The story of a 30+ year old pair of boots, their step by step restoration at the R.M.Williams Boot Repair Room in Salisbury, South Australia and the reunion with a very grateful owner.
After wearing 2 pairs of RM boots on a regular basis for 8 years I had new soles and heels put on by RMW. Soles could have lasted longer but just did both at same time. It comes back like new. This method works out for RMW boots to be the cheapest high quality men's leather footwear.
Only thing missing is boot trees. The uppers at the beginning looked not so good. Boot trees would have helped the leather to maintain shape. Boots looked great at the end.
Proper repair job. Overkill on replacing the leather insole as now the owner has to break them in a little again. Also, the praise for rubber sole , they forgot to mention how much cheaper and better for their margins it is to get customers to think like that. Only other thing is the outsole welt stitching is not as fine as before. its more loose which I think doesn't look as good.
