The R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Chelsea Black Suede is by R.M. Williams — the iconic Australian bootmaker founded in 1932 in Adelaide by Reginald Murray Williams. The Craftsman Chelsea boot is made from a single piece of leather, with no side seam — a defining construction that has been refined but never fundamentally changed in over 90 years of production.
The boot is welted and Goodyear-style stitched, with a leather sole and a slip-on Chelsea silhouette featuring elastic side gussets and a pull-tab. The single-piece-of-leather upper is what defines the boot — it eliminates the weak point of conventional bootmaking and creates an instantly recognisable silhouette.
The Comfort Craftsman model features a more flexible sole construction and additional padding inside, designed for longer wear and walking comfort while keeping the classic Craftsman silhouette.
The suede version is hand-finished from premium calf suede — a more relaxed alternative to the polished leather Craftsman, equally well-suited to country and city wear.
This is the black colourway.
Care: Brush suede with a suede brush after wear. For polished leather, apply a leather cream every few wears. Use shoe trees overnight. R.M. Williams offers a refurbishment and resoling service.
