R.M.Williams boot', so paired with careful production and materials, our promise to extend each pair's life includes keeping the repairs room open. Repairs services are available at our Adelaide workshop, and because of that, even the most well-travelled boots can be renewed while the leather upper remains intact. However many years pass, our repairs service continues to use the same time-honoured techniques that shaped them in the first place. If you're ready to secure your pair, you can order from our online store with standard and express delivery options. Meanwhile, if you want to see and feel your boots before committing to a purchase, use our store finder to locate the nearest exclusive UK store, or visit one of our UK partners. You may have questions about 'brown shoulder bag' or 'men's designer sweatshirts', which is why we have live chat and phone support available. We offer personalised assistance, whether you want to learn more about 'men's designer jeans' or 'women's travel wallet'. See what sets our Australian-made boots apart today.
