Sock wool

At R.M.Williams, we create premium footwear worthy of the journeys people take them on, year after year. Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams observed stockmen with cracked, split and worn-out boots across the rugged Flinders Ranges. He believed the answer to this situation went beyond embellishment, and that's why he designed footwear that was fiercely durable and remarkably comfortable. Since 1932, we've been creating men's leather boots that prioritise longevity. This hasn't changed, and our boots are still made in Australia using traditional techniques that prioritise care, skill and durability. Deeply respecting craftsmanship, local manufacturing, and our connection to the land and community, we make every design decision with intent. Since day one, our boots were made to be repaired and worn for decades, a philosophy now upheld through our Crafting a Better Future strategy. These standards have enabled our boots to cross comfortably from the Australian outback to city streets globally. And as our network of stores in the United Kingdom continues to grow, it's easier than ever to search for 'sock wool' or 'women's thermal socks' and find a suitable product for you.

We keep things simple, so our men's boots and women's boots speak for themselves. In our Adelaide workshop, every pair of boots goes through more than 80 processes during production. Cutting only premium hides in the clicking room, we shape each pair with a blocking machine before fitting them with a sole and branded tugs that make pulling them on effortless. Pressure spreads uniformly over the leather, providing instant comfort while it moulds to your feet with wear. Made from one piece of leather with a single reinforced heel seam, the design makes the most of the material's strength while reducing vulnerable points. Our Goodyear welt construction is designed for longevity, allowing you to resole and repair your boots as needed so they can keep carrying you further year after year. Plus, this technique provides additional protection for improved resistance to the elements. We also offer a range of soles, from refined leather during dressy occasions to treaded rubber soles for outback adventures, so you can find something that suits you when you're browsing for 'alligator skin Chelsea boots' and 'horse riding Chelsea boots'. Whether you're curious about 'sock wool' or something else, trust us to provide you with options for every look, lifestyle and terrain.
