El Presidente Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Ok my Cuban heeled RM Williams are due for replacement. I love those boots but 10 years and 5 day a week wear has seen them reach the end of their lifespan. looking for an ankle boot. Tough. Good looking. Comfortable. Couple of Questions for the Boot Masters out there 1. What brand of boots do you recommend. 2. What hide or leather is both comfortable, good looking, tough wearing (ostrich/Snake/Stingray/etal). Any other hints
canadianbeaver Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I have a boot fetish. Don't get me started. Are we talking cowboy, desert, Blundstone? Can you be a little more specific ?
Deodato Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Another pair of RMs? Or buy two pairs and you won't need to go shopping again until 2033... If it ain't broke..
vanbellc Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Why not another pair of RM Williams? I bought a pair when I was in Oz a few years back and they are some of the best made, most comfortable boots I've owned. Good Luck!
canadianbeaver Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Sounds like these guys know what they are talking about boss...
Skyfall Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I don't think these are the same kind of boots I am a kin to........
Freefallguy Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 What's wrong with a pair like one of your Aussie mates had in Cuba?
ptrthgr8 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Do you have Ecco boots down under? I've had outstanding luck with those. Tough as nails, look great, just as comfortable in the office as they are in the field. Not the best for sub zero temps, but I doubt you have to worry about that too much in Oz.

Colt45 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Why not go back to your Chanel thigh-highs.........
Munts Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I would stay with the RMs. My Dad has a pair of RM's that he bought in the sixties that are still going..
El Presidente Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Well....i am happy to look at RM's again but there are some great looking exotic leather boots out their for 1/3 the price you can get here. Ankle boot. Cuban Heel Elastic Side Ostrich/Stingray/Snake Brown preferrably. Not sure how Ostrich or snake wears?
Jeremy Festa Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 The RM Williams are great and Australian made! But if you are looking to change things up a little, which your post suggests, in no particular order, check out:- 1. Mr Hare. Their Desert Boots are timeless 2. Visvim everything on there is the awesomest & 3. Redwing Beckman Chukkas Which come in an antique "cigar" leather which is very fitting Found here :- http://www.redwinghe...t-antique-cigar P.S. Harrison's on Racecourse Road stock Ecco and some other cool ankle boots.
Guest rob Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 What's wrong with a pair like one of your Aussie mates had in Cuba? Ahem....
El Presidente Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 Ahem.... Not visiting San Francisco night club district any time soon
Skyfall Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I didn't know there was even such a thing for guys to wear. I literally had to google "cuban heel boots" (I want to go on record that I believe you are using the term boot pretty liberally!) First came up pictures of turn of the 19th century pioneer women wearing something similar. I'll discount it as a mulligan. Then this came up. Seriously guys????? Seriously???? Rob, please don't......

El Presidente Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 These are the only boots you need Rob! Hard in a PCC/Banker meeting. Need a parrot.
Skyfall Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I have the ankles to carry it off..... Those are called "Booties" then...

jrb5783 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Not the dressiest but I have had the same pair for 5 almost 6 years and they show no wear at all
sharks Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Not the dressiest but I have had the same pair for 5 almost 6 years and they show no wear at all There is an 8 Inch boot available which is the only boot I wear. They are harder to get out of the US but I always move heaven and earth to get a pair when required they are that good.
